Is there a way to resolve the Android Domain Name (or is it host name?) with SAMBA?
I use "Samba Filesharing" (com.funkyfresh.samba) and since CM10 I have to use the (dynamic) IP address which changes quite often but would like to have a permanent network drive in my Windows Explorer.
Any solution?
Thank you.

You could assign/reserve one permanent ip adres for your defy in your network router. Just assign one specific ip adres to MAC adres of your defy in your router. That's how it'll get the same ip adres any time you connect to your network.
no access to the router but. thx

Anyone has a step by step guide on how to use remote desktop to control ur PC from your Titan? I just dont know what to put for all these fields.
for easier setup, use logmein.com, its free and works from the titan. Do it all the time, great for getting around pesky firewalls and complex network setups.
hey I do use logmein.com for work.. How do i use logmein for mobile? Is there a mobile version? or u go in through opera?

This how I use it when connecting to my computer at work.
Computer: IP Address
User Name: Domain\vane0326
Password: xxxxxxx
Domain: Your Company Domain name
For the IP Address I had to go into my company firewall and link my internal ip address to a external ip address. When connecting to your company computer use the external IP address.
There are various ways to do this but this is how I use it.

Be careful about opening the remote desktop port (3389) to all inbound traffic. There are some serious implications for your network security.
LogMeIn is much safer and totally free. It also works with non-static IP addresses. Visit from your computer first and set the program up there, then visit from IE Mobile and set it up on your phone.
Hello.
Is there a way to change the mac address of the wifi network interface of the titan?
I would like to be able to do that so I can use my titan's browser to authenticate to web portals, and then use my wifi voip phone (with the same mac address) to make calls.
Do you mean MAC address or IP address?
The MAC is a hardcoded address of the form xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx, using hex. MAC addresses cannot be changed as each interface has a unique number. The MAC address can be spoofed to match another interface, this is usually an available feature on routers to spoof to the ISP that you are not sharing a connection on your home network.
The IP address can be changed and is of the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx using only numbers. The WIFI interface on the titan will be set up for DHCP, ie it requests an address from the wireless source it is connected to. This can be changed to give the IP address required if DHCP is not availabe on the network selected.
I am talking about changing/spoofing the mac address if the network wifi card.
There are a bunch of utilities out there that are able to do so on the fly for windows XP, maybe someone has one for windows mobile?
Or a registry key location that does that?

Hi Drew,
I appreciate your reply, however, could you be a little more specific? reflash to rom meaning the Verizon Stock rom?
How could I get the IP address to my G1? thats the Ip my phone uses for internet not the ip when its connect via wifi
You have a couple options. Using Terminal Emulator you can use the netstat command or you can use the easy way and go to www.ip-address.com. What do you need your uip address for anyway? You can't remote in through edge or 3g like you can wifi though telnetd.
thanks...................

now i dont know the name of the app which was released last week in the market, but it uses dynamic dns and updates your G1's IP address automaticly to a domain name.

You're referring to DynDNS and you can also find it in some routers. Unfortunatly, I believe there is a service charge for it. I use no-ip instead because it works just as well. But as far as I know DynDNS is the only app that offers this. But again... why do you need it??? I noticed that when I go to whatismyipaddress.com and when I do Netstat in Terminal Emulator I get two different ip addresses. I don't know what's up with that but I'm thinking that the netstat is the ACTUAL ip address and the ip address shown on the web site is a proxy. I would imagine that T-Mobile would not be stupid enough to leave their subscribers phones open to everyone else. It's very simple to get someone elses ip address if you're a host of a web server since all ip addresses are logged and without security (such as a proxy) it could leave all users vunerable. So my conclusion... if you had your real ip address... what do you plan on doing with it? You can only access your G1 through WiFi as far as I know. But correct me if I'm wrong.
Hi,
Using a HTC HD2 I am trying to access my home network via WIFI (WPA2/PSK - AES). Some of it works, some of it doesn't and I was hoping some of you would be able to point me in the right direction:
I can connect to intranet pages (for instance utorrent web interface) via IP, but not via hostname.
I cannot connect to network (smb) shares at all, either via IP or hostname.
A program which requires the hostname to work (since I use it over Hamachi VPN as well as locally and don’t want to change the IP based on how I use it) does work over Hamachi and not over WIFI.
I'm quite confused
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Elco
Sounds like your DNS isn't working. Do you have custom DNS servers configured in the "Name Servers" tab of network card config?
Yhanks for responding!
It should get it from DHCP (though I have tried assigning a static IP and dns, but this gave the same result)
Also, I have another older win mobile device, and with the same setttings it does allow me to access the network shares (by IP and hostname)
I've combed all settings regarding wifi and network, but since they are the same I am guessing it is probably a different at the registry level?
The HTC HD2 does have 2 broadcom wifi adapters mentioned though, a normal one and one with a DHD postfix.
Cheers,
Elco
@Talisman_: same problem here. have you solved it?
Exactly same problem on xperia x2. I just set on manual temporary.
Are you using Hamachi on your phone?
Did you have this problem prior to installing Hamachi?
The reason being is Hamachi installs a network interface which exists whether or not Hamachi is running
You may want to check your Data Connection settings and see if it has applied the "requires a proxy" setting
What are you using as your DNS server though, that is the question.
If it's your broadband router, then chances are it won't be able to serve DNS requests for internal devices (ie computers on your home network).
If that's the case, you'll need a proper DNS server (get an old PC and install Linux) and create a local domain such as home.local, or if you've got a registered domain, you can even set it up the same (domain.com for instance) just tell the DNS server it's the domain master.
It's been yonks since I played around with Linux so I can't tell you how, much easier with Windows Server
Some people advise against using the same public domain name as an internal domain name, but it just means you add A records for any public addressess such as WWW.domain.com or mail.domain.com if it's accessable outside your network as well as inside.
Alternatively, if you're only going to be accessing them via the home network then you could try adding a few hosts to your registry (use the windows calc or similar to convert each IP address number to Hex)

As always, you modify the registry at your own risk.
I want to visit this page on my server
http://192.168.2.53:8080/tma/majBtm/androidToDesktop
Since it's a dynamic IP, the above mentioned IP address keeps changing everytime I reset my connection. I replaced the IP with a DynDNS hostname I created
http://tmagrails.dyndns-ip.com/tma/m...droidToDesktop
However, I'm unable to access this page from a remote machine (any machine outside the server's network)
I was asked to forward the port 80 to 8080. I'm unable to do so as there is no port forwarding option in my router page. I use a UTStarcom UT300R2T modem/router.
Is there any workaround for this?
Please advice.

This IP Address is a local-only IP address.
IP addresses in the 192.168.x.x ranges cannot be accessed from the internet.
You need to port forward a particular port on your router, and map that to the internal address. Your router has an external facing IP address, and you need a router that supports DynDns in its control panel.
You can find your external IP via www.whatismyipaddress.com but to get this working you need to be able to setup an incoming port forward, so port 8080 is directed by your router to your PC. The DynDns is currently pointing to
tmagrails.dyndns-ip.com (117.192.174.157)
So you just need to somehow forward all incoming connections to port 8080 onto that desired computer, and give that machine a static IP address on the internal network via DHCP pre-allocation.
