When i pull up the clients table on my home router i see the name of android_dead00beef. I have no clue how that get set that way. but is there a way to change that? i checked the build.prop file but i didnt see it in there. btw i am rooted via urukdroid.
I have the same dilemna. Apparently all Archos devices have the same SIMcard ID, dead00beef which is also why I can't play Farm Story

I have recently purchased an LG Vortex (from what I read is Verizon Wireless's Optimus One) that comes with the Android 2.2 operating system installed. I have looked into rooting my phone with z4root and have successfully temporarily rooted my phone. I would rather keep my phone unrooted, but if it is absolutely necessary I will root it permanently with z4root.
My question is this: How can I connect to my company wifi and use apps that require wifi?
I can successfully connect to my corporate wifi through the 802.1x EAP protocol. The problem comes when trying to access any of the apps that require internet (I am forcing Verizon's data plan not to be used--using wifi only due to 150MB limit on my data to save $$ per month). None of my apps seem to work--internet browser, Market, Gmail, Google Calendar, etc...
On my company pc I know that within internet explorer the box is checked that says "Use automatic configuration script" and gives an "Address" that is in the format of "..../proxy.pac" It looks like my work uses a proxy for things to connect to the internet. I have no such place to put this information in my LG Vortex. I downloaded an app that seemed promising called "Proxy Settings" which will allow me to enter in the following Hostname and Port. When I tried to enter the "..../proxy.pac" as the hostname it gave me an error stating "The hostname you typed is not valid."
Is there an app or something that will allow me to use my apps when connecting to my corporate wifi? Is it a proxy setting thing or a VPN thing? I am not sure. I am open to any and every idea so that I can use my phone's online features while connected to my company's wifi.
FYI - I have friends that have iPod touches and they are able to connect to the internet with some apps internet browsing and downloading apps, but they have a similar issue of not being able to use all of their apps as well. I believe they were able to put the "..../proxy.pac" address in their devices somewhere.
Thanks!
I am a new member on this forum but I decided to reply because I have a question and a possible solution for you:
-solution:try to download the *.pac file.You will see that it is probably a script that defines your actual proxy's ip.So you could try and figure out which is your actual proxy's ip.Then use this ip for the proxy-app. (However I am afraid that only browser will connect properly,not every app)
-and now the question:how did you manage to connect to the network?I have trouble connecting because the wifi settings menu doesn't seem to help.
I try to connect to a 802.1x EAP network and I have installed the required certificates but I don't know what to fill to username,password fiels.

I know this is not allowed by att, but is this something that can be hacked, or is it a hardware issue? Or at least tethering?
Guess it should be solved as a voice call functionality block. S-OFF + simple property modification. Without custom ROM.
I'm sure a hack will be found for it, once the device is rooted and such. Much like the Sprint device ROMs come with the Wireless Tether application, there will likely be one for the Jetstream once we can get the device rooted.
Greetings... Believe it or not, I "accidently" found a way to activate it, without root. I installed super box from the market, and when I was in the power save menu, the hotspot line said off, but clicking it took me to the regular settings menu and the menu to the right allowed me to turn it on, give it a name and set security! The odd thing is that the list of menus on the left is not highlighted as to which one you are in, so you can't access it through "settings," only superbox. There may be another way, but this works!
HI,
I am new to Android with my first device being the Jetstream. I would love to have hotspot capabilities, would it be possible for you o provide a stepwise outline of how you gt this feature to work?
Thanks so much.
Ok, I downloaded the program and as you said, I was able to turn on the wi-fi hotspot capability; however, even when I changed the SSID name it showed up in other devices as "HTC Portable Hotspot" and even if the security was left open it kept asking for a password. I changed the security to require a password, but when I entered it it did not allow me to connect.
Did you do anything else?
I think you are on track.... The password is your choice, and is only an option if you pick one of the two security protocols. The password would be entered on the other device trying to connect to the jetstream. If the name is fixed, I'm at a loss, didn't have that issue...
any luck with this?
So, as I look above, the question I have is to access my wireless at work, I need to have the ability to change the settings from OPEN to SHARED, or vice versa...
But as far as I can see, there's no option to do this? Or is there?
I have to say I am liking this device more and more every time I see it in action!
I am not entirely sure what you are asking for, but if you need to change the type of network that you would be connecting to, you can only do that at the router you cannot do it at the connecting device (in this case tablet).
If your work is using a WEP/WPA protected wireless network your tablet should have no trouble seeing it and connecting to it assuming you have the correct credentials.
By mistake I have clicked on "forget" on my wifi connection under the wireless settings. The problem I have now is that I simply can't revert this Forget behavior.
I am using B&N stock android version but rooted.
Anyone has any idea on how to revert that?
I do believe the easiest way would just be add the information back in, most of the time once a setting like that is gone, it's gone for good.
but do you happen to know if there is some kind of list of "forgotten" ssids in the system where i could go there and delete the line?
because i dont want to have to change my router ssid just because of the nook (since everything else uses that wifi name)
I don't know about a list of forgotten names, but I know there is a list of saved names, and it can be manually edited. I can't find the exact file name right now, but you might be able to dig around with your file explorer and find it (that's how I initially discovered it).

Can you be more specific about the problem you are trying to solve?

Sure.
Under Settings -> Wireless one can see all the WiFi connections within range right? So by mistake I have clicked on my connection and selected "Forget" instead of "Connect".
I am trying to find a way that I can recover the forgotten WiFi SSID. Either using the UI or some text editor to do so.
I am using a rooted version of B&N 1.4.2 Android.

Have you tried turning WiFi off and then back on? Normal behavior for Android (and the Nook user manuals seems to confirm this) would be for your tablet to scan for nearby WiFi access points when you activate WiFi. If you aren't using a hidden SSID, you should be able to see your access point's SSID and start a connection to it.
We are finally getting wi-fi here at work, and i was wondering how to change the name that shows up when i connect to the wi-fi from "AndroidDevice(with a series of numbers behind it)" to Rageboardrs Tablet.

Root access is required. Add net.hostname=Rageboardrs_Tablet to build.prop file and then reboot. Otherwise, search Google Play; there are apps there that will assist you with changing the name.
