I'm helping out with a number of upgrades and issues at a medical clinic where my wife works. It's a small business so there's not much in the way of an 'IT dept.' It's just been one issue after another and still being in school for this stuff it's been an experience to say the least. Half the programs I've never dealt with, the server was full of junk , out of date on everything (running server 2008 on top of it), only had 2 HDD's setup on raid0, was only running on 1 network cable even though there was an entire other and newer NIC installed with 2 more ports, and had a number of viruses that forced us to wipe it and re-install everything.
Now that that's working and I've got all the other computers connected and all that jazz we have another issue.
The modem-router has an issue. We can't get to the config page. It's a DSL modem-wifi router (upgrade??) from AT&T. After hard wiring a computer directly to it and going to it's login address (192.168.1.1) it asks for the username and password. Type that in and nothing - the page is blank. It's the correct IP, the username and password is correct, so what gives? Power cycling accomplished nothing and I'd prefer not to reset it since over a dozen workstations connect to it. Not to mention being wireless and in a medical facility I'm sure HIPPA wouldn't be to thrilled about an unsecured connection.
Is this a perfect time for AT&T to come out and give them a new one or is there something I'm missing? They're obviously not very bright since last nights resolution from them was to reset the connection on their end. "that should help with the speeds and make it faster" - umm, right. Since that sounds like the issue we called about...
--
The best you can hope for from AT&T is ti replace the gateway. If you're absolutely sure the admin name & password are correct, I say reset it. If they exchange the router, you're gonna have to re-enter all that stuff anyway.

Hello. I signed up for Mail2Web's Exchange service, but then I learned about Consilient Push, before I got heavily invested in Mail2Web (no one even knows the address yet), and I was hoping to change. Problem is that WinMo 6 will let me change the server address for my Exchange server, but not the log-in, or the domain.
This is going to be moot, since eventually I'm probably canceling my unlimited data plan (costs a little too much for me, and I'm going to school where I'll be under a nice blanket of WiFi). Anyway, I'm using a T-Mo Dash, and to save power, it shuts down WiFi... plus between buildings, and in dorms there's no WiFi (routers, even in campus apartments and townhouses are forbidden), and I don't want my device hammering away at the network unnessessarily. I'll probably go with something like 20 MB (accidents do happen...), but I want to avoid all possible automated data usage.
I tried searching for a solution to this problem, but I couldn't come up with anything. Maybe I'm using the wrong search terms, or perhaps no one has tried this before. Maybe both!

I hate to say it, but it doesn't. All the existing software is working fine, and I'm just looking ro DEautomate it all. For now, I'll settly for being able to change the username for the ActiveSync Exchange Sync settings.
Just got my Samsung Captivate about a month and I got my wifi connected to the school network, but when i open the broswer or any apps need internet i didnt get any connections? at the first week it works.. and when connecting to the school wifi it should be come out with the school login page,, then the internet will work.. however the wifi is connected doesnt matter how strong the wifi singal is.. it just cant load and cant bring me to the login page..
I really need help..
and the wifi works everywhere.. except my school...
btw my friends iphone 3gs works..
I am also at college and have had the same problem. the best reason I have found is the phone itself. half of our wifi is an older standard that does not work on the phone. it shows up as wep and i can not get it to recognize it as 802.1x . in my tinkering I have also messed up the wifi that was working.
long story short it probably won't work. I have spent a long time trying to get it to work with no luck

Hello to both of you,
I also attend a college with an 802.1x connection and the captivate supports most of these networks; however you will probably need to configure the network settings manually (usually retrievable on your schools IT site). If you dont mind digging up your settings I would love to check to see if I can configure your phone.
FYI, you might be having a problem similar to what's seen in this post.

I definitely had this problem today. It appeared connected but no web pages would load. Going to have to investigate further. Why can't things just work
I know my school recently implemented some new security certificates that you must agree to before logging in, has anything like that changed for you? My wife's Aria is running 2.2 and can log into the school network, but my captivate cannot. It is frustrating I know.
Seems some colleges and universities are noticing issues with android devices letting the DHCP leases to expire but keeps using the IP address assigned instead of requesting a new one.
See the following links.

