Cannot connect using Office LAN

Gast

Hi,
I have been quite an old user of MPE, starting with my SE phone and now with Android HTC phone. I like MPE very much and thanks for extending the software for Android phones.

These days, am facing a different problem, wherein, I am not able to use MPE at my Office!! If I check the MPE android client, it shows a DHCP IP address in the same subnet as that of my laptop; both connected to same SSID Wi-Fi access point (AP)

However, we have multiple AP's in my office, but all with the same SSID. Hence, I dont know if the phone is hooked onto one AP and my laptop to a different one, but both would have the same SSID.

In this scenario, if I try to connect in laptop MPE: (a) MPE crashes when trying with the Wi-Fi connection mode in settings! Tried couple of times and the crashing is consistent (b) if I have select the mode as Wi-Fi in settings, MPE throws an error saying "could not connect" (note: I am trying to connect only through wifi, turning off bluetooth & disconnected from USB)

Plz resolve the issue. I want to use MPE in my office where I spend most of my time in a day (of course, this would not require Proxy as both laptop & phone are in local LAN)

Thanks in advance.

You could find out the MAC adress of your phones AP by running Wifi Monitor

And on your PC (?) you can run arp -a in a command window to find stuff out...

EDIT: Ehm ... this is to find out whether your computer and phone is on the same AP ... after that I don't know what the problem is Smile

MyPhoneExplorer crashes as soon as you want to connect throught Wifi -> your Firewall kills maybe MyPhoneExplorer. Did you try to preselect the IP in the settings (works since v1.8.1) ?

After a day or two of getting this error, now I am not getting this error! One change I could notice is that now the phone IP address is changed; as it is assigned through DHCP.
I am still not sure if office network firewalls play a role in this, but the connection is not really consistent. After a few minutes, MPE in laptop gets disconnected, but if I check in phone, it says it is connected! Not sure why the connection is not consistent.

You should enable "Avoid standby" in the settings of the client
