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.

You may need to reboot the router before the settings to take affect you know....

Does somebody know if it is possibele to change registry to a fixed ipadress for the wireles card on MDAIII, this because when i'am home i want to use a fied ipadres gateway etc, on work i'm using DHCP, coming back home i have to reenter everything again
Go to Settings/Connections/Network Cards. There is an adapter there called WL*** (or something like that). Click on it and enter IP, subnet, GW and DNS server.
Cheers,
M.
that doesnt work
what i wan't is that it remebers my setting is i switch between server assigned ip adress or user specific 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.
Greetings All!
I recently flashed my TyTn II with jjblaster3's 28008 ROM and am having some difficulty setting up internet access via WiFi.
I've set up the static IP address and DNS servers but every time I attempt to access a website I receive a DNS error. I've tried entering various websites IP addresses but for some reason Internet Explorer defaults to http://xxx.xxx.xx.xx whenever xxx.xxx.xx.xx is entered, so I assume it treats the IP addresses as website addresses. I do recall having similar difficulties under WM6.1.
Another thing I have noticed of various WM6.5 ROMS is that the IP address dialogue appears broken in that
The IP and Gateway address inputs are limited to 2 digit octets (i.e. 192.168.0.1 appears as 19.16.0.1)
The subnet mask defaults to 255.0.0.0 as opposed to 255.255.255.0 (note that the subnet mask also appears to be limited to 2 digit octets, so by 255.0.0.0 I actually mean 25.0.0.0)
I've been through the various IP/DNS/Network settings dialogues with a fine tooth comb but I can't seem to find the problem. I've even disabled the phone in an effort to eliminate the possibility that my connections DNS requests are be directed via GPRS.
Anyhow, that's all the information I can think off. Any assistance provided would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Nubey.
I have the chromecast and if I turn off mac filtering my chromecast works. My question is how do I find out my chromecast mac address so I can add it to my filter list. I can't find it anywhere. Thanks in advance

1) Get the chromecast IP address (Use the chromecast app on the phone, select your device, scroll down to get the IP)
2) Open command prompt, type "arp -a"
3) Look for the chromecast IP and there is your MAC address to the right
You might have to ping it first before running the arp -a command.

Command prompt from a windows laptop or can I run that command from terminal on my phone. And thanks for your reply I will try it when I get home

I believe that is only a windows command
Any time I have trouble finding MAC addresses when using MAC filtering, I just check the log on the router for a MAC address repeatedly looking for a connection. And anyone saying that you can let someone dangerous in that way, most likely not AND you'd get the same thing most likely by running the windows command. If they can MAC spoof, I think they can IP spoof too.
In addition, the MAC address is on the Chromecast box and on the unit but I've seen reports that the number on the box is more accurate than the number on the unit for whatever reason.
Enjoy.
I have configured Mac Address filtering on my WiFi router. I have added the MAC address of Chromecast on my router. The chromecast gets connected with the router and my Mobile. Now the problem is whenever I try to cast from my mobile, I don't get any display on the TV. At the same time, other mobiles from the house hold get disconnected from WiFi network.
Require help.
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.
