mac address

Does anyone know how I can find out the mac address of my xda IIs ? I have a dreytek wireless router at home which uses a mac based access control list. I've tried the addresses that appear in wireless LAN manager ( BSSID and MAC ) but no joy. The only way I can connect is to switch off the access list feature completely
jeff

Hi Jeff,
Switch off the Access control, and let the XDA IIs join the wireless network. Then go into Diagnostic Tools --> View DHCP assigned addresses, and you will get a list of MAC addresses, IP addresses and hosts on the network. Match your phone's name to the MAC address.
Then you can turn access control on again and input the phone's mac address into the "allowed" list.

Thanks for the reply. I've kind of done that as you can see from the DHCP table below
DHCP server: Running
Index IP Address MAC Address Leased Time HOST ID
1 192.168.1.1 00-50-7F-23-97-CC ROUTER IP
2 192.168.1.10 00-00-00-00-00-00 BAD IP
3 192.168.1.11 00-0D-61-4E-A7-F7 0:00:04.600 hubbo
4 192.168.1.12 00-09-2D-0E-49-61 9:24:34.170
(not sure about that BADIP line ! )
I would say my MAC is 00-09-2D-0E-49-61 but it's still not working.... odd.

Is there no way that you can tell the MAC address from the phone without connecting to a network.

Here is a freeware that will allow you to find your MAC with no connection. I used it on my PDA2K.
http://www.freewareppc.com/communication/vxipconfig.shtml
Install on your device. Just turn the wifi on and run the program and it will give you the MAC and additional device info. Don't have the PPC connected to the USB or it will identify that device.

Sorted thanks, whilst in PC World I scanned for a Wireless network, and found three, hehe! Once connected used that utility to get my MAC.
Many thanks!

How can I get the Wireless Card MAC address ?

Thanks

Are we talking about an SD wifi card? Look on the back, that's where my MAC address is printed.

I am talking about the integrated wifi card

Not the best nor easiest way, but I watched the log files on my LinkSys to see what devices were connected. Mine would not conenct as I had MAC filtering enabled, however I was able to see the devices MAC.
I am sure there are apps out there that will do this, I believe IP Dashboard will do this as well:

It will show you the MAC address in the 'Wireless LAN Manager" (it does on my XDA2s)
The BSSID is the MAC address of the AP (access point) that you are connected to. (if you are connected)
Below that you will see the unit's (client) MAC address

Problem is: WLAN manager doesn't show the MACaddress if you just turn it on, only when it's associated with an Access Point. (i.e. when it has a wireless link)
Just like the previous poster, I've had to disable any security on the AP to get it connected in the first place. Once its online you can pick it up from DHCP logs or whatever and re-establish your WEP/WPA/PEAP and macfiltering.

Hmm are you sure? I've tested it. I'm not near my AP, and have no connect with one, but I do see my MAC address!

Try running vxIPConfig from Cambridge Software. It'll display the MAC address for all installed network cards.

Hi,
On a related note, is it possible to see what networks/wep keys are setup anywhere?
If for example you wanted to remove one or one changed, I have never seen anywhere which lists them.
Thanks

Mac Adress en wep keys
On my 9090 I also have to be connected to an Access Point to ba able to see my Mac Adress.
Once connected go to Wireless manager, below click on the Configure Wireless Netwerks icon, then click on the network in the top window under Add New, this opens the network with name and connects to: At the bottom 3 Tabs, middle is Network Key, there is the WEP key, Disabled on my work network and Enabled with my Key on my home network. hope that helps abit.

Unable to connect Wireless Lan when phone signal is weak?

