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!
wifi and drayteck router

Since installing Froyo on my Desire, I can not connect to my local wireless router (Belkin N1 Wireless router) when using a dynamic IP address. Previously (on eclair) this was no problem what so ever.
When I try connecting, it keeps saying it's trying to aqcuire an IP address, but nothing happens.
When I check the routers overview of connected devices (DHCP client list), I see this:
ip address: 192.168.2.4
host name: android_f07d6a45ÿÿÿÿþÿÿÿ (yup, strange characters)
I tried connecting to my macbook via WIFI, and that worked without a hitch.
After restoring factory settings on my Desire, factory settings on the router, installing newest router firmware... I tried again, but to no avail!
Then I gave the Desire a static IP address and presto; I could connect to my wireless router without a problem.
In conclusion:
Before Froyo: connecting to wireless router with dynamic IP addresses = no problem
With Froyo: can only connect to router with static IP and Desire's hostname contains strange characters
Most other wifi networks seems to work.
Anyone else having similair problems? Is the Desire's strange hostname the problem?
This was a problem for me with Eclair too, and yes I'm still experience it, the only solution I found before was "wifi-fixer" or what ever the app was called (it's found via the market). But it did not work all the time... :-(
Update: I can connect to Dynamic-IPs without noticing any strange Chars. But its the "unable to..." that's similar to your's.
static IP won't help
I'm a little frustrated becouse even static IP is not helping
can you tell me how your exact PHONE config's are?
like gateway dns and so on,..

These settings should be different from router to router
I can give you mine, but I doubt it will help you:
IP: 192.168.2.4
Gateway: 192.168.2.1
Subnetmask: 255.255.255.0
DNS 1: 192.168.2.1
DNS 2: BLANK
Depening on your router and settings, you might have to change the ".2." in all of these to ".0."
The "4" in the IP address is also free for you to chose (must be available though)
Guys,
I recently came across connectify app and installed it on my Windows 7 laptop. It installed just fine and created a WIFI Hotspot for me.
But when I try to connect to that WIFI Hotspot from my desire , it keeps saying "Obtaining IP Address from Connectify" and never connects. I am not sure what's wrong , something in my Desire or something with Connectify or if I need to fix some settings in my Win7 laptop ?
Can someone please advise.
FYI - Windows 7 is connected to a my workplace LAN and requires a proxy authentication if i need to access internet.
Thanks in advance;
Even I'm facing problems connecting to Connectify.
I suspect that IP address is not getting assigned since there are no DHCP servers running on the PC. That might be the first problem
Second thing is, even if I run a dhcp server (I'm yet to do it...) in my PC, I think the wifi and ethernet might be on the same or different network based on how the dhcp server is configured. But setting Default Gateway and DNS settings are whats getting me confused.
If I can find some Idle time, i can experiment and try it.. If anyone is already using it successfully, they can post on how to do it here.. will be very helpful.
My laptop is connected to my ADSL modem via ethernet cable, and I'm connecting the mobile to my Laptop's wifi (Via connectify which makes the WLAN in laptop appear as an Access point). This connectify should share the wired internet to my mobile via Wlan but i'm have not yet found how to set it up..
old post i know, but i wanted to chime in and let these people know that the latest beta fixes these problems. at least it now works for me on my eris

I have the same problem with Connectify 2.0.1.15550, what version are you using?
I found the 2.1 beta, all working now. Thanks.
I had the same problem with connectify and I sincerely suggest you to try Virtual Router. It's crappy but it works.
You can get it here:
http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com/releases/view/36035
Good luck!
I had the same issues and can confirm that virtual router works straight away!

About proxy, that's a whole other story. Still messing with Transproxy, but no success yet.
Hey. I tried Connectify put I got the 'obtaining IP address' problem.
So I tried Virtual Router ... but again I have having problems 'obtaining IP'.
I am trying to connect my Samsung Galaxy S to my Windows 7 Laptop.
Help me...
Thanks guys

Connectify`s main usage is to share the wired broadband to the mobile using wifi in laptop as a hotspot. It should be fairly straightforward but needs to set some settings correctly. It would be great if someone for whom its working to post it setp-by-step. Will be really helpful.
And strangely there are no guides on the net on how to set it up exactly in wondows 7 and connectify homepage does not give any useful info.
I keep getting "obtaining IP address from..." on my Android device...
why is this?
Virtual Router or connectify don't work..
is it because android does not support Ad-Hoc?
I have running Froyo 2.2 though...
Any help?
Thanks
Hi,
I don't know if it's really the same problem here but I also had some issues with Windows 7, connectify and the devices I tried to connect.
After following the steps to create a wifi hotspot, I had to deactivate the windows firewall on the private networks (I specified to windows that the connectify network was a private network).
There should be a way to setup the correct permission in the firewall's permission table to make it work properly... Unfortunatly I haven't find it yet.
So it's a quick fix. Hope it will help you.