I actually have similar issues with my Belkin wireless router at home. My laptops and other wireless devices have no problems connecting or re-connecting but the Captivate just refuses to re-connect after the connection was terminated. Even after resetting the router, the phone just keeps trying to use the same IP address for some reason.
The only way I could get it to reconnect is to either reboot the phone or to remove the AP entry which is a pain especially if you have wireless passwords.
Hopefully someone with better insight into how Eclair and Froyo handles WiFi can come up with some fix.
more solutions?
I believe the new 2.2 firmware solves this issue. I too am at College and my captivate FAILS to actually access the internet through wifi unless I statically assigned the IP.
I just updated to Froyo and it connected instantly. I'll have to do more testing to make sure, but I think Samsung finally fixed it.
captivate wifi issue at school
i just got Galaxy S (Captivate) and wi-fi is giving trouble.
when i tried at a university campus, it gives error and says can't open and try again later. it is like, i get connected to the network, IP and DNS and everything is generated. But when i open browser to open a website, instead of taking me to login page it gives the above error.
here is what i get when i try to open a website.
'web page not available'. the page might be temporarily down or it may have been moved permanently to new address.
here are some suggestions:
- check to make sure device has signal and data connection. (I made sure it is connected to wifi)
- reload page later. (i tried after 5 mins, same result)
- view cached copy from google. (doesn't work either)
i am not able to understand why is this happening. i tried restarting the phone after connecting to wifi but no luck. any pointers?
Sounds like they use a portal system which requires logon and doesn't play nice with the Captivate's browser. Unfortunately many such portal systems are written poorly and I've even seen some that only work with Internet Explorer.
You could try a different browser on the Captivate. Dolphin allows spoofing assorted User Agents, which might help.
Hey guys, I have the same problem connecting to m school's network login page. It would say connected but the website always says cant be found. But the good news is that I found a way to connect to it manually! What you need is your captivate and friends iphone 4 or 3gs. First have use your friends iphone to connect to the wifi and then go into wifi settings. You should see 2 DNS address, Ip address, netmask (subnet mask) and router address. Now jot those addresses down except the ip address. Go to settings->wireless and network->Wi-Fi settings->now tap the bottom left button under the samsung logo and click advanced. Now check use static ip. Do not enter anything for your ip address just yet (we will do this last). Now enter router address into gateway, subnet mask into netmask, DNS1 to DNS1 and DNS2 to DNS2. ok when you are done click back and tap the network you want to connect to. Once you are connected jot down your ip address by taping the network once more. now go back to where the static ip was and input the ip address you just jot down into the ip address underneath use static ip. Disconnect and reconnect to the desired network. You may have to do this a few times or reboot your phone. This has been working for me so far around different buildings but with the same school network connection. I hope this helps cheers!

Yeah, my school uses the Bradford dissovable agent. Funny thing is, some connections work perfectly, others not at all. Technically none should work, and sometimes I feel that maybe I should tell them that sometimes somehow it is possible to bypass the whole agent thing- but why rock the boat just yet
Does it need a proxy to work? If so, this app is amazing.

I figured it out a month ago, and it is actually petty easy. But you really have to change ip address manually, usually just the last number.

Hi All, I have a question I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with.
I have a Nexus S i9020A running CM 7.0.2 on AT&T. I've noticed something strange lately and can't quite pinpoint the problem.
I'm running a server at my house with a no-ip address to access my tv show downloads. I'm able to access this from the browser (any browser) while connected to wireless (in my network, or out) but only intermittently while on cellular data. When it isn't working it simply keeps trying to connect until it times out. I haven't yet recognized a pattern of when it works vs when it doesn't.
I thought for a bit it might be a DNS issue, but even with the straight IP address it won't load. Funny thing is, I'm still able to SSH into my router using ConnectBot, so I know the address is correct and the phone can see it. Other apps like RDP won't work either while I'm having this issue.
It's not the end of the world, but it sure is annoying. I'd like for it to work whenever I need it. Any ideas?! I'm stumped.
Thanks everybody!

I know nothing about networking, just so you know. It sounds like you know much more. I will offer a guess. With some other phones than the ns, sprint has multimedia proxies set for when you are on their network. Streaming music works on wifi but not cell. Use the msl to get into settings, ##data# is the code for sprint phones, and I forget what they are called but there's two proxy addresses and ports that need to be zeroed out then reboot in order to get streaming to work. This is probably not a solution for you but I thought I'd offer something since nobody else has chimed in yet for suggestions.
RS something or another. The other setting is always right next to the first one and generally at the bottom of the list of settings. It could be in advanced or multimedia. Different places for different phones. It would be wise to write down the default addresses and ports before changing them in case it doesn't work or breaks something. It usually doesn't though.
Hey herb, thanks for the response. I see what you're saying, but I don't think it applies here. I know I made it sound like I was streaming or downloading music through the phone...my mistake. What I actually meant was that I'm accessing a web site running from my house to control my home machine downloading music. It's nothing complicated, I'm just sure I'm explaining it terribly.
But, essentially it's just a regular old web page. It's just very strange that it would work wireless and not over cellular. They do run on funky ports, so that they're blocking or redirecting some stuff is very possible. Annoying...
I understand this is only tangential to phone security, but my phone is connected to the LAN and I know there are some great experts here.
Here's my situation: a few days ago I had some equipment installed that required wireless access. I had to give the installer my LAN password in order to set it up. After he finished and left the house I noticed he was still in his truck for more than 5 minutes and appeared to be using a laptop. My paranoia kicked in and I unplugged my modem.
My question is what's the worst could someone do on short notice with your LAN password? I've only noticed one oddity since then. I listen to SiriusXM streaming every day. Today it told me that I was listening on a different device (which I wasn't) and did I want to continue on my desktop. That's the only unusual thing I've noticed. Malwarebytes and Norton scans don't show anything. WinPatrol hasn't noted any new bootup programs.
I know I should have changed my LAN password immediately but I have probably more than 25 devices that connect to it and it's a major PITA to go to each one and change the connection password. I will do that today but I'm still wondering what a bad guy can do with my LAN password and SSID. I do live in a semi-rural area and a stranger would stand out immediately, so I'm not concerned with some sort of war driving event.
If someone knows of a better forum to post my questions I would appreciate that as well.
Thanks!

