do you enter just the DNS info? or do you give it a static ip?

i just enter the dns information

You may need to give it an IP as well... Usually I can't connect unless I give it the IP...

u mean the ip of my modem?

No, he means you need to give the phone an IP.

set IP address fixed wirelesscard (MDAIII, Blueangel)

Does somebody know if it is possibele to change registry to a fixed ipadress for the wireles card on MDAIII, this because when i'am home i want to use a fied ipadres gateway etc, on work i'm using DHCP, coming back home i have to reenter everything again
Go to Settings/Connections/Network Cards. There is an adapter there called WL*** (or something like that). Click on it and enter IP, subnet, GW and DNS server.
Cheers,

that doesnt work
what i wan't is that it remebers my setting is i switch between server assigned ip adress or user specific ip address

Public IP Address??

I am trying to run one of the many FTP servers available for Windows Mobile (vxFTPSrv or ShareIT FTP) to keep some files in sync but I can't seem to figure out what public IP address my phone has. vxFTPSrv says it is listening to a non-routable 10.**** while whatismy ip says it starts with a 200.**** while DynDNS for Windows Mobile says it is 32.****. Nevertheless, none of these work nor can I get these programs to listen to the ports. Any ideas? Does the Tilt even get a public IP address from AT&T? Thanks.
Try this
I'm no pro, but had to tell the Physical address to the the tech guy at my university so he could enable my phone o use the wireless network...
... anyways, download and install a Registry Editor (I use Task Manager v2.8) you should be able to access an Ipconfig tab, where all the information is available.
I don't know if I'm in the right track.... Hope this helps? =)

your pda have an ip address
using wifi router the uplink sees the routers ip
using an isp the internet sees the isp's assigned ip

Another good one I use is Iper Suite.

For casual use the first one is probably satisfactory.
IPer is worth buying for the increased functionality and has a TFTP client.

200.* would be a public IP. As would 32.*
Turn off your proxy setting in the phone and do the www.whatismyip.com thing. That will get you a more meaningfull result than anything else.
When I'm on GPRS/Edge (AT&T proxy settings in force) network I get a 66.102.186.15 IP address as reported by whatismyip.com. That resolves to alpmagr1fe06-dmz.mycingular.net. Which should be a att proxy server even tho it implies by its name its on a DMZ.
When I turn off the proxy for GPRS/Edge I get 166.195.188.15 according to whatismyip.com. That IP address will not respond to ICMP commands. So I assume it is firewalled. So it seems to me that yes you CAN and DO get a public IP address, its just that address is heavily firewalled.
You've piqued my interest, tho I cannot do anymore testing at this moment.

VPN client w/RSA token support?

Does anyone know of a VPN client that supports RSA token #'s? I've looked all over the place but can't seem to find anything.
Thanks for any help.
Maybe this? (VPN Connections)

I'm running Cyanogen 5.0.7, and I read all the post but did not see anywhere that is supports RSA tokens. I might still try it and see if it works. Thanks!
It says "Cisco VPN Client". I know that Cisco VPN supports RSA tokens, having used one for a long time.

Do you think it will still work on a N1, I see that the instructions are for the Desire?

Thanks to Jack_R1 I believe I have everything loaded correctly. Now could someone tell me where I can find my IPSec info on my computer? I'm not to familiar with the VPN stuff, but I have been working at this forever. I'm trying to do this on the low from my company since they said that they won't do it for me.
Any help would be great, thanks.
If you're using any proprietary sw to connect, look there in the connection properties to find the server IP. If not - look in Windows connection properties for VPN 'dialing' connection.

Our computers use Nortel Contivity, but I can't find the connection properties anywhere. I see the destination ip, and the assigned ip.
The IPSec gateway address should be what?
IPSec ID?
IPSec Secret?
bump for help!
Couldn't find anything and not familiar with Nortel SW..

"You will now be asked first for your Ubuntu password, and then the following VPN info: the IPSec gateway address (the hostname of the VPN router you want to connect to), the IPSec ID (aka group ID), IPSec secret (aka group password), username (your VPN username), and password (your password or the value of your SecurID or other token if you have one)."
I guess you need to ask your IT personnel for IPSect ID and secret. IPSec gateway you can find from settings:
http://www.it.ubc.ca/security/VPN/setupdocs/nortelcontivity.html
"Destination" field holds it.

I believe that I have all my settings correct but I'm still getting "failed to connect". I'm going to do a little more searching but if I can't get it I'm giving up, I have spent hours on this. Thanks for all your help Jack_R1.
I've just started trying to make this work also. Lex, did you ever find a solution?

Nope, I tried everything. Jack r1 was very helpful, but I just couldn't get it. I think my company's security is just too high to bypass and my lack of knowledge didn't help.

Chromcast DNS

Hi. I've read around the web that Chromecast uses it's own DNS regardless of what's on the router.
I can't figure out how to block that.
I have a Vodafone Huawei HG658c
I have the passwords for the Admin settings, and can access static route and all that, but no matter what guides I read I can't figure it out.
I'm also using Unblock-us. I have it working on everything but chromecast.
I'd even go as far as letting a trusted member teamview in to get this working. Or I can provide any screenshots of my router page needed.
Post your static routes page.

Attached :good:
Ok, you should be able to create static routes to disable Google DNS.
Check your router's home page to see what your LAN address range is. (for example something like 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.255, with a mask of 255.255.255.0 would be typical, but yours might be different) You need to pick an address in this range that doesn't exist, e.g., something like 192.168.1.99)
Then enter a static route with:
Destination network address: 8.8.8.0
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.99 (or whatever non-existent LAN address you picked above)
Probably ok to leave on Interface as Auto, or pick LAN or LAN+wireless if you have to choose.
And repeat for 8.8.4.0.
This only blocks Google DNS. Then you still have to insert your unblock-us DNS addresses in the router's DNS fields.

Ah, so it's an unused address I have to put? I'll give this a go and let you know. Thanks a LOT!!!!!
Doesn't seemed to have worked. I even tried the other Google dns's too (see pic)
Nothing is on .123 so I put the address as that.
Chromecast is static on .125
I have the unblockus dns address in correctly as all other devices work.
I've rebooted everything too to make sure.
Starts playing fine on laptop or phone, but when casted it comes up with "We're having trouble playing this title........"
There's an easy way to tell if it's working. Just ping the Google DNS addresses from your computer, and you should get the response "Destination unreachable" (open a cmd window and type "ping 8.8.8.8").
When you say "Chromecast is static on .125", I'm not sure what you mean. You can't assign the Chromecast a static IP address, and if you could this wouldn't work because it has to fetch your DNS addresses using DHCP.

I am actually getting a ping back (see pic)
What I meant was I reserved the ip address 192.168.1.125 for the chromecast

In the drop down box I found the LAN option, works perfectly now. Thanks so much for your help. Genuinely appreciate it! :laugh:
I guess the default "Auto" static route selection on your router isn't smart enough to recognize a LAN address, but as long as it's working now, you should be all set.

You may need to reboot the router before the settings to take affect you know....