Hi guys,
Am new to this forum and new to smartphones.
i faced the same problem in connecting my Wildfire to PC with connectify.
finally i got my own way to sort it out
as most of u got till "obtaining IP address" next is
menu>settings>wireless and networks> wifi settings.
in that again menu>Advanced .
fill these settings
1. check on the static IP
2. IP addres = 192.168.2.2
3. Gateway = 192.168.2.1
4. netmask = 255.255.255.0
5. dsn1 = 8.8.8.8
6. dsn2 = 8.8.4.4
now close wifi and restare wifi Hope it will work. It worked for me

You need this file for the Desire - search around XDA. You might have to download version 6 of the file.
When you download it, flash it from recovery.
Meanwhile, create an adhoc network on your laptop or wherever, configure the IP address (192.168.137.1 is the IP of the laptop - Windows, for some reason or another, doesn't like sharing on other IPs, though I haven't tried lately) and set your encryption to WEP.
Share your connection from LAN, and you're good to go. On the phone, the adhoc networks will be represented with an asterisk, like
(*)network
none of them work on win 7 64 bit - on win 7 32 bit I cen get IP, on 64 bit cant, whan assigned static IP by below at previous posts, I can connect, but internet does not work.

i came here from google as well. i had the obtaining ip address issue with connectify on win xp and zte blade with cyanogenmod (N142). thanks to this post, i solved the obtaining ip issue, and my phone managed to connect to connectify. apparently: my phone doesn't appear in clients tab in connectify, and my phone doesn't transfer any data traffic. so from the phone it looks like connected, but from connectify no.
edit: i found out that i succesfully connect to connectify with my smartphone only the first time i try (because it worked the very first time i used connectify and the first time i tried again after a complete reset of my phone). then, if i disconnect/reconnect, i find the "obtaining IP"/"no data traffic" issues. of course, resetting my phone each time i want to use my laptop's wifi isn't very handy..

same here, couldnt believe my luck when it worked first time with my HD2 and galaxy.

anyone throw some light on this???????
Guys I am in over my head here, I've watched way too many YouTube videos and guides and I still cant get this.
I have 2 galaxy nexus phones and I am trying to leave one at home running the app IP webcam and taking video. That phone will be connected to my WiFi network at home. Then I am trying to use my other nexus phone running Tinycam Monitor and connected to Verizon's 4g network, to connect to that phone and stream me live video from home.
Now basically I am looking for someone who has set this up correctly or who could help talk me through this.
I have set up a static ip address
I went to my linksys routers web address and tried to port-forward ports 8080 and 80 which are the ones I need
Its not working though and it keeps saying failed connection on the phone. I think I am just typing in something wrong or missing a step.
Can anyone try and help me through this?

Where are you talking about? You mean when I am forwarding the port on the linksys web interface? It asks me for the internal and external port (which I am typing in 8080) and then it asks for the "to ip address"
I am really unsure of what to put in the "To IP address" field. It shows my ip address but leaves blank the last few digits. Am I supposed to get that information from the phone from which I will be viewing the video?

Thanks for the reply, but I am still a little confused on what you are trying to say.
When I start up IP webcam it begins the video and it gives me an ip address and port number to connect to it. (this phone is on home wifi)
When I type those detail in tinycam monitor on my other phone (connected to verizon network), I add a new camera, set it to IP webcam for android, type the the previous ip hostname and port but it always fails to connect
I understand I need to portforward the port I am using to allow it to connect but I dont think I am doing that correctly
Make sure you port forward on your router to allow the connection.

What happens if you turn on Wifi on your phone? Does it work then? You need the public domain IP address where your DVR is connected. I have the info. at home. I'll grab it tomorrow in case you still need the info.

Yeah handle223 that is the step where I believe that I am messing up at. I followed a guide that said I need to port forward 8080 and 80 ports so I tried to do that. I'm just not sure what to enter into the "to ip address" field on linksys website. Am I supposed to put my computers ip or something from either of the phones?

Essentially, what you need to do is:
1. Set your home phone up with a static IP address. You can normally do this by connecting your phone to wifi, and then going to the control interface for your router and fixing the IP address to that device (look under DHCP settings).
2. Forward an external port (e.g. 8080) of your static home IP address to the http port (80) on the IP address you just assigned permanently to your home phone. This will be under port forwarding in your router interface. The internal port is the one the home phone tells you when you start the webcam program.
3. Contact your ISP and ensure that a) you have a static IP (if not, you can register a dynamic one at e.g. dyn.com, and get software which will update it periodically); and b) that port 8080 is not blocked at their end. You can check your home external IP address on your router page, or if you cbf, go to ip4.me in a web browser and it will tell you.
4. With your external phone, with the wifi off, set your viewer up so that it looks for your router's external IP address and port 8080.
NOTE:
This is not a particularly sophisticated way of setting this up. Please consider the possibility that a technologically competent thief could use this as a way of casing your joint so they can rob you while you're out. Please at least a) ensure you have a strong password on your camera; and b) consider using a non-standard port rather than 8080 as your external port.
The more sophisticated way of doing this involves being able to ssh into your home network using e.g. PuTTY, and using this connection to do tunneling. I run an SSH server on my nexus sometimes (though I don't use it for this purpose), so it is definitely possible for this to be your phone. You can then remote into your home network and then use the camera client as if you were connected via wifi at home. Sing out if you'd like a hand setting up SSH, as it's actually not as hard as it sounds.

