hey dudes...
i have a question about my HD2's ip
im connecting my HD2 via usb ( activesync ) and i want to telnet pc to HD2 but....
but i donno what is my HD2's ip???
how i can detect HD2's ip that it connected to pc via usb ??
( i want to telnet my device )
and i know that HD2's port is 9999
thank u
It wont have an IP, activesync isn't a networking protocol. I doubt you will be able to telnet to it over activesync.

Actually, it will, if your using the rndis driver (which is the default unless your phone has is having issue with connecting to activesync. if it is it needs a hard reset). Open a command prompt and type ipconfig. Then look for the device that has an ip like "169.254.x.x" on windows 7 it is identified as the last local area network connection, in my case, number 4.
The port you specified isn't the default telnet port and if you have a firewall running on the pc you will probably find you have issues connecting, so i would make sure you have the port number correct and then add an exception into your firewall.
samsamuel, you should know better!

ummm wouldn't that method return the PC ip address given to it by the HD2 during an established activesync session?
my suggestion would be to use a tool, such as dotfred's task manager for windows mobile, that can list the network interfaces and ip addresses assigned to those interfaces on the HD2. essentially, this technique is equivalent to running an ipconfig command on the HD2.

Shouldn't do. As far as i'm aware the pc assigns the IP address to the phone and not the other way around. If the phone assigned the pc the IP address for the interface i can't see how it would work correctly. I could be wrong but in all my years in IT i have yet to see a client assign an IP for the server.
nope, cant see anything in ipconfig,
phone on, unlocked and connected to WMDC,
ipconfig returns..

I thought at first maybe you meant netstat /a, but that doesnt show any 169 addresses. (And anyway, arent 169.254 addresses what a machine defaults to when it doesnt have an IP address? like when you turn the pc on with teh network cable unplugged.....)
samsamuel, you probably need to do "ipconfig /all" to see all interfaces.
and m3ph, you could be correct, but lets think for a moment that the phone ***is*** the server...
i would try my method myself but i've shifted to android!

ASCIIker, that is - to my knowledge - the only way i could be wrong.
Samsamuel, attached is an image of what i get when i do an ipconfig on widnows 7 pro with UAC off (i'm a big boy and i know what i'm doing..... i think )
umm ... here is my ipconfig screenshot .... somebody tell me where is my phone ip..!!!??
ok guys, i've checked it out, and i am correct.
first of all, running "ipconfig /all" on my pc gives (section in bold underline is of interest):

it clearly shows that the PHONE assigned the PC an ip address of "169.254.2.2". look further down and you can see that this PC interface is served by a DHCP server having an ip address of "169.254.2.1". so i tried to ping that ip address, because "169.254.2.1" is clearly not my PC's address.
Code:
C:\Users\Moe ASCIIker>ping 169.254.2.1
Pinging 169.254.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:

reply received! so then i opened up dotfred's task manager to confirm my theory. the ipconfig tab under dotfred's task manager clearly shows that the activesync connection is running under "169.254.2.1" assigned to the PHONE.
summary: no need to use dotfred's task manager on your phone. run "ipconfig /all" on your PC with sufficient privileges and note the DHCP server associated with your windows mobile connection interface. THAT DHCP server address is your phone's IP address.
m3ph: i understand why one would think that the PC is the server under an activesync partnership. after all, the PC's internet is shared to the phone in such a partnership, making us think that the PC is the server. however, the clue that gives rise to the concept that the PHONE is the server is the fact that the "repllog.exe" process (activesync) runs on the PHONE and it is in fact the critical data store whose items need to be synchronized under multiple partnerships. "one server, many clients" kind of deal.
Fair enough. You learn something new everyday, eh.
@ASCIIker
Does your pc not have an ethernet port then? Because if it does, why is it not showing? (or did you trim the data you posted?) Even without a network cable attached, it should still assign itself a 169.x.x.x address to that port.
Im not being funny, im genuinely interested in this, because everything ive learned over the past 20 years or so of computing is that 169.x addresses are assigned internally to unconnected network ports.
Plus, i just performed ipconfig /all both with and then without the phone connected, and there is no difference at all.

