[Q] Point to Intranet Website when connected to wifi

Question:
How to point HTC Droid Incredible to our companies Intranet website, I have edited the HOSTS file it look like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.0.12 mydomain (Sorry new so I can not use URL)
The problem is when I try to go to mydomain (Internal) it still goes to the internet for DNS and resolves to the real mydomain (External). I am stumped just wondering if I have missed something on the setup of the HOSTS file or missing something else.
Side notes:
*I can ping the web server from the phone connected to wifi via terminal.
*Windows Server 2003 for Web Hosting.
*All computers on Domain, connect to Intranet Website just fine.

If you're connected to your internal WiFi network, your internal network's DNS server should resolve the IP. That's how it works on my phone: I ping a hostname while connected to WiFi, it resolves to the internal IP; I ping it while connected to Mobile Internet, it resolves to the external IP.
Also, make sure the file you're editing is /etc/hosts, not /etc/HOSTS. Case matters.

[Q] WiFi MAC Change after softreset

After a softreset my TP2 change the WiFi-MAC-Adress. It makes problems in many limited and secure networks. Here my versions:
Radio: ATT Radio Rhodium 4.49.25.95
ROM: Micro (without Manila) 2.08.72.1 (84354) GER
I'm think it is not a issue in ROM or Radios because there are many other users with same problems. They all have different radios and roms.
Where storage the WLAN-MAC? What kind of software seems to build a new WiFi-MAC?
Is there a workaround to overwrite the WiFi-MAC like do's on NIC-MAC in personal computers?
Kind Regrads, WR.

are you sure that you are not talking about the IP address instead ?
because a mac address is a unique reference normally that is link to the device ??? And cannot be change just by a soft reset...

Hi hanackin,
yes I mean the MAC-address. I can see in the network settings on my home router. A lot of pears from (name, IP, MAC) from my mobile device. The explain: the router give my device (after a reset) a new IP because the device is never known anytime before - new MAC-address. So I can not set a important option in WiFi-settings "allow no new devices". Also in some other networks i can not use if the admin check my MAC from the first registration.
Please read this: [http: / / ] forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=777753
I'm think a MAC can be corrupt or a error on storage. Do you know how write back the MAC from the device tape?

[Q] wifi adhoc "obtaining ip address"

Hi friends
Searched the forum and tried the proposed solutions but nothing helped.
I'm trying connect to addhoc wifi on my desire HD os=2.2
I replaced the wpa_supplicant file with one of those that exists on the forum and
indeed now i see adhoc networks but the connection is not stable - it goes like connecting -> obtaining ip address -> connected -> disconnected
and so on in loop ... i verified that the ip is static and i even put gateway+mask+dns.
when trying to ping the target it even sometimes succeeds!
Tried with several different adhoc targets and tried both wpa_supplicant for ver 0.5 & ver 0.6
Please does someone can help ?
thanks

My phone is samsung galaxy GT - I 5503. I do too and obtainging IP address...
This question not yet solved

I have the same issue with my sgs2. I get no connection ever, only a constant "Obtaining IP address.."
I'd suggest resetting your router and forgetting the network and trying to reconnect. Also a static IP might work but as for finding any of your provider's info, that's up to you. Unfortunately, XDA doesn't even recognize my network (Sasktel) so I am having a very tough time with this!

most probably firewall problem , i had same problem with hotspot doing exactly as you discribe.
it can also happen by some custom Roms and don't happen with others ( firewall disabled ) .
Also lot of sense Roms have an issue with that exact wifi problem , not like AOSP Roms ,i don't know why

I only had this problem with a network called; 'eduroam', my schools' network. I solved it by recotting & changing the network security TLS/TTLS/EAP or somethinf like that.

[Q] I9195 - Unable to connect to WIFI network (Authentication error occurred);

So, here it goes.
My goal is to connect to a network using certain MAC address. Wanted network is marked with "open" and I know that it allows access only to certain devices (according to MAC) on which the administrator have gave a permission to. Once your MAC passes the verification, device gets connected to the network and then I'm asked to enter username and password through WEB browser (well known for me, because it is a procedure that I do on my other device, as well as all my colleagues do).
For example, I was allowed to provide one personal MAC address to administrator to connect to this network. I would like to set the MAC address of my other personal device and set it on my I9195 so that I can access the same network.
So, what have I done so far: I9195 is rooted, it has Android 4.2.2 on it and Busybox installed. I have changed MAC on it using following apps: MacChanger (blue WIFI logo), MAC Address Ghost (green ghost logo), using Android Terminal Emulator commands and via MAC Spoofer (black circle with green text logo). What can I conclude: As soon as superuser has granted the access to these apps, all of them manage to change the MAC. I've done the verification using Terminal Emulator. I also have to add that the MAC remains original if viewed from WIFI advanced menu BUT this shouldn't be an issue because:
1.) Colleague of mine is using his S4 (rooted etc.), while using MAC Address Ghost that does not change the original address (viewed from WIFI advanced menu) but he manages to make a spoof (verified from the Android Terminal Emulator, as all of this apps actually do) and he manages to connect without any problems in the same way as I connect with another device that I have!
2.) I had time to make a small test at home which put a light on the idea that the problem should be focused on the Samsung (and not on the router, especially because I am unable to modify anything on the router on this facility, not even restarting it). My home network works in a similar way as the network that we are discussing about. My S4 Mini has been included in it with his original MAC and it connects to the network without any problems. My other device is also included to the network using its MAC (the one that I am using for spoofing). My other device is turned OFF, router has been reset and I am normally accessing the network with S4 Mini. Then I run the MAC Address Ghost to spoof the MAC on my S4 Mini. In that moment, I have lost the connection that I had which means that the MAC spoofer actually did something. I tried to reconnect to the network but then I am asked to enter the password for my network. I have checked and re-checked it many times, tried to forget the network and doing it all over again but it does not accept the CORRECT password. Changing my MAC back to the original one connects S4 Mini back to the network, while accepting the password immediately.
Problem is represented in a way that it either says “saved” and does not connect to the network or every few times displays a message “Authentication error occurred”.
I have tried I would say every possibility that I’ve seen over the internet. That includes:
1.) Installing WiFi Connection Manager (it provided some info regarding the network that I wish to connect to: IEEE 802.11g standard, 54 Mb link and CH:11). I’ve used its function to fix the WIFI (advanced fix (root required)) but it didn’t help.
2.) All sorts of staying close to the rooter, while enabling and disabling the Power save mode (accessed via *#0011# command) or while having GSM signal.
3.) Browsing through system, data etc. folders to try to find the file that contains the MAC address information (like it did on older android versions in the nvram file). I’ve been unable to find this file or any sort of file that displays my MAC for the purpose to modify it.
I have a plan to upgrade Android to version 4.4.2 later today and make a test.
Please, feel free to suggest anything else! If I do not succeed, I will have to replace my S4 Mini with something else.
Kind regards,

QUICK REPLY: After installing CyanoGEN MOD 4.4.2, the problem remains!
I think there could be a shorter solution! On Sony Xperia Acro S with 4.1.2 Android it was just a matter of changing the MAC address within the file data/etc/wifi/fw! One minute modification...
So, please, if somebody knows the path to the file that contains MAC on CyanoGEN MOD 4.4.2 or on Android 4.2.2, PLEASE HELP!
Kind regards!