To the OP, This is what you have to do. Everything is set up correctly on the phone is what it seems like but without a static IP from your internet service provider you're going to run into issues again the minute it changes it's IP address.
You'll have to connect to your router from the outside world (The internet) via the address that shows up in your router page under status. from there you connect to the port you specified with port forwarding and it'll connect to your phone from anywhere you're located outside of your home wifi.

Yes! That was extremely helpful and thanks for describing it in detail.
It took me about 20 minutes but now it is working perfectly and I am able to stream live video from wherever I wish. (It is working better than I thought on 4g also)
I had to create a static id for my home mobile phone and that was under DHCP settings like you said. That allowed me to properly open up the ports
Thanks for the help everyone and I'm glad I didn't give up because this is pretty sweet, and also I do understand the risks.
On a side note, what kind of strain would this put on my extra nexus if I was running IP webcam 24/7? (while plugged in of course) Guess I will find out

Hi..
is it possible to do this with two mobile phones and without a static ip using mobile network only? somehow sending video signal to some free host using mobile internet?
like one phone stays at home connected to mobile internet as ip camera.. and with second I can watch the video from anywhere???
because when i create a local network with one and connect to it with other then all this works great...
OLD post i know but i figured id post in here just in case you guys are still around.
I have a S4 ( i don't think this matters)
But just like the OP. I have these 2 apps . The stream works fine in house (both on my wifi) but i cannot figure out how to get it connected off of wifi. the monitoring phone i am trying to use i turned the wifi off to use the 4glte but it just wont connect. I do have ports 8080 and 80 forwarded.
But what IP and port do i use the the connecting phones settings? the 192..... one is internal and works in the wifi but i tried that one and the external ip.... any ideas?
(the external IP i am using is the one from googling "whats my ip" inside the cams phone web browser so its the ip from the phone not pc)
At some points in your life, one of your Android devices connect to a wifi router, but can't connect to the internet. However, your computer, laptop or iPad will connect to that same wifi and use the internet just fine. I've looked everywhere on the internet for solutions, some of them are:
+ Turn off and on both modem and wifi router
+ Factory reset wifi router
+ Battery pull your phone, wait 30s and put it back
+ Reflash stock or custom ROM
+ Change DHCP IP setting to Static
+ Disable security (WEP, WPA) on wifi router
+ Check DNS server, gateway IP address for correctness
Fortunately, I stumbled upon this old thread last night -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371794
It helped fix the internet connection temporarily, turning off and on wifi on phone caused the issue to repeat.
In summary, he found out the correct MAC address for gateway was mismatched with the one on his phone. Even though the gateway IP address is correct (example: default gateway IP 192.168.1.1)
Upon further investigations, I found out my Wifi ROUTER has the same IP address with my MODEM (192.168.1.1) This IP conflict causes the phone to recognized the WIFI ROUTER's MAC address as the gateway's MAC address. This problem mostly occurs on Android phone, not computer (I'm no tech savvy so I have no idea why)
Simple fix: Go to wifi router setting page, change the IP address on wifi router to different number (other than default 192.168.1.1), and the problem should be fixed.
Please help spread the words to fellow Android lovers, I'm sure a lot of us have struggled with this problem :laugh:
I'm one guy who is desperately looking for a solution to this.
Unfortunately the solution you gave didn't work.

"In the wifi networks, select the network you want and select ‘Forget network’
Turn off the wifi
kill all the apps with your task manager
Turn on the wifi again
Connect to the network
Check the internet connectivity
If still the problem exist, switch off the phone and redo the above steps"
it solves the problem, but it happens again after some minutes. actually, i also installed an app named "wifi fixer" which does the above process automatically. when the program is active, it turns the wifi off and on every 2-3 minutes. and the phone has internet access when the program tuns the wifi on.
any idea?
Turn off wifi optimization on some android phones help.

Had the same problem for several months. Changed my router and everything became prefect.

2 years after the last reply I am having the same problem. My wife and kids all have internet access on their phones, tablets, desktop and laptops all from the same modem router yet I am unable to use the internet on my Galaxy S2 mobile phone even though my phone says connected to Wi-Fi Network Netgear 06.
The Mac address solution provided isn't applicable to my situation as my Mac address on my mobile is different to my modem router Mac address.
Any other solution?
