I am trying to setup my phone to connect to my WLAN at home but I need to know my MAC number. I've checked everywhere and I don't know where to find it. Any ideas?

If you have security enabled on your wireless lan, you can disable it and allow the device to connect via dhcp and then check the dhcp host file for the mac address or plug it up via active sync and do an ipconfig /all and find the adapter to get the mac address that way. The connection should be named Windows Mobile Based Device.

Mac filtering is very weak security and a waste of time and effort because anyone can simply spoof one of your device's macs and get on your network. So forget mac filtering and turn on WPA security instead and choose an 8 letter passphrase, its the strongest and simplest way to secure your network.
Temporarily disable MAC filtering and connect to the AP. Then go to Start -> Settings -> Connections -> More -> WiFi Settings -> Connection Status. The MAC address will be available near the end of the list.
Make a rom dump with bkondisk and open bk_02_0005.img in a hexeditor. You will find the MAC at offset 0x47e5c in reverse notation
PS: you can also run or flash the USPL (see sticky) and set a MAC address of your own choice. Connect with MTTY and at the command prompt type:
emapiWlanMac 00 01 02 03 04 05 (the six two-digit numbers are the six hexadecimal MAC byte values and should be replaced by anything you like)

I use both
Open comm manager
Press 3 to turn on WiFi (if it's off)
Press settings softkey
Press 3 - WLAN settings
Press 2 - Connection Status
Scroll down to MAC:
Your MAC address should be displayed.

Hi....

Hey XDA!
just a quick question. Has anybody been able to connect to a wifi network after changing your MAC address? I've tried it on Oxygen, Hydrogen, CM13 and it's always the same, as soon as I change the MAC if I try to connect to a network it will stay at "obtaining ip address" and never connect unless I change back to my original MAC. Any help or input would be appreciated, thanks.
I tired a lot of applications for it and after they wifi mac address will comeback or I just cant connect to wifi ("auth problem", but password is 100% valid)
