This probably should have went in the last post I made today about E71 and a Mac. When your trying to connect to a wireless network thats usings Mac security, there is a good chance your going to need your E71's Mac address to access the wireless network.
To find your Mac address you need to type in the following code from your E71's homescreen...
*#62209526#
From there you will see your code that you must write down and punch in to the field that is asking for it. After this you should have access to the network.
If anyone else has any tips about finding the E71 and a Mac computer please leave us a comment below and share your knowledge.
An easier to remember version is to use the letters on the kays and type:
ReplyDelete*#MAC WLAN#
where there is a space (key '0') between MAC and WLAN.
My tip above would be great if the E71 had a conventional ITU-T which it doesn't. So I'll just shut up now... :-(

I'm using an E71 and tried out *#62209526# to find what my MAC address is but it did not work. Were are you meant to enter this?
ReplyDeleteBtw, MAC address is your device ethernet id and nothing to do with Macintosh computers...
haha i thought it was for mac computers, thanks for correcting me.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant ... thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi, Where do you enter the MAC address? I can't figure it out? Does it have to be entered in the WPA2 pre-share key?
ReplyDelete*#62209526#
ReplyDeleteas per above comment where do I type this? After I typed this I selected 'send service command' the phone said 'requesting' and then 'request not completed'
Thanks
My MAC address is written underneath the battery! I'm sure yours is too!
ReplyDeleteCould any1 get the e71 wifi working with linksys router? i have linksys wrt54g and cannot get it to connect at all
ReplyDeleteMy wifi works great works great with wrt54g: I have it set up with wpa2 personal key encryption with no probs :-)
ReplyDeleteAlso - regarding mac in general: found the Nokia Multimedia Transfer app quite usefull. Now using the recode functions in the program, I get all my media (music, movies and podcast) transfered automatically to my nokia each time i connect it to my mac :-)
Nice that Apple / Nokia make some usefull programs for mac as well; now I'm just waiting for the Software Update app for everything to be perfect ;-)

ReplyDeletehey, i have e71 trying to connect to airport express for many months. my airport is shared with mac book pro n my old pc, which only allows to use wep instead of wpa. whenever i type the shared key on e71, it cannot be connected.please help
ReplyDeletehi, i also had problems connecting with wifi using e71. the wifi where i am now is open (no security keys) but i still cannot connect. i already got the mac address of my phone but does not know what to do next. pls help.
ReplyDeletecheck your router, coz the router might have a filtering which only specified MAC address can connect to the wifi... some router implements those mac specific filter instead of password ... hope that helps..