Hi,
I'm experiencing a weird problem and please let me know if it's only my problem or there is some work around for it.
My phone is SX66 upgraded to 1.40 ROM + 1.13 Radio stack
I can connect Wifi fine whenever I have some phone signal (at work). Whenever I go home where the phone signal is weak then the WIFI couldn't get connected (I believe I set up my home network correctly as I've been using it for so long and configure it for several computer/laptop in house). The network could detect the AP with the SSID but I just couldn't connect to it even I'm sitting right next to the AP.
ROM 1.40
Radio: 1.13
MDD

Are you sure it isn't connecting? What has led you to this conclusion?
Is it possible that it is connecting, but that you just can't browse the internet, in which case check your connection proxy settings. If your work uses a proxy server and you've enabled the pass-through setting in ActiveSync, your network connection may be configured with your work proxy server.
If you're sure you're just not connecting however, things to check are;
WEP/WPA Encryption - If you're using it and have other wireless devices on your network, you no doubt know what to do. If not, say so & I can help you.
DHCP - Does your router/AP support Auto-IP Addressing? Is it enabled? If not, you'll have to configure the WiFi card with a static IP within the same subnet as your router. Ask if you need help.
MAC Filtering - Are you blocking unauthorised MAC Addresses (on your router/ap)?
Interference - Wireless A/V Senders and digital cordless phones are common culprits for RFI. 802.11x APs support multiple channels (most default to channel 11), and you can change these in case of interference. Once again, if you have other WiFi gear already connected with good, strong signals, you can probably discount this one.
Sorry if this is all elementary to you - I don't know how technical you are.

Thanks for your reply.
> Are you sure it isn't connecting? What has led you to this conclusion?
Yes, I've check wireless status on the phone. "Connected to the network", and the AP with DHCP on showed the status of an IP has been allocate to the SX66 mac address. However I dont' really believe it then I check the "Adater", it said network available, and the WIFI icon just didnot show any traffic.
> Is it possible that it is connecting, but that you just can't browse the internet, in which case check your connection proxy settings. If your work uses a proxy server and you've enabled the pass-through setting in ActiveSync, your network connection may be configured with your work proxy server.
I've experience once with the internet connection via Active Sync so I disable the passthrough. Both home and work doesn't have proxy server so I selected not to have any on the phone.
> WEP/WPA Encryption - If you're using it and have other wireless devices on your network, you no doubt know what to do. If not, say so & I can help you.
At work, I have 128 WEP and the connection works fine with the key. At home, I open my network but using MAC filtering to protect it. I have problem with the open network one at home. Perhaps, I will try to setup WEP at home and see if it can work.
The only thing I'm not really clear is the difference between setting "WPA" and "WPA-PSK" from the phone.
> DHCP - Does your router/AP support Auto-IP Addressing? Is it enabled? If not, you'll have to configure the WiFi card with a static IP within the same subnet as your router. Ask if you need help.
Yes, DHCP enable as I don't want to change it back and forth when traveling.
> MAC Filtering - Are you blocking unauthorised MAC Addresses (on your router/ap)?
I do it and I already opened the network and then captured the MAC address into the AP memory. (that's why I think it's connected but will check).
> Interference -
Not really, I'm 6' away from the AP and I don't have any cordless device in my computer room.
> Sorry if this is all elementary to you - I don't know how technical you

No problem, I'd like to learn more about this PDA. The concept is about the same with PC, but the tools to debug is not there. I can't use tracert/traceroute, ifconfig or ping broadcast to really know if I'm the network.
Once again, thanks a lot.

Okay, well it sounds like you're on the right track & know what you're doing.
A useful troubleshooting tool, which gives you tracert, ping, whios, ipconfig and a host of other tools is "vxUtil", which is freeware. I'd give you a URL for downloading it, but I'm on my iMate now (sipping coffee by the Yarra in a Melbourne Cafe - oh what a techno-wanker am I!), but search these forums or Google it and you'll find it.
Now, regarding the proxy thing... These PPCs are a little tricky with their internet settings, and I had to create a different 'connect using...' connection profile, if that makes sense. The important setting within the profile, which is under the Proxy tab, from memory, is "This network connects to the internet".
Now for some reason, if you don't enter in a proxy server here, that check-box doesn't stay checked when you ok your way out. So what I've had to do is go into the advanced area & enter anything in the "wap" proxy, then ok out.
Strange, but it seems to work. Although I always leave my "Private network" on "My Work Network", I can now browse the 'Net through the WiFi AP/Router.
Download vxUtil & see if you can ping your AP, then go from there.

