So my school just got net books for everyone and also WiFi, but the problem is that my android phone can connect but it cant use it. at first i thought they somehow banned everything but the net books but when i brought my laptop it connected just fine:. so what do you think they did? and how can i mod my phone to use it. if it is possible.
p.s. i can only use internet explorer on my laptop and not firefox.
Thanks for the help

Yea i can connect to my home wifi and other peoples wifi i just cant get any info from my schools wifi sending or reciving. Do you think it could be the port that android hose through?
Still need help/ bump
The schools wifi may be using leap to verify you on the network. I believe you can install a program that allows you to configure these settings.
Why not ask the schools administration about it? If the school has a tech support department, they may be able to tell you why.

Hey, i think your skool has a VPN Connection, try useing the VPN app on your phone, but it requires a username and password, also try your school ID for the login, hope it works

I think maybe it can help,do not forget the three letters(w)!
if your school provided the net book then they probably have MAC address security enabled. That's as much help as I am going to give you with bypassing their security
Best of luck

Works with hostname. I haven't tried with IP addresses, but i think that works too.
You'd have to create some kind of server... you have to have something that will accept connections on the server end. Whatever it may be, including SSH, etc.

Could do what you want and more but you won't be able to turn off a computer without a way (service or server) that allows it
smb
there'sis somethinglike that ... but it checks for a security hole in "windows vista and 7 ONLY" no XP""" Vista and 7,... ok you can connect to the same network and input the IP and NUKe it.."test for the security hole, if the machine has it, it will shut down.. now aday.. 5 out of 10 machines has that hole open.. so its 50 50 chance but still good to test!
ITS CALLED "SMB CHECK"
That's frightening. If your computers have this vulnerability, they should be patched... not exploited
But anyway... something that actually executes against the credentials of your system is definitely the way to go.
Been playing with ssh so I just connect to a pc from phone and issue command to that an shut any computer on network down. Shame there isn't an app that can do out in a few clicks.

Cool man. I can't imagine it'd be too hard to write one, especially if it's just triggering a bash script with a specified argument (of the host name).
Out of curiosity, are you connecting via VPN? If so, what are you using?
I'm excited for the release of the Cisco Cius and their AnyConnect client, which will hopefully be ripped (or released).
Not using vpn am connected to nw via wireless.
If a talented dev would take up the challenge and code an app for this it would be great, if only I could code

nice .
I just purchased the gtab after careful deliberation and i have just one woe.... The only way to get internet access here is to connect to the local provider through the wireless routers they have distributed throughout the installation... Thats the easy part... after that you have to connect using a PPPOE vpn.... i do this with my laptop but i want to use my gtab on the net also.. call me greedy... So my question is; is it possible in anyway to connect to their VPN? Or maybe bridge the connection between my lappy and the gtab?
It might be possible thru Bluetooth? That is if your laptop has Bluetooth. Otherwise I think you will need a small wifi router or something and setup ICS (Internet Connection Sharing).
Bluetooth won't work....
You can use VPN software on your tab but that needs specific settings [ the same from your lap top ] just need to find compatible VPN software for the tab that will work with your network.
Easiest solution is to use your laptop as a wireless router.
depending on your OS [ assuming windows ] there are many guides online on how to set it up.
May be as easy as selecting your network connection and turning on network sharing....
Goodluck homie
EDIT: i don't know what your base's restrictions are but if your "tech" team helped set up your laptop they should help on the tab too.

Make sure you restrict your hot spot on your laptop to the mac address of your tab and see if you can hide your ssid as well. The base techs lock you down to VPN access for their security so they will not like you opening up their network for everyone to access using your vpn connection.

Thats not necessary as the internet we have is not supplied by the base techs.. we get our personal internet from a local civilian contractor called IO Global.... and the thrid country nationals they have working the branch are no where near enough tech savvy to care what im doing... but thank you for your concern...
Thanks for asking this question. I am in Oki, and having a simular connection problem with my gtab, but the solution provided allowed my to correct my problem as well. Stay safe.
I just left Afghanistan and was having a similar problem. Just curious - what base are you on?

