Pocket PC Networking >> Access to WiFi device

by QVBl » Wed, 07 Sep 2005 17:39:02 GMT

Hello,

I am developing an application that needs more control over the WiFi
interface than that permitted by NDIS. Is there any way of accessing the WiFi
device in a low-level way?Things like change the current tuned channel or
so...

Thanks in advance.

2. Native Wifi - Get local device's MAC address

I have enumerated the local Wifi device and gotten the interface GUID.
What I would like to know is how to get the local device's MAC
address.  It looks like WlanGetNetworkBssList gets the information for
remote SSIDs.  

Is there a way to get the local MAC address using Native Wifi?

Thanks.

4. Laptops wifi connection lost when another device is nearby

My laptops wireless connections works very well at all times. However, I 
noticed that if another laptop with wifi enabled aproached next to mine, or 
if a PocketPC with wifi aproaches or connects with activesync, my laptop 
loses its connection and I get Limited connectivity. Why does this happen?

7. Accessing Network Shares/ Windows Mobile 6 -Wifi-HTC Touch- Po - Pocket PC

8. Accessing Network Shares/ Windows Mobile 6 -Wifi-HTC Touch- Possible Bug

I  improved the security on the Win XP box by disabling simple file
sharing and turning off the guest account. The new share NTFS
permissions does NOT have EVERYONE enabled, just a username. Someone
has to log in with this username to be able to access the share
remotely.


The share works perfectly from another windows xp professional box and
even a windows home edition box and even a ppc 2003 Dell axim.


But now I cannot access the share from my HTC Windows mobile 6 device.
I type in to Internet Explorer file://servername or use the
FileExplorer open UNC  and I can see all the shares. But as soon as I
select one, I get ERROR: ACCESS DENIED.

I tIhink I have found the problem. Using the security logs on XP
Professional Box, I see that the Windows Mobile 6 is trying to login
remotely using an account (username, password) that I deleted long
ago.

Apparently, Windows Mobile 6 will not give you the opportunity to
change credentials if they are not accepted by the share. You just get
'Error- Access Denied' and that's that.

Is WM6 so badly designed that I have to do a hard reset and reinstall
everything to get this working again?
