Identifying Phone/Tablet model by Mac address? - General Topics

Not sure where to ask this. Is there a database anywhere which lists which range of Mac addresses various phone models use?
We have a network where some phones/tablets chew up IP addresses and all I can tell is what there MAC address is. I certainly can tell the manufacturer from the MAC address, but it would be helpful to also be able to tell if its a phone or tablet and if possible what model.

Reporting IP address?

Hey all,
I have around 250 AT&T Tilts in a production environment. Most are data only in the hands of our drivers. I was wondering if there's a simple little app that can have the phones report their IP address via email, or possibly even into a SQL database on a set schedule? This is a very needed feature as we use MyMobiler to remote into the phones as necessary if the drivers have an issue that's difficult to fix over the phone.
Thanks!

[Q] Spoof MAC Address

Our college's WiFi is using MAC address for permitting access to internet. So i need to spoof my laptop's mac address to my phone to access it on my phone. I didn't see any working way. Can any one help me on that ?
Prolly not, at least nowhere i have seen.
Why dont you just ask them to add your phone's MAC address? Or do they restrict phones from being added
yeah. they restrict phones being added.
Any hope ?
To spoof MAC addresses you need ifconfig.

[Q] How to blocking some IP addresses on android 2.2

I want to blocking all ip addresses except for assigned ip addresses.
I've tried a lot to blocking all the IP addresses with iptables but failed.
I want to know if it is possible to fulfill the requirement.
If it is possible, how to solve the problem.

[Q] Change DNS

Is it possible to change DNS so i can watch Netflix on my Omnia 7?
google didn't give any good results.
Whaaaat? Does your DNS provider block access to netflix.com or something?
It's possible to set custom configuration for WiFi networks (press-and-hold on the network name) and either change the DNS, or route your data through a proxy that has a not-stupid DNS.
Alternatively, the phone has an equivalent to a HOSTS file in the registry, at HKLM\COMM\Tcpip\Hosts\. This could be used to manually map the Netflix domain name to their IP address. That would probably work even on cellular data.
I live in Europe so Netflix isn't available to us yet. I'm using unblock-us' dns to get access.
Um... DNS literally does nothing except map a domain name (like "netflix.com") to an IP address. I'm quite sure you can resolve the Netflix domain name overseas. What you need is a proxy server. Proxies let you connect through them to the rest of the Internet, and to everybody else it looks like you are located wherever the proxy is. That (or VPN, which the phone currently doesn't support), and not DNS, is how you get around the "geo-IP" geographical restrictions on a service.

Ipv4 range

Hello, I'm fairly new to programming let alone development, how ever I need to connect my home computer and mobile device to a class server provided by my college. The server allows user access by username and password but as an extra layer of security the instructor limits access to set ipv4 addresses. Given at&t as my provider I've been using mobile hotspot as my main internet service, unfortunately the ip address changes frequently through this service. I was wondering if there was any way to capture the range of these ip adresses or if anyone could direct me on another way to create a static address through which I could connnect (perhaps a very basic web server?).

They need to change their policy. No consumer internet service uses a static IP, so even though yours may change faster, everyone else in the class will eventually have the same issue. They need to invest in a VPN if they want network security.

If this is an absolute requirement one option could be to get a static IP address from AT&T. I know Sprint offers that as an option for around $5 a month. might be a way to do this. The only other option I can think of is to get a server on something like cloud at cost or digital ocean and use it as a proxy.
Does your school offer up a VPN for students? One thing you might be able to ask the professor is if they will allow you to use it from on campus.
