I am trying to hook up my i-mate with my home wireless connection...
but I couldn't find out the Mac Address of my i-mate
Any idea ??
thanks
You cant really without being connected to a network, its annoying.
Turn off MAC address filtering and connect.
Now on your device click STart>Settings>Connections>Wireless Lan
on the Advanced tab you will see your devices MAC address.

So your ISP requires you to register every wireless device by Mac address? That's very secure of them and I'm wondering if it is correct. Have you ever been able to get any device to connect to the Internet using your wifi connection?
is your router set up to block ip adresses, ? it could be locked down in the router settings to only let certain ip connect, im guess ing your pc works though the router, hook it all up, go on a browser and hit up 192.168.1.1 (i think thats what it will be ) and check the router settings.
my pc works i just had to change my mac address to theirs, the isp guys did it when installing it, and also on my xbox i had to change its mac to the one on my computer, how could i do something similar to my device
i would see about a different router man, i no you cannot change your xbox mac address after many years of modding them i no that for deff, and i doubt you will be able to change the mac address of your phone either
You can't change the MAC address of a network device. It's the unique hardware serial number of the network device.
maybe look for a router that does mac clonning
i did not mod my xbox it is possible, it's not the ip address witch can not be changed it's the mac address...
For the samsung and lg wp7 phones there are some solutions to find the mac address.
How can we find the mac address of htc trophy ?
If you have got a Router at home, and your Phone is connected to it via WiFi - just check the Mac Adress in the Router Menu.
Thanks. it worked...
Just Got a focus from america (i live in the uk). Everything seems to work, except the wifi. It just says connection unsuccessful your phone couldnt reach the wi-fi network. . does anyone know how to solve this issue ?
Is this a home router or work router your trying to connect to? Some people have reported that having the router assign a static IP worked, because DHCP was assigning a IP address that was already assigned to another device.
If it's a corporate router MAC address filtering maybe enabled & your phone's MAC address may not be in the list of allowed devices. It could also be that you haven't loaded the required certificate to allow you use of the router.
In order to get the Shift to associate with my AP, I need to change the first 2 digits of the WiFi MAC Address to 00 or the router will not accept the device and there is no DHCP lease.
When I remove all saved WiFi entries and run:
ip set eth0 address 00:12:34:56:78:90
to spoof the MAC for example, I can see using the 'ip show' command that it was indeed changed. However when I try to reassociate with any access point (open or not) then I can not connect. The only reason I can think of why this isn't working is because I am not using an engineering hboot.
Does anyone know a workaround for this? Many r outers will not accept the first 6 characters of the mac because it looks invalid. This is with root ofcourse running CM7 with the latest busybox.
Thanks!
I'm having the same problem right now - when I change MAC in my Galaxy S and try connecting to my home router it stops at authenticating and then disconnects.
Router is configured to WPA2-PSK (but with WEP also doesnt work), MAC filtering disabled.
Any ideas?
