Hey I'm new to this forum, so sorry if I'm not use to the customs. I am writing a program on an N80 in pys60. I have come across the need to get the MAC address, and get and set the Subnet mask address programmatically through python. I've been looking all over the web and I have not found a way to do it. I was wondering if someone could help me with this.

HI Blackhawk225 first of all welcome to the python discussion board as far as i know you can get the IP address of your phone using pys60 if you know bit networking concepts then you can easily get other things. i hope this works for you.

Hi, Its not possible to get the physical address but surely you can get the logical address of the device. Because it falls under the device capabilities. If you can play with the root level of symbian OS and hardware you can get it but as you know S60 is layer above symbian OS so you have to penetrate the OS first !

Hi Blackhawk, Looks like you would need to hard code your MAC address, which would make your app : non portable. (Which is the only possible solution, I can see using Pys60) You can get the MAC Address by using code *#62209526# on the device Br, Croozeus

hi Blackhawk255 yes once you get the mac address i think certainly get the other things with a little bit of manipulations on it. @kiran sir great to see you again in the discussion boards.

How to check with Pyton which IP I received from DHCP while connecting to AP? I've found such script: Code: import socket ap_id = socket.select_access_point() apo = socket.access_point(ap_id) apo.start() print "PHONE IP IS", apo.ip() But for me it works only in case I select connection different than WLAN (e.g. GPRS); while selecting WLAN IP address is always 196.254...

@reaper7 That code works for me... I've manually set my IP for my AP at home to 192.168.2.95, an that's exactly what the code returns in my case.

@szallah: Of course you're right - if IP is set up manualny the script will show it correctly. But if I set it up manually of course I know it well and so don't have to check it I've set DHCP, connect to different APs and want to know which IP was assigned for me and this doesn't work correctly.

another way to get the real address: Code: msg = "Ok" intip = "0.0.0.0" port = 8511 s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_DGRAM) apid = None apid = socket.select_access_point() if not apid: sys.exit() apo = socket.access_point(apid) socket.set_default_access_point(apo) apo.start() s.bind(("0.0.0.0", port)) s.sendto(msg, ("255.255.255.255", port))...

Enjoy Pythoning Gaba88 Sure, it works well enough (btw. thanks for reaper7 for the workaround). Of course it would be nice that the &quot;apo.ip()&quot; method worked, too I guess it would be time to file a bug report regarding this issue (unless someone hasn't done that already).

And the code is easier to remember, if you think of it as *#MAC WLAN# ('M' on the regular mobile phone (ITU-T) keypad is on the key '6', 'A' is on the key '2', 'C' is also on '2', etc.).