You are talking about you´re WLAN password, right?
Yes. WLAN password.
Well, the worst thing I think is infecting one of you're device inside you're LAN or changing you're router configuration to allow access from outside.
If you're device are secure and up-to-date I don't think he could have done anything harmful (except downloading illegal things)
Worst case
If they came prepared and had everything set on their laptop beforehand they could set up a man in the middle attack on the router such that everything you get is also routed though them. Do not worry most websites use ssl to encrypt traffic which is mostly unbreakable on a well setup website. I wouldn't use anything from a "small website" only google Facebook twitter and the big name, they are reliably secure. He will still be able to see the sites but not the data. One thing to be careful of is that google directs searches inside the url so he will still be able to see searches and even which search page. He could have also setup a backdoor in the router so he can get in later and do more. If you want more pleas pm me with the router model so I can look into it. do not give me the external address or password I dont want that only the modle number.
Just theoretically this is the worst case scenario of five minutes. he would have to have everything ready beforehand and be skilled and type faster than most people but the mere possibility of this is why I got my own router sealed and set it up myself.
long story short- we live in a big house, one of the guys is way behind on rent, the cable/internet is in his name. as one last "f*** you" to the rest of us while he's being evicted, he changed the wifi login to something the rest of us don't know (we've been splitting the cable bill among the 4 of us this whole time)
so the modem is a comcast/xfinity branded XB2 "all-in-one" modem/router made by Arris.
the default network name and password are printed on the outside of the modem.
also printed on the outside is the serial number (alphanumeric 15-character), a CM MAC, an E-MTA MAC, and a WAN MAC.
now of course I could just hold down the reset button for 30 seconds, use the default login, change it to something new, and take over the modem, but that only lasts as long as it takes him to call comcast and get them to override the modem/internet service.
I've got an old android that I've rooted just for this purpose. (I don't have access to a laptop or pc with a wifi adapter right now) I've tried using androdumper to brute force the wifi to no avail.
i think the best way to go about this is... hard reset the modem... log into the modem using default info... and then what? that's where i'm stumped. i'm pretty new at this (if you couldn't tell)
is there any info I can pull off of the comcast/arris modem screen (10.0.0.1 I believe is the address) that I can later use to pull the wifi password?
any android apps I can use to pull the wifi password?
Security is WPA
Before this guy changed the password, I looked at the security settings using 10.0.0.1 and they were set to "very lax" or whatever comcast calls it.
If you have any questions for me I'll try to answer them the best I can
Thank you in advance for all the help
Just hard reset it and change the password to something your crew agrees with..
I can't think of a worse punishment than to have anyone deal with customer service repeatedly.
Even more so if you can keep his hands off of it..

i hear ya, especially comcast customer service, but it's not really a solution. i've given this a lot of thought, i'd rather not go through all the hassle, but i've already gone to the trouble of rooting my phone and scouring the internet for android apps and wordlists and brute force solutions, all to no avail
if we "misplace" the modem that gives the guy an excuse to get the cops involved and trust me he'd love an excuse to call the cops and stir up even more s***
could anyone please recommend an app to crack the wifi?
or maybe a link to some instructions/things to try?
FYI the phone I have rooted is a samsung galaxy centura
Just hard reset the damn modem. it takes less than 5 minutes. Once you reset it, change the default password. Reset the wifi as the same SSID, and put in a new password.
What's going to happen is this: He'll reset the modem again, and do the exact same thing, again. your problem is this: the Comcast service agreement is in HIS name. He doesn't even have to get the cops involved. All he has to do is call Comcast and THEY will come after you for theft of service, and they do not back down easily. Give up while you're ahead.
Your best option is this - Call Comcast. tell them you evicted this person, and that he left an active cable internet account at your address. You would like to get new service installed to replace this account. They will work with you on this. I've had to do this a couple times before.