i do have an ethernet port, but i keep it DISABLED because i am using a usb wifi adapter to reach my home router...too far for cabling! if i don't keep it disabled, it keeps complaining about "network cable unplugged" which really bugs me. besides, i like to keep a tight ship, so all unused hardware is kept disabled and i avoid unnecessary software like the plague! running windows 7 ultimate quite smoothly on reaaaalllllyyyyyy ancient hardware:
-overclocked athlon xp 2500+ to 3200+
-nforce2 ultra motherboard with builtin sound, raid, sata, and network
-1GB corsair DDR2 set up in dual channel mode
-geforce 6200 w/128MB RAM
-1TB WD harddrive and a 200GB WD harddrive
-19" CRT monitor
(kicking it old school!)
the assignment of 169.x.x.x range occurs for ethernet ports configured for DHCP when DHCP doesn't respond. the lack of response could be because the cable is faulty and/or the switch's DHCP is acting up, etc. if the interface is set up with static ip addressing, the 169.x.x.x address will never be assumed.
to the best of my knowledge, the use of the 169.x.x.x range is not specific to the scenario you've mentioned...there are other uses as well...such as for activesync
hah, gotta love win 7, MS finally got one right.
OK, so, below is result of ipconfig /all without phone connected, below that is with phone connected.
See anything that i'm missing?

wow, the two are exactly the same! i dunno, maybe try running the command under administrator? also, are you certain an activesync connection is established? certain its not connected in disk mode? which flavor of windows 7 is it? what are the usb connection settings set up under windows mobile (i remember a checkbox which toggles some kind of faster usb mode thingie, i'm running android right now but i'm sure you know what i'm talking about)?
seriously, i dunno why your activesync connection won't show up in ipconfig...i just posted my observations for the OP, but it is certainly interesting if the information isn't showing up for you.
win7 ultimate, the dos box is deff an administrator box, AS is 100% connected, faster data mode is off.
However, ive been playing with vxutil which has come up with some interesting stuff,
wifi off, mobile data confirmed disconnected, the only connection being the AS, and when i run the info command (shows adapters and such, just like ipconfig on pc)
it tells me..
Current Ip
HTC68
192.168.55.101
If i have wifi on when i connect AS current IP changes to 192.168.0.1 (which i would expect it to be, but what it shows is that the Ip doesnt change when I connect to AS, i tested this by fixing my wifi to a specific IP, x.x.0.99, , and hey presto, the current Ip stayed at ..0.99 when i connected to AS, and jumped back to ..55.101 when i turned off AS)
In the list of adapters the only one with the x.x.55.101 is 'serial over USB', so that must be the usb connection, (and indeed with all connections disabled, as soon as i disconnect AS the current ip becomes 127.0.0.1) but further down is an adapter called
VMINI1
with
IP 169.254.0.3
gate 169.254.0.3
Pri DNS 127.0.0.0
From the (admittedly brief) googling i did, it seems the VMINI port is a virtual port, so I assume its function is to route to whatever real connection is available.
curiouser and curiouser.
(oh and for my ownsanity i read several sites regarding the 169.x.x.x addresses, , self generated non routable addresses assigned by windows when there is no dhcp server present, so no device would assign another device a 169 address.)
EDIt - oh, ok, googling "Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter" (the name of your adapter from your ipconfig post) and reading up on it, it seems that sometimes in PC hardware you get that in teh network adapters section, and sometimes you get 'Microsoft USB sync' but under mobile devices.
I wonder why,,, I tried starting it (the instructions to start it are 'plug in the phone', lol,) but nothing.
Oh well, i give up, everything works as it should, so its academic really.
thats a lot of great info dude! thanks a bunch! this has been quite a fun thread, i've learned a lot!
while you're at it, maybe you could try plugging it in with "faster data mode" enabled? i guess it would bring us full circle, having exhausted all the variables.
hah, just been to shop, pondering as i went, and faster data and disk mode were gonna be the last tests before i gave up, and with faster turned on there it is! (in pc device manager) Microsoft Windows Mobile Remote Adapter
169.254.2.2 with a dns of x.x.2.1
can even run NMap scans of it.
and in VxUtil it now shows current ip as 169.254.2.1, regardless of whether wifi and what not is on. As soon as faster data is off again, current ip becomes x.x.0.1 with wifi on, and x.x.55.101 with wifi off.
Course, WMDC now doesnt sync, or even connect, lol (and it wont until i reboot the PC, , i know this from a thousand 'araarrgghh i forgot to disable faster data' moments)
Anyway, case closed, i can get on with some unreal tournament now, hehe

Dude, mine works consistantly fine in (what is known as) RNDIS mode. i've only had a problem once and that was actually caused by the phone. A hard reset fixed it. I would suggest you have an issue there somewhere especially if it is a recurring thing.
BTW i'm using windows 7 pro. PC specs in my sig.
