This is not the machine name on the network I'm talking about.
I mean, can I spoof my android device (I have a Thrive and Vibrant, but I would imagine it's mainly OS Version specific, not device) to register on a wireless network as something else, like an iPad.
This is the scenario, if it helps explain what I'm looking for.
My work's new wireless network setup looks at the device type that is connecting to it. If it's an iPhone or iPad (any versions) or PC, the wifi allows you to connect. If it's anything else (blackberry, android), it's rejected.
So not sure if there is a way to fake out the wireless packet being sent from my android device to make the wifi router think I'm an iPad, Mac, or PC.
Usually this is done by looking up the MAC address in the OUI database and if it's a MAC address assigned to Apple, well, there you go. Just spoof your MAC address and you should be able to connect. It's pretty easy if you know how to get into a shell.

http://standards.ieee.org/cgi-bin/ouisearch look up Apple there. The results show the first three bytes of the mac address. Just make up the next three bytes yourself. Or, borrow a friend's iPhone's mac address and bump him off the network
Thanks, I'll give this a try! I had no idea it could actually be determined from a MAC address. I'll just change my MAC to mimic my iPhone

When I go to set up RDP on my laptop, it asks for "Computer" & "User Name". Well I think I found my Computer's name - when you go to System and click the Remote tab, it displays: 'Full Computer Name' - so I *think* I'm set there (right?) My problem is that for "User Name", when click the Start button, at the top it says "Administrator". So when I fired up RDP on my phone and filled out the information, it came back with:
"Cannot connect. Likely reasons are: 1. Specified computer name or IP does not exist 2. A network error occured while establishing a connection"
I will say that I HAVE checked the Firewall Exception box that allows for Remote Access and I have also allowed users to connect via remote access through my System window on the Remote tab. What I HAVEN'T done, however, is anything in the way of port forwarding for 3389. I'm more than familiar with networking and working with routers, so that's not my issue. My issue is, if I'm supposed to forward a port to my IP address, how can I do that when all I can change is the last number:
http://img9.imageshack.us/my.php?image=portip4.jpg
1 - Is my user name being 'Administrator' a problem?
2 - How do I forward the ports, or work with this end of RDP? I've read about the DNS, but don't know exactly how to go about doing it.
I've been in my router before and changed some settings for the Xbox, so I don't think that has to do with DHCP on my local machine here, but correct me if I'm wrong. My question/problem is that this is set to "Automatic Configuration - DHCP"...
http://img232.imageshack.us/my.php?image=configbz4.jpg
...is this a problem? Do I need to change this at all, as in, get in contact with my ISP and go through this setup? Furthermore, if I DO end up having to change this, will it affect anything else on my network? Some people just said they checked the exceptions and logged in without configuring a DNS, so I'm wondering exactly what all I have left to change?
When you try to connect to your computer or laptop from the internet you'll need your public IP address. (not your computer name)
Go yo http://www.whatismyip.com/ on your computer at home.
Second, on your router you have to forward port 3389 to the local ip address from your computer.
Then from outside your home network you start RDP and connect to your public IP address. Your router then will forward that connection to your computer/laptop.

