Wi-Fi security issue - IMPORTANT! please help

As a wifier with a pda2k , how does one know if he has been discovered by the network owner and in addition , where he has gone , not to mention the pda's security . My files can't be looked at can they? I need serious security assistance . My personal data may have allready been compromised! Damn .
Thank you.
(I'll just wait here on a secure network till I can secure my 'lil unit

Treat your PPC as if it were a portable computer running on celeron. As of the moment I can only recall maybe 4 known viri for Windows Mobile. If you are an avid WiFi'er as I am, try to browse your unit from your desptop pc without activesync activated. You might want to port scan the PPC as well. I run an FTP and web server on my unit (for my own purposes), and I have never had any files compromised unless I allow it. If you are really that peranoid, encrypt the files you don't want read without your permission.

Well I'm a Mac guy so browsing on a desktop won't happen. I just need to be able to surf annomously and not have the network owner view me or my files.

The netwqork admin will always know you are using the router because the wifi router assigns you an IP address. No getting around that. But it will be highly unlikely that he can access your unit resources unless you have a backdoor trojan running on your unit. If you don't know, google up "antivirus scanner for pocket pc", and install it.

Hey MACGUY have you seen PocketMAC? It could be useful!
SORRY i didnt mean to hijack your thread!
NOMADMAN - you said your are a wifi junky - How do I surf the net from my MDA3 using WIFI.

Thanks . I installed the viri scanner and found nothing. It maybe that the open AP is being tapped by someone else as well as me , explaining the third MAC address. Can this be possible? It's a ff.ff.ff.ff.ff

Turn any windows mobile into WIFI router

This application lets you use your phone as WIFI router without setting up anything in device. Let me if you guys like it.

This application has its own thread here on XDA-Developers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357152. Don't really see the point of you posting the CAB here.. without all the information needed.

Well this message, in the wrong place, introduced me to your excellent application!
thank you

How do you turn off this wifirouter?? i got it working and works fine although i cant get my archos gen 5 to pick it up but i tuned it off but my computer still picks it up although it cnt connect to it

the app is connected but i am not connected to the internet on my laptop...any answers? i tried resetting a bunch of times

is it the trial version or the real thing? is there a free way of doing it.. does it work for windows 5

infrastructure mode?
is there a way to broadcast in infrastructure mode, instead of ad hoc? i would love to use a zune hd with this, but it is not able to see ad hoc networks. thanks.

???
the SSID is not showing up in my computer. All others (mine and my neighbors wireless connections) are showing up.

How to get my playstation 3 2 work with this router
Hi i am so damn frusterated right now with this. How do i get my ps3 to work with this router thing. My computer connects to it and recieves wifi. But when i try to find it with my ps3 it wont detect it. Does any one know how do i get this 2 work.

try this
1. connect ur trinity to ur laptop / pc via USB and run "internet sharing" on your trinity.
2. Set up an Ad-Hoc connection on your PC / Laptop and directly connect ur PS3 to it.
3. In network settings on your PC / Laptop click the ad-hoc connection icon and the windows mobile based device icon (Ctrl-Left click each one) right click one of them when their both selected and click on bridge connection from the drop down menu.
this method's a bit of a potch to set up but once its running it works perfectly and you only have to set it up once. it also lets you use the internet on your pc and ps3 at the same time.

I'm pretty late to this and NEW (newbie), but I wanted to make a quick post about it's use on my Imagio winmo 6.5 OS 5.2.21... no mods, no roms burned and this works perfectly. Now I can surf at work without the assistance of our helpful IT friends LOL.

Your laptop or pc picks up adhoc signals aswell as infrastructure, to be quiet honest, this app is very useless when advertised as a router, doesn't route anything if just limited to adhoc, adhoc = computer to computer connections, not a router to me at all! Its a very nice app for many other things though.. I see someone giving you instructions for 'ICS' doing all that just makes it all pointless and you may aswell just get a home router connected to house line!

This is one of my favourite apps. I've been using it for a long time now and just awesome.