I've worked around the problem by using static IP address instead of depending on DHCP. Thanks to Hitchhiker software. I noticed that it was trying to obtain IP address from DHCP but failed. (The very same DHCP work wells for the rest of my network). Anyway, I will use Hitchhiker to switch IP back and forth if necessary.
Thanks a lot!

Great to hear you found the problem - well done.

Hmm... I can't get it to work. My Universal says:
Cannot connect. Likely reasons are:
1. Specified computer name or does not exist
2. A network error occurred while estabilishing the connection.
What I've done:
- Enabled the Remote Desktop on my computer.
- Forwarded the 3389 port to remote desktop in Windows's built in firewall. (I don't use any other one)
- Checked what is my IP
- Started the Remote Desktop Mobile on my Universal
- Entered the IP to the computer name
- Entered a username without any password, and domain
P.S.:
My Computer is behind a router. Maybe I need some other tweak?
P.P.S.:
What is the best Remote Desktop application if this one does not works? Maybe I should try another...
Help please.
Thanks

You need to set up your router to forward it to your PC. "Port forwarding", I think is the word, should be under Server/Application setup on your router.

WOW! You're fast! Try it, and post the changes

Well, I've found some things under my router Remote Management setup.
- Enabled HTTP
- Enabled UPNP
- Enabled PPTP
- Enabled IPSec
I'm quite new in router setup, because I've just get my first router about 1 months ago.
Maybe I'll try to pull out the router, and plug the internet directly to my PC. If it works, than the problem is in my router setup.
I've just realised it if I pull out the cable from the router, I cannot connect my PDa via wifi Saaaad
Now I must play with the router settings

Just a quick question. When switching on the wifi on your universal, which access point does it connect to ? Or you need to setup a adhoc between the pc and universal. Your universal must be on the same ip range as the desktop.
Let me know if this has been done yet.

There is some advice for setting up Terminal Services under XP SP2 at this link.
http://www.pctools.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27117
You also need to be able to ping the XP SP2 machine successfully from your XDA. Try vxUtil to make sure that you can do this.
I do this at home through WiFI and it works well, particularly through the 640x480 screen.

Well, I won't encourage you to mess with the router if you don'tknow what you are doing. As of a router, Remote Management setup -> Enabled HTTP sounds to me like that just opened your router to the outside world, and if they are able to brute force their way into your router, your router is at their mercy.
Anyway, since you said that you used your phone and PC at the same router, you ought to able to do it with the LAN IP address, which should start with 192.168. At your PC, Start -> Run -> "Cmd" -> "ipconfig". That should display your network stuff, look for the 'IP address'. Use this address instead of the one you get from whatismyip.com

Sorry for nnot posting this time. I've been busy.
Well,
To hanmin:
I didn't played with the router, because of no-time, but I'll try what you've said. But I know ehat I'm doing, I'm just not experienced about advanced networking. But maybe time will teach me. Or you guys
To mikeycrawford:
Thanks will read it, and if there's any solution try it too.
To wh1t3w0lf:
Well, I want to try remote desktop via internet, not via WiFi. I mean I want to connect to my computer from my work, so I didn't selected ad-hoc connection. BTW thanks for the help
So thank you all your helps, I will have 2 days break, maybe then I'll try all you've written. And of course post the results.
Cheers,

Awwwwwwww maaaan just tried it and it works!!!!!! Now I have another question.
Ok I'm logged in, but the XP user on my PC automatically logging out. My friend doing remote desktop from our work, and when he logs in from the work on a Pc, the PC what is at home, don't logs out, it still the same, and he can use the computer to help his girlfriend.
So if he logs in form work, his gilrfried can see what he is doing.
I hope you guys can understand it, I'm writing a bit messy.
So can I do it form my PDA to PC too? And the anwer is yes, can I get a separate program for this? I think my friend uses a program what is called VNC.
And another question: I know the built-in remote desktop in the best program for this process. What are the most useable programs? I mean: best speed, or more beautiful look.
Cheers, and thanks for helping

[APP]Wake on Wan V1.3 (01/08/10)

