Need some assistance with wi-fi and ip solution. - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi Guys,
I am using T-mobile and NAND loaded and using BOYPPC ROM.
What my problem is exactly is, i know my office's wi-fi network key.
I can connect to the network but i dont want them to trace my IP,MAC address,UDID if its collected by their wi-fi router or server.
Can it be possible if i can connect to them via password and remain untraced.
Help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance. LONG LIVE HD2

No, it's not possible.
For a router to be able to do it's job it is necessary to store your IP so it can reroute responses to your requests to your device.

Steps for setting up a VPN connection over wireless

Please forgive me if this topic has already been covered here - I've spent the last 3 hours searching but may have missed it.
Although I have a K-Jam, my boss has an XDA Exec / Universal and he's asked for my help in setting up VPN connectivity. This will be a VPN connection over wireless & / or phone network data connection into a Windows Server, used for syncing with Exchange, Terminal Services, etc.
So please (if possible) can someone who's successfully setup a VPN connection please post a step-by-step guide to doing so, or point me to a thread that I've missed.
TIA
VPN on JJ
I have done it, but not able to get it to work. i logged a support call on imate, and they sent me the steps outlining the obvious, and still not able to get it to work. I was only interested in the VPN over WIFI using my home wireless & ADSL to that I could operate Terminal Services.
The VPN does connect, but when TSC was running, it cut off. Going into connections, and create a new VPN is an easy exercise if you know what you are doing, stopping it from disconnecting was the diffiiculty.
I was told, but cant vouch the accuracy, you need your phone networks assistance to do this over a GPRS internet connection as they have to open a port, again, not sure.
There will be more knowledgeable people on this network that can help, if not, then I will try some more.
Hi all,..
I thought It had something to do with the exclusion of a specific ip range or domain name.
Try to go to settings, connections, go to the screen where you make the VPN connection. In this menu klick the Advanced Tab, klick on exceptions and type in the (for instance: 192.168.1.0) range or the domain name of your company if you connect through domain name...
Now I've got an question,.. setting up an VPN connection is not my problem, the problem is that I would like the connection to be established online when I want to go to for instance: 10.0.0.0. Only when (in every program) I connect to this IP range the VPN connection schould be automatticly established. On the original T- ROM I had that fixed, now on the I-mate rom I cannot fix that.
can some one help me making this working? so when I connect to my home server TS, of connect to a home share on the road the VPN conection will automatticly be established...
Best regards
AD
Hi
Dig out my post in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=31370&highlight=
Should tell you what you want to know.
VPN works much much better on the universal than it did on my BA!
Nigel
Yep,..
after many atempts it's working now...
in the exceptions menu, on the exclusions the option
192.168.1.0 is'n't the correct option.... It must be:
192.168.1.* in order to specify the whle 192.168.1.--- range

Using M3100 to access XBOX LIVE?

Hi everybody,
I wonder if any of you Hermes experts can help.
I have been trying to use my phone to access xbox live using this guide:
http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=30830
I am using a t-mobile PAYG sim in the m3100.
I usually set up a bluetooth connection between my powerbook and phone and am able to access the internet this way.
I made the connection as usual and then set up internet connection sharing from the bluetooth dialup connection to the ethernet port. I then make a connection from the powerbook ethernet port to the xbox 360 port.
I then set up the IP address and subnet masks etc, on the 360 as detailed in the guide.
The setup seems to work, until the xbox tries to do a cofiguration test.
The IP address is resolved fine, but when it comes to the DNS server, the test fails.
Does anybody know of any good settings for the DNS? Does T-mobile possibly block this kind of use? (as it obviously breaks their 'no modem use' terms of service)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Ian

How to connect to campus wifi?

Good day everyone,
I have a vodafone magic which I am trying to get connected to my college wpa enterprise connection. My university provides a configuration file found at http://helpline.concordia.ca/network/wireless/ipod-iphone.shtml which installs on iphones allowing connection to the schools wifi. I wanted to know if the file could be modified to work on android so that I would be able to access the wifi, or maybe there is a app that allows connection to wpa enterprise?
any input would be greatly appreciated.
PHILL
You need to install wifi helper from android market and your magic needs to be rooted.
With that it's fairly easy to set up WPA enterprise by entering all the settings then disabling/reenabling wifi.
Stoo
thanks for the quick response, my magic is rooted and running the ion rom, this is great i will get the app and try this soon.
did this method work for you on the concordia wifi network? I am having trouble connecting!

Wi-Fi router

All
I have my htc setup to both internet sharing and Wi-Fi connection on my work PC with a lan connection. On both of these connections e.g. wired USB and wireless i can get the internet for about 3 minutes then it stops working. Is there some sort of block? I did see a while back that the WiFi app has no restrictions...
Any help would be superb.
Cheers

Thats a little odd, there is certainly no block and I have had the wifi router running for a good 30-40 minutes without failing.
what part is failing, is the phone no longer running the wifi router, or is the pc no longer getting internet on that network connection?
If you need help on how to find this info just reply and I can walk you through some more diagnostic steps.
The phone is still running just the internet stops on the machine. I have to stop the wi fi on the phone then start again then connect. I think it might be t-mobile but the internet on the phone is fine
are you in the uk?
if you connect your laptop to the phone via the wifi router you should be able to right click the network logo, click on status and view the wifi network info, it should tell you in there if it has internet access on that network connection.
If you try this again and when it fails check this status window and see if windows is seeing an internet connection or not?
when the net fails again try and visit http://72.14.203.100/ (this should be the google homepage) if you see google then there is a dns problem if it still says network timeout or failed to connect or something like that then we will have to dig further.
LOL thanks for your help. I am in the UK. ive been working in IT for the last 12 years and I know and have done the test, its not the machine it has something to do with the phone or t-mobile network
Sorry to hijack your thread a little, but I'm on the T-Mobile Network in the UK too (except I'm using a Touch Pro with a custom ROM), and although I can make connections from the PC to websites using the IP address, the DNS isn't working so I can't resolve domain names.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Steve.

It must be the phone then since I do use wifi router, I am on t-mobile and in the UK and I do not experience this :S
I seem to be saying this more and more but maybe you should try a hard reset and see if that fixes the problem?

This is likely an issue with the way your machine has been setup to connect to the wifi network. Try visting the properties of the network and vieing the dns settings for the tcp/ipv4, It should be set as Obtain DNS server addresses automatically. If it is set like this then try setting it too 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 these are googles, dns servers if this works for you then you could stick with this or do some further digging as to why you are not getting the dns server addresses automatically like you should be.

Setting the DNS entries to Google's makes it work, but attempting to get the DNS Server's automatically leaves me with no ability to resolve domain names. How strange?
Thanks for the workaround, not sure where to start looking to fix it properly.

Hey guys,
I am new to this wifi router thing and got the following questions:
1. To be able to use it, you must have data connection with your provider. Am I right?
2. By any chance, can I use this system by using a sim taken out of a prepaid mobile broadband dongle and inserted into my device (htc touch HD)?
3. Once I get connected can I surf the internet/check emails etc from within the device itself without the need to use a laptop?
Please don't mind these basic stupid questions.
cheers

Changing ISP's shouldn't matter... You haven't put any DNS servers in your phone manually have you?