Really love this app. Only problem is that it worked great the first time I launched it. Now it can't connect. It just keeps on cycling trying to connect to att gprs and finally says "the remote party has ended this connection". Any ideas?

It sounds like possibly your connection settings have been erased. Can you get internet in Explorer, etc? If so, please disregard this...

how do i load it in my phone

thanks for the share , can you explain how the procedure works , I want to create applications like these but still don't understand their concept

Closing as this is a duplicate thread for this one:

[Q] Cannot connect to server apps running on phone from PC

In the past, I used to be able to connect to an FTP server app (named FTPServer) running on my Desire in order to read and write files to the SD card without having to connect it using the USB cable.
Lately, however, I have been unable to connect to the device. This also seems to extend to other server apps, like the Samba Fileshare app. I am not even able to ping the phone, though I am not sure if this ever actually worked.
My phone is rooted and running the T-Mod InsertCoin ROM v1.9.1. My friend has a stock, unrooted Desire and is experiencing the same problem. Both phones are A8183 Telstra HTC Desires.
On my phone, if I telnet to the FTP server app from the phone's terminal, I am able to connect.
I get this problem both at work and at home.

You can try use something called QtADB. Is more or less the same thing. Does require root access though.
As to your problem, if you can't ping it then either a change of network address or something is blocking it or it's not on your network. Either way, there isn't any communication there. Try rebooting your router or something.

Thanks for the response. I'll try rebooting my router and DNS server when I get home, but obviously I can't do either at work.
QtADB looks really useful, but unfortunately that does not work either. I should mention I already tried adbWireless as well with no success.

file browsing
If you have a bluetooth program on your pc that can browse devices, go to bluetooth settings then advanced tick enable ftp server and you will be able to browse the desire add and delete files through the bluetooth.
It works on a mac so it should work ok with the correct software on a windows pc

Not a bad idea. Unfortunately, my main PC doesn't have bluetooth, and nor does my work one.
Fortunately, I seem to have discovered a work-around. When I run Overlook Fing (a network scanning app), somehow the services on my phone become visible to other devices on the network.
I wouldn't call this question solved, since it's a bit of a bothersome solution really. But perhaps this information can help?
EDIT: It occurs to me that perhaps the radio I am using has something to do with this. I'm using 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17 since that is what InsertCoin recommends. Will try using a different one soon, after I find out what this involves exactly.

[Q] Samba Fileshare

Using Samba file share on my G tab, works like a dream.
On the HTC Incredible however a different story. My Winows Xp and 7 sees the phone but will not give me access.
Any suggestions?

Can't really help, only to say that I've used it with Mac OS X many times with no problems.

Same here. Samba works fine on my Eris and Nook. Different story on the Inc.
I can usually connect as soon as I turn on Samba. After the initial file transfer, I normally lose connectivity. If I remember correctly, I was able to regain access once after rebooting my pc. Even then it's only temporary.
I've google searched for answers to no avail. I haven't yet reached out to the developer.

I think I read somewhere it's about HTC devices blocking ip broadcast or something like that...I don't remember. (Sorry I know this thread it old, but just happen to come upon it.)

I just use File Expert from the market. Then you can tell it to enable web sharing and ftp sharing and then transfer things back and forth as needed.

Samba works for me using HTC Droid Incredible rooted S-off. Didn't have to do anything special either. I would suggest turning on all the wake locks in Samba's settings.

+1 works great for me. Been using it for like 6 months now.

I couldn't get it right to work on my dx, I forgot about the app. Thanks for the little reminder.

I do remember hearing about the block on ip broadcast. One workaround i think I remember is to connect to the ip address rather than the name, ie \\xx.xx.xx.xx.

Newer versions of samba have the ip broadcast / netbios name issue fixed. I can access my droid by its netbios name. However it does not show up on my pc under network, but i can type \\DINC or \\ip# into the address bar and access the phones files on the sd and emmc.

Works great for me to. Samba using Dinc and Windows 7 and Windows Vista computer. Setup was a breeze.