Firstly! Thank you to all for your service to our country!!!! As the people in Egypt are finding out FREEDOM is not FREE.
Second... I do not know which ROM you are using; however Clemsyn's KERNEL does support configuring VPN on your tablet. Please go to this thread for more information:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=895825
With the above you should be able to configure your tablet and be able to roam around your area without having to go through your laptop.
This should meet the need you have
I hope the above helps and stay low !!!!

You should at least consider doing this anyway, for your own peace of mind: you don't want some random stranger abusing your network connection or potentially accessing your personal data, do you? You wouldn't take chances with your physical security I am sure. Your data security is important too.
Thank you for serving your country, stay safe out there.

Yes, thank you!
thanks everyone for both your support of my mission and of my gtablet... I will most definitely try out the clemsyn kernel and see what comes of it because then i could roam the entire base.. And as far as hiding the ssid, i really dont think thats warranted as the people in my unit or anyone else in the area are not the type of people that would know how to get around what simple security i have in place.... They arent the type of people that you would encounter on this forum, or any tech forum for that matter.... but thanks for your concern ill keep it monitored and if i dont have the warm and fuzzy i will put more security in place, but at this point its just an inconvenience.....

This may cause some problems. Android some some well documented issues with non-broadcast SSIDs. It may work, it may not. It may work today, but not connect again tomorrow.
You'll need to test different configurations (if you even can hide the SSID) and see what works. But you may NEED to broadcast for the Tab to connect (again).
Also, from a security stand point, hiding the SSID adds nothing, really. Restrict access to the MAC address and you'll be fine. Use WPA2 if at all possible.
And I'll add to the thanks for serving. You are a true American hero.
lol my first thanks lol you welcome man, i agree hiding your ssid does nothing as far as i know connectify does not work unless password protected and the default method is wpa2, even with the usual method of wpa hacking, macc address filtering should cover you so your good and thanks for tour service man
Jbro,
Thanx so much for starting this thread. I've been "there" and am going back to the same place and forgot that they use pppoe there! And I agree, you don't want to deal with the response from them when you tell them what you're doing.
It sucks bad enough standing in the line in the first place.
Have they improved connection speeds? It used to be steady but nothing to write home about. Also, can you a wifi signal base wide now?

Hi, my school has 2 wifi's -one with password and one without-. I can connect to the one without but I can't google or anything. However, I've checked the school's laptops and they were all connected to that network and can access to the net without any problem. Any idea?
Is it a school where no phone are allowed. Or no phones allowed to be displayed/used

I know at my school after connecting to the network, you have to open your browser and it will redirect to a log in screen where you enter your username and password. Is that the case here?
Often, WIFI, while "open," will require you to agree to a TOS. Once you're connected, be sure to open your browser and try to go anywhere @ all. If you need to agree to a TOS, you'll be directed to that page, agree and then be allowed to access the Web from that point. Your apps will also have access after that.
You will likely find that if this is the case, your school's WIFI will occasionally kick you off to release the IP address you've been assigned. Again, just open the browser & go from there.
I work in a number of facilities that make use of this sort of log in tech. That'd be my 1st thought for yours as well.

No, it doesn't require you to log in and doesn't let you do anything. I tried some web pages and it shows up something ( I'll have a screen shot for that by tomorrow ).
Hi,
Im trying to figure out how to remotely access one of my android devices from another android...
I need to be able to view the other devices screen and navigate through it...
My situation is Ive got a thermometer on my BBQ that has a bluetooth connection. Ill leave one device near it connected via bluetooth.
Due to range issues Id like to be able to access that device from elsewhere in my house (over WIFI). Would be super awesome if I could access it from anywhere using a data connection...
Anyone know of an app that will let me do that?
thanks in advance
guess it doesnt exist??

Teamviewer responded that their app doesnt do that.
Tablet remote doesnt let you view the screen on your remote device
Its hard to find an app that lets you remotely control from another android and let you view the screen as well, but I came across this just when I was about to give up
