It will tell you your mac address.

Actually, that is a whole suite of network utilites.
If you just want to know you mac this will do it :

thank you very much for your fast help.

Go to "Settings"
Click on "WLAN" icon
Read the "MAC" line in the "Current Configuration" section

Yes. Thanks for that. We do know where to get the MAC address from the probelm is that it only appears in those settings if you are already connected to a wireless lan. If you need to know your mac address because you are trying to connect to a lan that uses mac filtering you end up in a stupid chicken and egg situation.

OKAY... This is the step by step
1. Use your stylus and click on the Windows Wavy Flag icon next the the word "Start" at the top of your home screen
2. Click on "Programs" from the pop-up menu to bring up the programs screen
3. Scroll down until you see "Wireless Manager" icon. Click on it to run the Wireless Mgr program
4. Click on the "WLAN" icon to turn on your wireless function. It'll turn GREEN. Now don't be afraid... You don't have to be connect to anything for your MAC to show... You only need to turn on your WLAN.
5. Now, do the rest of the steps as instructed in my previous post
Yes... it turns out you have to do more clicks from scratch than if you have already turned on your wifi function as told to from the manual (stupid assumption, YES). But it still beats installing a bunch of JUNKS to do a simple task. That's even MORE stupid!!!

Your mileage may vary but on my Blue Angel and many others the MAC address box in the wireless settings you describe STAYS BLANK, even if wireless is turned on, unless and until you actually connect to a wireless network.
If the wireless network you are trying to connect to uses mac filtering you cannot connect without knowing your mac address and you cannot find out your mac addresss without connecting....chicken and egg....catch 22...etc etc.

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.

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.

Connected ti WiFi router, but IE not connecting to Sites

Hey guys, I just recently got my Softbank and upgraded to WM6 this morning. All is good except for my WiFi. The phone is able to connect to my router but when I try to go to sites with IE it gives me this error:
"THe page cannot be displayed or downloaded because connection was lost. Check the connection and try again"
Sites show up fine with EDGE, but IE does not show sites via WiFi. Router even shwos the phone connected to it and that an IP is assigned.
Excuse my ignorance, I am new and any help and advice is greatly appreciated.
Try this ...

In your router verify you are not blocking or mac address filtering this connection. You might want to reserve the IP address for you device MAC.

I tried the settings and still no go. I'm using a Linksys router and I have it set up to where the router assigns the phone a specific IP. According to the router, the phone is connected and according to the phone, the phone is connected. Should the GPRS(EDGE) be active and connected at the same time? Cause it is, how do I manually disable it? I feel really stupid if this is why.
prodigalfish: Is that cab only for use with cingular network? I'm on tmobile network, so I'm not sure if I could use that cab. I will do a hard reset though, haven't tried that yet.
Yes It does matter....

TURN IT OFF!!!
Inside of activesync you must tell it allow wireless / data connection. If you press and hold the hangup red button the GRPS connection will drop. You can also turn it off in the comm manager.
Did you ever solve this problem as I am having exactly the same the one.
1. Wifi works fine, can transfer files over the network, Skype connects etc
2. Only PIE (PIEPlus) does not connect to web pages.
I have done everything mentioned here. Hmm

My guess is that the version of PIE you are using (or PIEPlus) has a hard-coded proxy address that your device cannot reach. I use Opera myself, works much better than PIE (IMHO).

Have you tried changing the authentication to Shared instead of Open?
This worked for me.
I have the same problem with these newest roms, just after set up 3G connection(Softbank by using ConnSBM).
It worked fine with roms before 5/15th.

Internet Sharing over WiFi

Windows Mobile 6 devices offer Internet Sharing feature for Bluetooth and USB. It works in this way that you start Internet Sharing application inside of your Windows Mobile phone and then other devices can share the Internet connection. What if you could fool Windows Mobile phone and instead of Bluetooth use WiFi? Would it be possible? Yes, it is:
how to use Internet Sharing over WiFi, which essentially makes the Hermes an Access Point.
Do the following:
1) Open Settings->Internet Sharing. Enable IS for Bluetooth PAN.
2) Change HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PrivateInterface to "TIACXWLN1" (it should currently be "BTPAN1").
3) Open Settings-> Connections -> Wi-Fi. Select Network Adapters tab. Click IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi.
4) Enter IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK.
5) Select Wireless tab. Add New.. to add the Network name for your ad-hoc network (I prefer "adhoc"
6) Set the client computer to use the same ad-hoc network. Client will receive an IP address from the device (don't need to manually set the IP).
I got this from a different website.

Edward!! you rock! this has got to be the sweetest thing, since wm6..for me atleast, Im actually posting from my old hacked OSX x86, I really cant believe this worked, but it did.
Thanks a ton for sharing the info.
Edward, Can you plse explain why you set the wifi adaptor to a fixed IP?
The 192.168.1.1 is as far as I know only valid if the router has the 192.168.1 range. For me it should be 192.168.123. ...
Thx for an explanation.
a cab would be perfect!
Yes! A very nice feature; could this be put in as a cab?
Or better, in the comm manager.....
Anyone?