Swann Security Remote View, Home WiFi Works, Mobile Data Doesn't

Hello all!
Recently I've purchased the Swann DVR8-1425 security system.
I've been able to connect it to my home network successfully. I can remote view the cameras through my T999L (no root, completely stock) on WiFi through the SwannView app, but as soon as I put it into mobile data, it shows me a message of not being able to contact the server. I'm assuming if I were at someone elses house on their WiFi, it would be the same result. Same issue on my Dad's S2, rooted, running Infamous 3.0 in the T989 forums.
I've messed with most, if not all the settings I can possibly use with trial and error. When it comes down to it, obviously there's only the one setting that works with my WiFi (the given IP address from the DVR and a server port given: 9000) and it won't connect with mobile data whatsoever (2g, 4g, or LTE). I've tried using HTTP port 85 instead of the 9000, a preferred DNS server in place of the IP address, turning on and off UpNp (not really sure what that does). Absolutely nothing. Server connection fail each time when using mobile data.
I've disabled the firewall in hopes of it working, but I've had no luck. Haven't reset the router, assuming I just unplug and replug but other than that, I'm out of ideas. Not sure what else I can work on besides the firewall, if that even does anything.
The Swann software installed on my Mac does work, but haven't had a chance to test it somewhere other than my home network. It could work, but I wouldn't know at this point. Just more concentrated on the mobile data issue.
My knowledge is small when it comes to this networking stuff. Connecting to a WiFi hotspot is about as easy as it gets for me lol. I just got lucky with trial and error for setting it up with the home network. Just wondering if anyone has experience with this or ideas that may come to mind. At the worst, I won't be able to remote view anywhere other than using my wifi, but it will still record at least.
Thanks in advance!

^^^^^
Seems to me you should test the remote connection elsewhere before you start troubleshooting a problem thst may not even exist. If its not configured correctly to do what you want, its not going to work across the internet which would include the mobile data.
Make sure you can access what you want remotely, then test over mobile data. Unless I read that wrong it doesn't sound to me like you've done this. You can test the mobile data connection all you want, but if its not working remotely by any other means you will be wasting your time. (Unless you got lucky and configured it correctly, but as you said, youre not very experienced with this).
Until you verify it does work remotely, there's no reason to assume its your phone or T-Mobile that is the problem.
Tbh, I'd assume first it was a router config on your side. (Unplugging it doesn't reset its settings, and even if it did it may not be configured as needed by default.)
You'd probably find better support by going to the equipment website and router website.
Sorry I don't have the answer your looking for, but hopefully ill get you in the right direction.

After read this earlier, I facepalmed myself and went to go test this out. Drove over to Starbucks a few minutes ago, connected to their wifi through my phone and it didn't connect Hmm...definitely a router setting then. The dvr itself is connected to the router by an ethernet cable. Just a matter of figuring out how to configuring the router settings. Thanks!

Try bluestacks

Hey. I came across this page looking for a solution to a similar problem. My new swann system connects fine with my phone on Orange but wouldn't connect to my partners identical phone on Vodafone via mobile Internet. Both worked on wifi. I solved by asking Google for my ip address, then going onto the swannview link app, under my device is a button to edit, on the edit page where it has p2p if you tap the line it gives you another option to connect with ip, then enter your ip where it says host. Save details with icon in top right and log in. This solved my issue, hope it helps anyone with the same issue.

Fix
Hello..
I am also using Lorex wireless security camera for my home but till now I am not facing any issue because all configuration is performed by experts. But I have two fixes for your issue.
Either contact with Lorex Support Team for help or follow steps:
Check with your mobile data service provider to confirm if they allow streaming of constant information over their network.
Configure a lower substream video resolution in your DVR / NVR settings to reduce mobile data usage and increase your connection speed.
If you cannot connect to your cameras using an LTE or IPv6 connection, switch to a 3G connection.
If you are using a device ID through your mobile plan, set up a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) to eliminate the need to pass through the Stratus / FLIR Cloud servers.
Hope it helps!