**EDIT**
Perfect, got it down 100%. Although as a side note.. does anyone know of a way to make the resolution/colors better? It works fine and all, but the picture is just a bit distorted with the colors all off.
I use Remote Administrator and I have found it to be the best! It will also allow you to use your native resloution that is set on the host PC you are connecting to whereas RDP won't and if you are tying to view remote camera's like I do or anything that has a specific resolution required, RDP will fail where Remote Admin will not.
The latest version is v.3.0 and it's only like $30 or even less if I remember correctly. A search of your favorite file dispensing forum may find a test version to try out and if I remember correctly, Radmin lets you use it for 30 days before you have to buy the reg key.
My original version V2.1 was upgradeable to V3.0 for free and works for Vista and allows me to connect to my PC at home which I still have v2.1 on.
It's a great app, real small and FAST!
There's also VNC which is similar to Radmin, but lacks the hidden view only mode... Great for keeping an eye on what the kids are doing on the internet without them knowing you are watching!
Hope this helps...
Hey, I have an HTC Droid Incredible, and a MyFi mobile hotspot (yeah, big red LOVES me!)
My questions is this: I carry the MiFi because I do a demo for my company that opens an HTTP channel using an IP address. So, I use the miFi to login two computers, look at their IP address, and set my software accordingly.
My question is: Does the WIFI Tether create a separate IP address for each computer that is using it? (ie does it function exactly like my MiFi does?) Or is it doing some prestidigitation under the covers that makes it SEEM like it is a real WIFI connection? (I am not using HTTPS, btw. Just HTTP, if this makes a difference....)
If this would work, I'll root my Incredible, and ditch the MiFi...
THANKS!
OK, I'm bumping this... Hate to be a nag -- but no one knows whether the Tether gives an IP address?
The reason I need to know is if it doesn't, I'll be staying with the stock and buying the IP Tether service when it Froyo comes available... but I'd rather root the phone and get the IP tether now...
Can anyone who has it help me out? Just connect 2 devices and do an IPconfig to see what the ip address on your computer is...
Anyone?
OK... NVM. I got the answer on another forum.
The answer, btw, is yes.
I've read other thread about changin MAC address via ADB or Terminal Emulator with the command
`busybox ip link set eth0 address nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn`
This appears to change it temporarily on my rooted SGS, but after I try and connect to the wifi, it gets switched back to the hardware MAC.
Reason I'm attempting this is because my building wifi only allows me to connect 1 computer. They have the wifi un-locked by restricted to MAC addresses. So I want the ability for my phone and my laptop to have the same MAC addresses, so that I can connect them both (but one at a time) to the wifi. No they will not allow me to add another device, so I need to clone the MAC address....
So with that said, how does one change the mac address in the SGS.
More threads:
forum.xda-developers . com/showthread.php?t=750596
I also tried to use
`ifconfig eth0 hw ether nn:nn:nn:nn:nn` as I would under linux, but to no avail.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Cheers

I have a Samsung Galaxy S Captivate and I was NOT able to spoof my MAC address either using the above mentioned commands. Any other ideas?
may i suggest a micky mouse?
why not take out the laptop and add the samsung's mac address?? tell them you got a new laptop ect?
its easier to spoof the mac address in a laptop
any news?
i need to change address too ...
if you have a Ethernet line in your apt just get a wireless router and disable broadcasting.

Theoretically sound, but practically not applicable. I have many MACs of my friends at work (institution) and I want to use any of the MACs on my android.
It is possible. i have given procedure for LG Optimus One. Same can be used for u'r phone. Just have to locate nvram.txt file. and appen line "macaddr = XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX" Where "XX:XX:X..." is u'r new mac address.

Not working
I recetly bought an Asus tf700t and I am having problems connecting it to other computers on the network wirelessly. What I woud like to do is connect it to my Windows XP machine that is acting as my file server (and hardwired to the router) so that I can stream movies or access documents (text/spreadsheets/etc). I have tried using ES File Explorer, Astro (with the add on), MyCloud (with Splashtop installed on the machine), MyNet, and SharesFinder.
SharesFinder has been the only app to see the other devices (all hardwired) to see any of the other computers. I have searched several forums and seen others with this problem, but all have very poor explanations of the solutions (I NEED step by step by step instructons apparently). Asus tech support was USELESS (telling me that it was a software problem) and Best Buy (where I bought the tablet) wants to charge me with no guarentee of a solution.
I would like to say that my network is setup correctly since I can stream and share files with other devices but since they are all hardwired I didn't know if that was part of my problem. The tablet can connect to the internet with no problems.
Any point in the right direction would be GREAT! (And if you include instructions PLEASE include LOTS of details!)
If it's just for streaming, have you tried BS Player Free? I use that to connect to my desktop and stream stuff.
All you really have to do is make sure the stuff you want to share IS shared and then put the local ip in BS Player Free. It works almost the exact same way for ES File Explorer as it does for BS Player. I think I followed this guide:
http://www.howtogeek.com/120882/how...ders-and-stream-videos-over-wi-fi-on-android/
Still no luck
No luck...I'm sharing a folder on a Windows7 machine and several on my WindowsXP server. The two Windows machines can "talk" to each other. My wife's work laptop (not sure of the OS) can connect to either machine. Both my Blu Ray player and set top media box can access and stream media from both.
Tech support swears it's a software issue or an issue with my router but I'm not even 5% sure that they are right. I have tried SEVERAL different apps and configurations with no luck. I don't beleive it's a compatability issue since I have read numerous forum posts/websites where people have their Asus tablet connecting to and sharing files with WindowsOS computers.
Should I call back tech support and have them send me a new tablet?
That sounds very strange... Do you have any other Android you can test it with? It seems like you have tried almost everything I can think of. The only thing left I can think of, is the way the folder is shared. Are you sure it is set to "everyone"?
That is all I can think of, sorry.
Thanks for your help..I think I'm going to call Asus and see if they'll warranty this one or buy it back. Too frustrated to want to continue messing with it.
I'd assume that Asus sees no defect here. If you install and run Overlook Fing, can you see the other devices in your network?
Overlook fing sees everythng but my apple devices...now what?