I tried the steps to the letter however, I am unable to connect. I tried on one device running Schaps 3.54c & the other vp3G. I get confused after I complete the step "select wireless tab then add new." The new wireless network shows unavailable on my device" I think I'm unsure how to configure the connection on the PC side. I'm unable to get the wireless configurator to allow me to input a specific IP address. I'm using Windows XP Pro. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OK, I have been resisting, but why would you do this.
If you are using wifi to access the Internet, and the phone and PC both have wifi (in order to use wifi sharing), why not just access the wifi directly from the PC? Sorry to be thick, but I don't see why you would want this?

I have tried this out and it apprears to work pretty well- thank you so much, I had hoped this would be figured out. i had the idea to do this but not the technical know how.
This is awesome
but you know what would be also interesting?
to be able to share the wifi connection over Bluetooth or usb instead of the cellular.
Basically using the phone as a wifi adapter.

Actually, it came from this site - we've been discussing it for days in the Development and Hacking forum! It was in this post by Fluxist who'd discovered it in the first place, and the other sites have been following suit... we're working on a more elegant way to do it now. And you directly quoted his post!
I'm going to be trying to write a full-on NAT router for it I think, although we're seeing if we can do a basic version for now.
man, i cannot belive this..

I was thinking the same thing. I frequently stay in foreign hotels in which are "unwired." I'd love to use my phone as the registered device when buying wifi so that I could make VOIP calls and check my e-mails on ground and tether it to my notebook back in the roam. In Dubai, you can get hooked for $30 a day for wifi.

Is your wireless secure and are you mac address filtering. The phone also has a mac address you need to add to router if you are. It will show connected but not surf if your mac addy filtering.

You "guess" it's off??
Either you have it on or off.
Just log onto your router, which for example my Netgear is: 192.168.0.1
Enter your router's username (admin) as standard
Enter your Router's password (which hopefully has been changed from the standard password, which is..."password"
Click 'wireless settings'
There you should see an option to click on "Setup Access list"...click it.
Then you should see "Turn Access Control On" with a box with an option to tick or untick.
If it's ticked, then you need to go to "Add New Station Manually"
You will see "Device Name:" ...so enter your device name.
then you will see "MAC Address:"....enter the MAC Address of your phone which can be found by going into:
Settings/about phone/hardwareinfo
Once you've entered your info in the 'Device Name' and 'Mac Address' fields of your router, click "ADD" then click "Apply"
OR:
Just uncheck "Turn Access Control On" in the router, then enter your WEP or WPA password into your phone to connect.
If that doesn't work, unplug router from mains supply for 10 seconds, plug it back in then try that.
cheers

For Android users:100% working Internet via adhoc wifi network without any app!

This video shows you how to configure your laptop/pc and your android device to reverse tether Internet using wifi adhoc networks.It's working fine for me on my samsung galaxy gt-s5360 and i can download from google play ..
video : youtu.be/Mi2RAkPcNi4
or you can look for my channel on youtube adhoc327
----------------------------------------------------------------
Step by step wifi reverse tethering using adhoc networks :
Here i try to write down the steps shown on the video:
Step1 : Configuring laptop/pc :
1- First, you need to create an adhoc network:
Open network and sharing center on control panel
click on manage wireless networks then add , a windows is shown, select create an ad hoc network click on next then input a network name(for example name it 015) then choose the security type (you can select either open or WEP) then check the box save this network
2- now reopen network and sharing center on control panel then change adapter settings.
Right click on your internet network and click on properties then select the tab sharing and check the "allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection" (choose wireless network, if multiple networks are shown).
check also the "allow other network users to control or disable the shared internet connection"
next click on setting and check all items..
3- Right click on wireless network connection and double click on "internet protocol version 4(tcp/ipv4)"
on the new window select use the following ip address 192.168.137.1
and subnet mask 255.255.255.0
now activate your new adhoc network (if not already) go to the network icon next to the clock and select it and connect.
Congratulation your laptop/pc is now configured .
-----------------------------------------------
Step 2 : Configuring the android device :
Now, we will configure the android device to make it able to access this new adhoc network
Go to setting on the menu of your device
then wireless and networks then wi-fi settings then activate wi-fi .
Right click and choose advanced .
Check the "Use static IP"and fill in :
ip address: 192.168.137.5 (for example)
Gateway : 192.168.137.1
Netmask : 255.255.255.0
DNS 1: 192.168.137.1
DNS 2 : 172.168.137.1
then right click and save.
Finally, click on the adhoc network (and input password if you use WEP security) then connect.
And that's all ...enjoy internet with Google Play download supported...
If you encounter problems connecting ,try to disable then to reactivate wifi, else reboot your android device.

Ad-hoc networking
Ok, noob warning! Forgive me if this ain't the right place for this.
I'd like to set up an ad-hoc network between my HTC One S and my Macbook Pro. I have enabled the network on the Mac, but the phone does not seem to see it. Any chance of that happening without rooting? I'm too much of a noob to try that.
The purpose is to use my phone to browse my computer when a wifi network is unavailable. I'm not trying to tether for data.
Thanks!
good one
That's nice but the problem is that my galaxy young cannot detect the connection I've made in my laptop so what can I do now ??
