[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,

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!

Hi, great App and it suits my need perfectly! Almost...
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!
Thanks

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.
And i will try out the file you posted...

[Q] Change device id for wifi?

My wife and I both have evo's. When at home on wifi my netgear wgr614v7 router seems to have issues connecting both properly. It seems to be a device name problem. Both phones have the same name, different mac addresses but the router us giving them both the same ip address. I have setup static routes to each phone, which helps get different ip's, but I'm still having connection problems with one phone when both are being used.
Is there a way to change the name that my evo broadcasts to my router?
Hers is stock and I am using Fresh's rom.

They will anyway get different IP's (I'm talking about private IP 192.168.*.*), for device id maybe someone can edit that in .wireless tether .apk for you because as far I can see that part is kind of integrated and hidden inside.

I am not using the tether function. The static route I setup ensures that every time my evo with it's mac address ending in :d2 always gets 192.168.0.6, Heather's phone is always .3.
Thanks for your input, but I don't think you understood what I was asking.

I'm thinking you could change the device name in the build.prop in the system folder.

Ahhah, thank you sir, I will look into that.
Edit: after looking threw build.prop I could not find the device id. Which is a bummer. I finally talked my wife out of her iphone and she is now a bit pissy about not being able to use the internet at the same time. No 3 or 4g service at the house either. We have to use an airrave to talk on the phone.

What's the device name in your router?
Also, FWIW, your router shouldn't have any problems with two different MAC addresses connecting. DHCP ID is irrelevant. It sounds more like your problem is a bad router, you're on the edge of its range, or there's something deeper wrong (ie, some other piece of network hardware). As far as I know, you can't change the DHCP Client ID on the phone. It's always been android_(sting of letters/numbers) for me, and it correlates with the Exchange device ID (if you use an Exchange account).

That is the id that shows up. I am thinking the router needs to go. I cannot live without any of the devices that I have connected to it. I do appreciate your insight.

Heh, you good sir are in luck:

CyanogenMod 7 ('unno about 6) just got a feature to let you change the DHCP client ID.

MAC Address Changing with every Reset?

Just updated my HD7 to the update with internet sharing. After this, I can confirm that every time I reboot my phone, I get a new mac address. Which prevents me from connecting to my MAC-address-filtered wifi. I've done it 6 times and gotten 6 unique MAC addresses.
Does this happen to anyone else's phone? HD7 specific? or all phones with internet sharing? My internet sharing is turned off.

That's strange, I've never heard of a device with a dynamic MAC address before. Does your phone have one printed under the battery?

Nope, just IMEI, SN and PN. No MAC address.
This must be related in internet sharing somehow.

I can confirm this on my HD7.
MAC changes on every reboot.

I confirm too,i have the issue of mac adress changing every reboot
& my wifi is not visible since the update,My wifi is N and i can only see wifi G near me but not mine

hi
for me too : mac adress change after shutdown.
for time don't shutdown the phone to have same mac adress with my internet box.
htc support tell me that they will answer on monday.
but i think it's a big problem with this update...
Ben

That's a bit strange. Normally you can't change MAC's for yourself, only spoofing is possible. If WP is really changing the MAC adress with every reboot, WP needs a valid MAC adress block licensed from IEEE, otherwise it would be a violation against IEEE.

I thought mac address we're never aloud to change!?

Lol that's illegal as all hell, a dynamic mac address

Gotta be a glitch in the firmware surely? No way that's allowed. Your definitely sure it's not a dynamic IP address you're seeing?
Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express

ive also asked this question a couple of days ago right after applying the htc internet sharing update. and ive posted my question here (entry #38) and people provided good answers about it. hope this helps

Yes, mine also changes it's only when i read this thread and test my hd7 and i notice the changes.But I S is a breeze.

The issue is that some people assign static IPs to devices on their home networks, and this is done in most routers via MAC address coupling (MAC a always gets IP z and so forth). That way you can simply block all devices you and people in the residence do not own. I do it on all my machines for development reasons, cause I like knowing I can always use x IP address to get at a certain machine even if I turn it off or it's down for a while for repairs. The IP never changes as long as I continue to use that specific network card in the computer.
I don't know why they would do that. Perhaps for security reasons?

I have the same problem - cannot connect to my University WiFi network as the MAC address keeps on changing....
This is crazy!

They better get on that quick! They could get in a lot of **** for that

putting aside the weird WP7 behaviour for the moment...
MAC filtering is useless as a security measure. It's trivially spoofable by anyone who actually wants to attack your network, and causes a pain in the arse for yourself. do yourself a favour and disable it already. the only thing it might be good for is router-side internet access control of your technically challenged 8 year old who doesn't know how to use google.
just use a strong password i.e. 20+ characters alpha (upper & lower) + numeric + special characters, and proper wireless security (WPA-2 AES, or at least WPA AES) and you'll be just fine.

