Public IP Address??

I am trying to run one of the many FTP servers available for Windows Mobile (vxFTPSrv or ShareIT FTP) to keep some files in sync but I can't seem to figure out what public IP address my phone has. vxFTPSrv says it is listening to a non-routable 10.**** while whatismy ip says it starts with a 200.**** while DynDNS for Windows Mobile says it is 32.****. Nevertheless, none of these work nor can I get these programs to listen to the ports. Any ideas? Does the Tilt even get a public IP address from AT&T? Thanks.

Try this
I'm no pro, but had to tell the Physical address to the the tech guy at my university so he could enable my phone o use the wireless network...
... anyways, download and install a Registry Editor (I use Task Manager v2.8) you should be able to access an Ipconfig tab, where all the information is available.
I don't know if I'm in the right track.... Hope this helps? =)

your pda have an ip address
using wifi router the uplink sees the routers ip
using an isp the internet sees the isp's assigned ip

Another good one I use is Iper Suite.

For casual use the first one is probably satisfactory.
IPer is worth buying for the increased functionality and has a TFTP client.

200.* would be a public IP. As would 32.*
Turn off your proxy setting in the phone and do the www.whatismyip.com thing. That will get you a more meaningfull result than anything else.
When I'm on GPRS/Edge (AT&T proxy settings in force) network I get a 66.102.186.15 IP address as reported by whatismyip.com. That resolves to alpmagr1fe06-dmz.mycingular.net. Which should be a att proxy server even tho it implies by its name its on a DMZ.
When I turn off the proxy for GPRS/Edge I get 166.195.188.15 according to whatismyip.com. That IP address will not respond to ICMP commands. So I assume it is firewalled. So it seems to me that yes you CAN and DO get a public IP address, its just that address is heavily firewalled.
You've piqued my interest, tho I cannot do anymore testing at this moment.

VPN client w/RSA token support?

Does anyone know of a VPN client that supports RSA token #'s? I've looked all over the place but can't seem to find anything.
Thanks for any help.

Maybe this? (VPN Connections)

I'm running Cyanogen 5.0.7, and I read all the post but did not see anywhere that is supports RSA tokens. I might still try it and see if it works. Thanks!

It says "Cisco VPN Client". I know that Cisco VPN supports RSA tokens, having used one for a long time.

Do you think it will still work on a N1, I see that the instructions are for the Desire?

Thanks to Jack_R1 I believe I have everything loaded correctly. Now could someone tell me where I can find my IPSec info on my computer? I'm not to familiar with the VPN stuff, but I have been working at this forever. I'm trying to do this on the low from my company since they said that they won't do it for me.
Any help would be great, thanks.

If you're using any proprietary sw to connect, look there in the connection properties to find the server IP. If not - look in Windows connection properties for VPN 'dialing' connection.

Our computers use Nortel Contivity, but I can't find the connection properties anywhere. I see the destination ip, and the assigned ip.
The IPSec gateway address should be what?
IPSec ID?
IPSec Secret?

bump for help!

Couldn't find anything and not familiar with Nortel SW..

"You will now be asked first for your Ubuntu password, and then the following VPN info: the IPSec gateway address (the hostname of the VPN router you want to connect to), the IPSec ID (aka group ID), IPSec secret (aka group password), username (your VPN username), and password (your password or the value of your SecurID or other token if you have one)."
I guess you need to ask your IT personnel for IPSect ID and secret. IPSec gateway you can find from settings:
http://www.it.ubc.ca/security/VPN/setupdocs/nortelcontivity.html
"Destination" field holds it.

I believe that I have all my settings correct but I'm still getting "failed to connect". I'm going to do a little more searching but if I can't get it I'm giving up, I have spent hours on this. Thanks for all your help Jack_R1.

I've just started trying to make this work also. Lex, did you ever find a solution?

Nope, I tried everything. Jack r1 was very helpful, but I just couldn't get it. I think my company's security is just too high to bypass and my lack of knowledge didn't help.

twc app. port forwarding

I copied and posted my original post via the nexus thread. i thought i'd repost it here since i'm guessing some of the other note users may have done this too. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Please note that I got the app to work with my stock rooted rom. Now i'm just trying to get it to work on any wifi network as opposed to just my home wifi network.