I have created a new Windows Mobile application to wake up hosts in a network or over the Internet. Your networkcard and/or PC must support AMD's Wake-On-Lan (WOL), most networkcards and PC's do support this nowadays.
Features
Use Win32 Sense SDK.
Sources files available!
Stores hostname, MAC address and port number using registry.
Wakes up a host in a local area network (LAN) or in a remote area network (WAN)
Support for all screen resolutions
Requirements
A Windows Mobile 6 Smartphone or PocketPC device with access to WAN (wifi/3G/GPRS...)
Computers in your network that support Wake-On-Lan
Change log
V1.3
Uses the latest Manila's SDK V1.3 which improve speed and landscape compatibility
Correct a bug when using WIFI
Add some informations (IP of device & resolved host)
"

Hi,
anything like it exist already.

Thank you, I hadn't seen this program before... However, there are some differences as the use of the win32 SDK and the availability of sources.
I hope someone will find the sources usefull

I really need this.. and have no idea what to do. unfortunately, i can't forward a port for a broadcast address in my LinkSys WRT160N.
anyone knows how to set this up?

Set up LinkSys
Hi,
Try to setup your router without the broadcast, sometimes it works... For example, if your PC's IP is 192.168.0.10 and your extern LinkSys's IP is 80.32.3.4, try to set up your router like this :
UDP forwarding:
in port: 12345 for example (you can use any number below 65535)
out IP: 192.168.0.10
out port: 9 (or 7 depands of your hardware)
Then in my app, the host IP will be 80.32.3.4 and the port 12345...
I hope it will be OK...

which app works best?? because there is 2 of these circling around these forums.. and i'm going to use the best one... which is more user friendly? and has the least amount of router input work?? either that... or will the op be so kind and kinda hold my hand and walk me through it via PM?? i will gladly sport your appication

The other application can save the configuration of multiple computers while mine only records one...
Also, mine is not based on dotNET so is slightly faster...

@nir36:
You could also try to use a smaller subnet/range. My router won't allow to forward a port to 192.168.0.255, but I changed the subnet mask to 255.255.255.224 and so the range is from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.30 with 192.168.0.31 being the broadcast address for that range and which I can forward the needed port to.
You can use a subnet calculator if you need more or different IP addresses (do a search for subnet masks on google)
@ProjektFuze:
Least router input work ?? You have to setup your router/computer the same, the program just takes the public IP address, MAC address and port and sends a packet which is the same for both.
I would say WOL everywhere is more complete but this app here is more straightforward if you need it for only one computer...

Thanks for sharing!

I cant get it to work over GPRS/3G, only on Wifi!
Is that how it should work or do i have wrong settings somewhere, cant find any settings!

It should work with 3G... It's probably a router problem !
When using 3g, the IP you set in my app must be a public IP (not 192.168.X.X) and if you have a router, you should tell him to route the packet to your local IP...
If you don't understand (English is not my native language), tell me more about your problem.

Hi!
It is not a router problem, my HD2 cannot even connect to internet in the program, and by an app in android it works perfectly so it is not in my router or computer... Can it by some issue with my rom?

Strange...
When you are allready connected to internet, is the button enabled ?
I have a friend which have an HD2, I will try with his device and post here tomorow... Maybe another application prevents the connection...

I've tested my app on the HD2, and no problems...
My app should show your IP when connection is found. Try to:
-unconnect from 3G and launch wakeonwan. My app will normally trying to connect using 3G. Is this step OK?
-Connect your phone and launch wakeonwan. My app will normally trying to find your IP. Is this step OK?

No, neither works! It only say "Cant connect to internet"! It´s only on Wifi it connects... :-S

Ok, I will try to change the connection process and update it...

To understand the problem, what is the real message printed ?
Can't establish connection to web...
Can't find web connections...
Can't retrieve available connections...
Can't find your IP address...
An other question: is the app searching for a connection or the message is directly printed?
Thank's

Ok, can you try this version ?
remplace the old .exe with this version in /program files/WakeOnWan/

It´s the first one, Can't establish connection to web.