Confirming
That update was a bag full of $$$$ !Luckly I was able to restore through Zune,but my Bootloader (SPL) was also updated to 5.01 and no way of going back!

With regards to the missing WiFi network - make sure it's not using Channel 13. The new update seems to disable the use of Channel 13 for some reason.
There is also another issue with the changing MAC's - I believe that some "public" WiFi networks such as the cloud use the MAC to remember your device and allow it to connect...

Mac filtering is not useless as a security measure. It's not used by itself. It's used in conjunction with other methods, the same way businesses also hide their wireless network's SSID.
I'm not filtering on an Open Connection. That would be retarded.
Seriously...

im not sure though but im guessing so does other apps with secured log in parameters. i do have the bank of america app. right after i did the update, and after inluding the new mac to my networks allowed list of mac addresses, the boa app again posted a message saying that the device where im accessing boa has not been used previously to access the account. so im guessing that it saves all the mac addresses of devices that accessed a boa account.

Galaxy W Wifi Drop Problem...

Hi everyone,
I'm using Galaxy W with stock ROM (XXLA2/rooted) and ZyXel (P-660HW-T1 v3) wireless router. I can connect and use wireless home network for a period of time but after a while WiFi drops and then reconnects. This repeats continuously...
I've tried switching WPA2 to WPA also tried using MAC filter only (without WiFi pass), but all of them were useless... Changing from dynamic to static IP also did not worked
I tried a couple of Market apps to fix WiFi issue, but they did not help me either...
Do u have any idea what may cause my WiFi drop problem?
I need your help...
Thanks...

Have you the latest firmaware on your Zyxel?
And is your phone only having problems with this router or all access points? (just to determe the problem eg your phone or your router)
Edit: Try to set the "ReAuthentication" setting higher (9000), i think that solves your problem!

Yes my ZyXel firmware is up to date.
I could not have chance to test my phone with other access points
By the way where can I find the "ReAuthentication Setting" ?

Don't know .... i did read your user manual, but didnt pay attention where this settings is....
You have to try to find it yourself

Ok, i found it and set to 9999 max value
I'm testing it, i hope i do not get any more drop
Thanks for your interest...

Well you can get a drop, but its only every 2.7 hour, if thats not ok, you could try to set it to 0 maybe then re authentication is fully off.

Setting the value to 0 sounds good Then it will become something like WEP i think...
Anyway I'll try also this...
Thanks...

please don't use wep keys as they are awful weak
stay with wpa or wpa2

Actually I do not wanna use WEP but since it is static maybe it will help me get a more stable wireless connection. And when i tried WEP for the first time, I noticed signal quality got a abit stronger Is it logical or strange?
I know WPA/WPA2 is more safe but I wonder if using WEP with MAC filter is equivalent to WPA in terms of security issue?

It isn't. Have a read about the differences:
WEP used a 40-bit or 128-bit encryption key that must be manually entered on wireless access points and devices and does not change. TKIP employs a per-packet key, meaning that it dynamically generates a new 128-bit key for each packet and thus prevents the types of attacks that compromised WEP.[3]

(From the Wikipedia Wi-Fi_Protected_Access page - I can't paste the link as I'm a new forum user)

I see...
I'd better keep using WPA/WPA2.
Thanks for the explanation...

MAC filter security is the best, and even much better than WPA or WPA2!
The advantage is that MAC id's are like a footprint for a network card, like a DNA.
The disadvantage is that every device you want to add you have to do it manually.
Good luck!

my phone does drop wifi sometimes too.

Sorry dude, but i can't let you say such a thing.
MAC filter can improve security with encryption but cannot replace WPA/WPA2.
I can crack your mac filtering with WEP security within 10 minutes or less. Just sniffing promiscious packets from your router and identifying your network device MAC address.
Many tools exist to easy change any MAC address from network devices. So no, mac address is not a DNA, because it can be changed easily.
So, the best is still WPA2 Entreprise (but it needs Radius Server) or WPA2 personnal with AES encryption. And MAC filtering is good idea, but not alone !.

Thanx mate.....I was just gonna post a link about MAC spoofing and how insecure MAC filtering is.
Here it is anyway:

Your modem is the DHCP server, so that is what should be assigning an IP, not windows or andriod. If you cant hit your gateway (which should be your modem BTW), changing your IP wont fix your issue. Youve got a disconnect somewhere.
That said, first you need the subnet of your DHCP pool. Something like 192.168.1.100-200. That info is in your router/modem. Then, just manually change the IP of your phone to an IP in that subnet.

You are absolutely right. but I can hit my gateway. I mostly have a problem with the dhcp assigning wrong IPs and I still cant sort it out. But am assigning the clients manually to different IP in my subnet and everything works fine

I would suspect that the repeater is handing out IP's as well. I believe what you are looking for is a repeater bridge which would connects wireless a to wireless a but b doesn't do any routing just passes it along to a. Here's a picture.
