[Q] MAC Address Block - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there an app like I can install to my root htc android phone so that I can be unblocked from accessing the router? I think our network admin blocked my phones IP address to prevent me from spoofing the network. Thanks

your network admin probably blocked your MAC address (not IP) or restricted the network access to some MAC address only.
The IP address is assigned to a device by the network (i.e DHCP protocol)
The MAC address is the one specific to your device (hardware related), the one that can be banned from a network. You can spoof your MAC address (unless only specific MAC address are granted by your admin) to connect back to the network. You must spoof the mac before each attempt to connect to the network.
Maybe there is a way to change the MAC permanently, idk

Accessing My Linksys Router Using Kaiser

I heard that you can access you Linksys router using your phone as long as you are connected to you wireless network and have web access. I have been unable to get this to work... Any ideas anyone?
Same way you would for anything, has nothing to do with the Tilt... If you're doing it from the internet, you have to turn on something which is likely called "Remote Administration" or something similar and access your internet IP address in a browser.
From the wireless network itself, just go to the router's IP address in your browser.
if you are at home and connected to your router via wi-fi just open your browser and in the address bar type in 192.168.1.1 (usually the default address for linksys router, otherwise look up correct address for your model). you will be prompted for user ID and password default admin:admin. this is the same way you access your router from your PC. it is also possible to access your wireless router at home when you are away by just using media net (or whoever your carrier is' data connection.) just like khaytsus says, you need to first turn on remote access while connected to your router from home.

Wi-Fi connection by MAC Address Getaway

Hi
Is there app to connect to hidden wi-fi network with MAC Address as getaway??
I have network at my work so I cant change settings of Aironet Access point.
i think it's called "spoofing" your mac address
not really. spoofing is to change MAC address to hack to secured networks. In this case Getaway have MAC address and My WinXP notebook find it by MAC address not by IP. Network isn't block by MAC filtering.

Wifi Mac address

How on earth do you find your wifi mac address on this dam thing?
According to HTC there is no way to find the phone's WiFi MAC address from the phone. The only way to do so is to turn off MAC Address Filtering on your WiFi router, allow the HD7 to connect to the router, then look up the HD7's MAC address from the list of WiFi clients on the router.

There is currently no way to set a Static IP address in Windows Phone 7, you'll have to wait for an update to come out that allows this.

You shouldn't need to manually configure your IP for the phone, the router will most likely assign your phone one if your DHCP is enabled (default on most routers). If you are wanting to connect it to your current home network and you have a wireless router, first you will need to go into the router configuration and set it to broadcast your SSID (if not already enabled). At this time the HD7 cannot connect to hidden networks (I don't see a point in hiding your SSID anyway, use better encryption, and a strong password with numbers, letters[upper and lower case], and symbols[if supported]). You can then use you HD7 to connect to your home network, once connected to your network go back into the router and look at your network. It should list all the devices currently connected to the network along with their currently assigned IP addresses. If you really need to, now that you know what IP address your router has assigned to your phone you can set your router to give your phone a static IP but really as long as you leave the router broadcasting the SSID your phone should have no problem connecting to the WiFi it should save the key and SSID, and it will get a new IP at regular intervals.

static ip

Is it possible to set static IP on Chromecast or DHCP is the only option?
Can't you go into your router (or DNS) and set the IP based on the device's MAC address?

Yes, that's what I have already done but this still requires having DHPC server on the network, and my goal is to turn DHCP server off.
I'm looking to do this too. I have the Chromecast connected to a route in L2TP mode going through a VPN. All of my other Android devices can connect to the internet. The Chromecast will connect to the network. The PC and all devices can see it, but it won't connect to the internet. For some reason you can't even stream a tab when the Chromecast can't connect to the internet, even if the LAN is functioning fine.
I suspect the problem in internet connectivity is running L2TP instead of DHCP.