1. Install CopSSH for Windows from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sere...r.zip/download
2. Extract the .exe file from .zip file and run the setup. During the setup, you will be prompted for a username and password, make sure you specify this and make it something you can remember (you will need it later).
3. Activate a user by going to Start->All Programs->CopSSH->1. Activate a User. Select the user you just setup in step 2.
4. Type in and confirm a passphrase (make sure you remember this). Then click activate.
5. Now you need to allow an port exception through your Windows Firewall. Standard SSH port is port 22, so that's what I used. You can do this by going to your control panel, selecting Windows Firewall, and click "allow a program through Windows Firewall."
6. Select Add port...name it SSH and enter port 22.
7. Click change scope...and make sure the radio button that says "Any computer (including those on the Internet) is selected. Click OK.
8. Now we need to setup port-forwarding to your router. To do this you need to know how to access your router, your WAN IP address, and your LAN IP Address assigned by your router.
9. To find out your LAN IP address, open a command prompt and type in "ipconfig -all". Typically, it will begin with 192.168 unless you have modified your LAN settings. To find your WAN IP address settings, google "what is my IP address?" There are a number of sites that can tell you that.
10. To access your router, you need to find it's IP address, which is usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1; you will know by entering one of those addresses in your browser and it will prompt you for your login info. If you don't know your user name and password, I can't help you there but Google may be able to (try to look-up the default username and password for your router model).
11. Once logged in, find your "virtual server" or "port forwarding" settings, specify port 22 - 22 for the start and end range, and route it to the LAN IP address you found in step 9. Save your settings and exit your browser.
12. If you've made it this far, your SSH service and port forwarding settings are done; now you just need to log into it. Download SSH Tunnel from the Google Play Store.
13. When you open it up, it will ask you for a number of settings. I have listed them below and what you need to enter in each textbox:
- Host Name: Enter your WAN IP address that you discovered in step 9.
- Port: Enter "22"
- Username: Enter your username you specified in CopSSH
- Password: Enter your password you specified in CopSSH
14. Make sure the following options are checked:
- Use socks proxy
- Global proxy
15. That's it! Now scroll to the top of the app and check the first checkbox labeled "tunnel switch" and it should connect you.
Please keep in mind that you need to be logged into a wifi connection, but it doesn't have to be your home wifi connection!
DON'T forget the thanks button!
Lkrfn5283:Thank you for this post. I'm unsure what i'm doing wrong but i went over the instructions and made sure i did everything correctly, but it keeps saying "error: cannot connect to host" I'm using a tmobile galaxy note with a stock rooted ics rom. This write up should apply to any phone with an ics based rooted rom correct? any help would greatly be appreciated as i'm completely lost on what i did wrong.
*note: on step 11 it shows two areas where you can enter the IP address and start port/end port. One is labeled "internal" and the other is labeled "external". On the internal i input my WAN IP and ports starting and ending in 22. On the external I input the remote address and the local port/remote port as the starting and ending ports given by the sshtunnel app.

Chromcast DNS

Hi. I've read around the web that Chromecast uses it's own DNS regardless of what's on the router.
I can't figure out how to block that.
I have a Vodafone Huawei HG658c
I have the passwords for the Admin settings, and can access static route and all that, but no matter what guides I read I can't figure it out.
I'm also using Unblock-us. I have it working on everything but chromecast.
I'd even go as far as letting a trusted member teamview in to get this working. Or I can provide any screenshots of my router page needed.

Post your static routes page.

Attached :good:

Ok, you should be able to create static routes to disable Google DNS.
Check your router's home page to see what your LAN address range is. (for example something like 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.255, with a mask of 255.255.255.0 would be typical, but yours might be different) You need to pick an address in this range that doesn't exist, e.g., something like 192.168.1.99)
Then enter a static route with:
Destination network address: 8.8.8.0
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.99 (or whatever non-existent LAN address you picked above)
Probably ok to leave on Interface as Auto, or pick LAN or LAN+wireless if you have to choose.
And repeat for 8.8.4.0.
This only blocks Google DNS. Then you still have to insert your unblock-us DNS addresses in the router's DNS fields.

Ah, so it's an unused address I have to put? I'll give this a go and let you know. Thanks a LOT!!!!!

Doesn't seemed to have worked. I even tried the other Google dns's too (see pic)
Nothing is on .123 so I put the address as that.
Chromecast is static on .125
I have the unblockus dns address in correctly as all other devices work.
I've rebooted everything too to make sure.
Starts playing fine on laptop or phone, but when casted it comes up with "We're having trouble playing this title........"

There's an easy way to tell if it's working. Just ping the Google DNS addresses from your computer, and you should get the response "Destination unreachable" (open a cmd window and type "ping 8.8.8.8").
When you say "Chromecast is static on .125", I'm not sure what you mean. You can't assign the Chromecast a static IP address, and if you could this wouldn't work because it has to fetch your DNS addresses using DHCP.

I am actually getting a ping back (see pic)
What I meant was I reserved the ip address 192.168.1.125 for the chromecast

In the drop down box I found the LAN option, works perfectly now. Thanks so much for your help. Genuinely appreciate it! :laugh:

I guess the default "Auto" static route selection on your router isn't smart enough to recognize a LAN address, but as long as it's working now, you should be all set.

Any way to setustatic ip address?

Do we have a way yet to set a static IP address for the chromecast? Mine are rooted and using eureka rom. My router doesn't have an option to set IP address based on mac address, and there are no custom FW available for it. In know in normal android, we get options for the device to have a static IP. Is there an option maybe for that hidden away in the Eureka rom? Or are there any other suggestions to get this accomplished?

I guess you could use dhcpsrv, the PC program a lot of use to force the Chromecast to use a desired DNS without changing the router setup. Just set it up to recognize only the Chromecast MAC address. But you'd have to have dhcpsrv running each time you powered up the Chromecast.
