Got back with our IT guy and we found (by looking the router config) that the XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:FA is the LAN MAC address for the router.

However the assigned MAC address OF THE GATEWAY (router) to my device is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:FB but the MAC address OF THE GATEWAY (router) to my laptop is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:FA. Testing Round 3 (same conditions as initial test):Map the entire network again gathering every piece of information possible just like before but this time using MY DEVICE (not my laptop).įinally! I have found the problem! As stated before my device was getting the correct gateway IP (.1) which is the same as my laptop). Now with the newly aquired network information I decided I was going to do more testing.

We did this all from his machine (laptop with Windows 7) and wrote everything down on paper (we even used a piece of our 36' wide roll paper from our plotter to make sure everything would fit) and made an excel spredsheet with all the info. We decided the first thing to do was make a very detailed network map containing every piece of information we could possibly find. My IT guy was also very determined to figure this out as he doesn't like to get beat either. you guessed it NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I was in 'Its on!' mode and decided I wasn't going to stop until I found out at least what was causing the problem. After digging and digging around within the settings we came up with. Horray!!!! Progress! So with the above information I went to our IT guy and we sat down and looked at some stuff (settings in the router, access points, and servers). Then you can choose any available, connected, physical, internet connection and share it's internet connection with the virtual connection, thus theorectically turning my laptop into a 5th access point on the network. The above commands create a virtual wireless adapter and set it broadcast the specified SSID with the specified WPA security key. From network and sharing center: Shared the physical wireless network connection with the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter. From CMD command 2: netsh wlan start hostednetwork From CMD command 1: netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=AP key=XXXXXXXXX Testing Round 2 (same conditions as initial tests):Configured laptop to be a Wifi hotspot. Although I am not a aware of a router feature to do that I figure I would try some more tests.

Started thinking maybe there was something in the router that could be blocking Android devices (since it is a work network). Nothing made sense EVERY single setting is the same is on my laptop.

I had spent many many hours trying to figure this out and testing theories and nothing ever pointed me in the right direction of where to go. Every test and every bit of research returned nothing. Will add as they come to me.Īt this point I gave up for a few days. Small FTP file transfer from device to laptop - Successfulĭevice has no problems on other networks (tried un-secured, WEP, and WPA/WPA2)Ĭonnect device using Google public DNS serversĬonnect laptop using Google public DNS servers Small FTP file transfer from laptop to device - Successful All tests were performed with both laptop and device connected to the network in question, unless otherwise specified, and device was not able to access internet):Ping from laptop to device - Successful Tests Performed (My android device will be referred to as 'device' my laptop will be reffered to as 'laptop'. On occasion the device will get 'internet' access for a brief period of time but will go back to 'intranet' access only after a few minutes. It can access all files and other devices on the network.

Subnet, Gateway, and DNS IPs are all correct (they match the ones on my laptop)Ĭonnection strength is great (speed is 52mbps)ĭevice has full local access (intranet). No reports of any other clients on the network having this issueĭevice has assigned a good DHCP IP address

My Windows 7 laptop (same network) gets internet access with no problems Works just fine):Wifi Connected but no internet. Problem (note this is only on this network, every other network wifi Many clients on network (unsure of total amount but somewhere around 30 would be my guess) Server 2 - Storage/Application/SQL server Server 1 - DNS (not sure if it is actually a DNS server or just forwards the requests). Router (DHCP with WPA security and does not have MAC Filtering)Ĥ Access Points (all on same channel broadcasting same SSID with same WPA security DHCP) I hope this helps everyone out.ĭevice specs:Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 Rooted WiFi Connected but No Internet - I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!! Here is basically a run-down of what I did.