OK, that proves that it is indeed a software problem, that the tablet is not defective, and that your network configuration seems to be correct.
So if some app does not work as expected, state exactly what you did, what you expected, and what happened instead, including any error messages - maybe someone is then able to help you.
K...
1.) SharesFinder
Scan network (finds shares I am looking for)
Smb client Ip: (IP address of computer with files)
Username: (name I login to that computer with)
Password: (password)
failed to connect: 0.0.0.0<00>/(ip address I entered above)
2.) ES File Explorer
LAN Shares - scan - Nothing appears
If I manually enter LAN server - Domain: (blank)
Server: (IP address of computer with files)
Username: & Password: (Same as above)
Login failure. This may be cause by WiFi is off (Can connect to internet wirelessly), SMB server is out of network scope, The IP address is invalid, Blocked by the Firewall (have tried with all but the router's firewall off), SMB service is off
If I try as anonymous or guest or with a domain - same results
3.) MyNet
Please turn on DLNA-enabled devices within the same Wi-Fi network - I'm streaming to my Blu Ray with one as I type this but nothing shows up
4.) MyCloud
Pulls up Splashtop remote but no files, computers, or other network devices (I have installed and running)
5.) Overlook fing
This sees all my non-Apple network devices but not sure how I can connect using it
6.) Astro File Manager w/ SMB Module
Scan Local Network - No Windows shares found on network
7.) Teamviewer
Works for remote control of computer but not what I am looking to do
Still having issues...anybody have some ideas?
I can only tell you that I tried SharesFinder and ES File Explorer, and both work for me (with a Linux Samba server on the other side). Which firmware version are you on?
First, I would like to thank everyone for their help with my problem. I really appreciate it.
Last night I went home and re-evaluated my setup. Here is what I found:
My Windows7 desktop, WindowsXP desktop, Blu Ray, HP printer and Roku can all "talk" to each other and are hardwired to my Netgear router or switch connected to the router. I also have a WindowsXP laptop that can "talk" to the other computers, but only when hardwired to the router. All my wireless devices can connect to the internet, but cannot access network reseources or "talk" to the hardwired devices.
So, it looks like I have an issue with my wireless network setup. None of the desktops or printer have wireless cards. Do they need to have wireless cards in order to be able to connect with other wireless devices? Can I setup my router to handle this and use it as an access point for my wireless devices?

Dag...have you tried forgetting the network on the Asus and then establishing it again?
How about resetting the router - pulling the plug not a full reset.
That's about all I can think of....
I was having an issue where only the android devices (all wireless) COULD see my shared files/folders on a wired PC. Other wired/wireless PCs could NOT. Lucky for me just a reboot to that PC took care of the issue.

On your Netgear router, under wireless setup...."uncheck" wireless isolation & apply
You could use Plex, wich works really well :fingers-crossed:
Okay...now I feel stupid. Wireless isolation was checked on the wireless network my tablet was using to connect to my LAN. Thanks for the help!
its work

Not sure if its possible but I'd figure I'd ask cause it would be pretty cool to get it working on the Nexus 5.
Not sure how to go about describing it but its for the Nintendo 3DS, Homepass is something that gives you streetpasses without going to an official nintendo zone such as bestbuy and such. The way it works is you pretty much have to change your MAC address to one of the following addresses that works but I've found no way to change or spoof mac address and make it stick. Then you have to use wifi tethering so your 3ds connects to said network with the MAC that you used and then it should receive the passes. I've tried most things including the terminal emulator with ipconfig but it says that no applet found. Thanks for any help if its possible.
Simple terms:
Need to change/spoof MAC address
Enable Wifi tethering that uses said MAC address
3DS needs to be able to connect
