Yeah ... two different MAC addresses. But this happens only once.
Now my MAC is not changing. I don't know the reason though.

MAC ID change
HI,
My MAC ID changed when I rooted the phone. When it was unrooted, it went back to the old MAC ID.
But, it doesnt change random. Just the two MAC ID's on rooting and unrooting.
A wi fi adapter must have only one MAC id, but do not know why this happens

I added both mac to router's access list, so no problem now.
Wifi mac changes issue
Yesterday, I reset Yureka and It changed MAC Address. There are lots of other bug with this device. Not happy with software.
My phone is just a day old and found the Mac address to be changing after reboots.
Though Not after every reboot the problem is evident. Is this a software issue or a Hardware issue ?
Can some one guide me in the right direction ?

does anyone know how i can find out what the mac address of my cingular 8125 is? I need it to add to my mac filtering address on my router settings.
Turn on wifi. Then goto settings connections. Tap on the wifeless lan icon. Goto the advanced tab and there it will be. You have to have wifi on to view. Took me some time to figure this out myself.

thanks.. funny thing is right when i read ur post, i thought of another way to figure it out. Connect to the network and then go into ur routers dchp settings and look at the client list. It will list ur phone their and its mac address.
I turned on wifi but was unable to access / change my IP to a static IP . I couldnt find the option under wifi - advanced as well. The new options allow me only to change my Signal Band (2.4gz/5gz) but not change my IP address or put a static IP.
Any thoughts?
It's right there
Press and hold your connected access point
Check Show advanced options
Click IP settings and change from DHCP to Static
Enter your IP/DNS
thanks i also had a problem but now i can enter my ip but the save button is unfortunately greyed out so stuck up in getting ip address can anyone help
ps: figured it out now working
thanks
saving of static IP is now per network instead of per wifi interface.
still not able to assign static ip

Is this also the case with proxy server? I have an Asus Transformer on ICS that allows me to save Proxy per access point, and I'm hoping the GNote will also do this on ICS.

Just checked myself, glad to see this!
Long press on the network you want to change, click 'Modify network config'
Then you need to change the 'IP settings' pull down box from DHCP to Static, otherwise the rest will remain greyed out.
Hope thats all clear.
I have had the same problem.
Wouldn't is be a better option to have your router reserve a specific IP address for the MAC address of your Note? That way you won't have to change the settings on your Note when you want to connect to a different network.

It would, but that's a bit too technical for most users, as it requires going into advanced settings of your router. Most people don't even know their routers IP address, let alone configure MAC-level access!
Also the default setting is for DHCP on all networks, so the user doesn't have to worry when connecting to any network.
In ICS, they have introduced the option of allowing different IP settings for each network. In previous android versions, you could only have 1 global setting that affected all networks.
I like to use a static IP on my home network, but every over network I connect to requires DHCP. So previously, I had to disable Static IP to access other networks (or use an app called Wifi static!).
It's no wonder I was confused 'Wifi static' was no longer working

did solve it? See post #9 if not
With the long press stuff --> modify network and add the static IP, it seems not work for me. My phone is a samsung galaxy s3.
Do u think the phone need to be rooted to gain superior access privilegde?
And my setup network @home is ad-hoc. So cant reserve any ip on a router.
Kind regards
Takeur

if by "not work" you mean that you can't see an option to change from DHCP to static, it may simply be because the on-screen keyboard automatically appears at that setup page (so you can enter a password) and it obscures the options further down the page.
So, you need to:
1. long press on your connection to go into "modify network config"
2. press capacitive "back" key (or click "done") to reveal the bottom of the page
3. check the "show advanced" tick box
4. scroll down beyond the visible part of the page to get to DHCP setting.

here's my solution on my note ICS
1. long press wifi connection, enter your network password
2. change dhcp to static
3. fill ip address of your device
4. FILL NETWORK PREFIX OF YOUR STATIC WIFI NETWORK (NETWORK PREFIX is substitution of NETMASK ADDRESS (eg 255.255.255.255) see table here ttp://gabbtech.blogspot.com/2012/09/subnet-mask-address-dan-persamaannya.html
5. fill other requirement (gateway,dns,etc)
6. You should be able to click greyed out SAVE button now
at the same time the ip address option in the advance setting is ' unavailable '

Unless there is another computer with DNS Server in your ad-hoc network, you won't get an IP address in ad-hoc. I haven't used ad-hoc on my phone, so not sure about manual IP addressing, but if wifi is connected (connection established) you should get the advanced option.

Not a single reply?
Use your router settings to do it, add a reserved IP address for your nexus 4.
IF you want to do it on the phone just long press the network, click modify, then show advanced options, then change IP address to static instead of DHCP

Thanks a lot
Is there a way I can change my DNS hostname from android-blablabla to something like Nexus-6P? Thanks!
Settings > Wifi > Advanced (three dot menu) > Wifi Direct > Rename
Not sure if that's the one that shows on your router or not. On my router (Linksys WRT1900AC) at least I can assign a friendlier name to devices. I know that's not super helpful .

It is not the same. That is the name that appears when you cast your phone to a monitor. My router also allows your to specify the device name as a reserved IP address. Howver, in the list of connected devices, it still shows the native hostname, only instead of having a DHCP expiration it has a "Forever" slot as a reserved device.
I'm looking for a solution like OP, it's nice when the device name and actual host name line up as opposed to comparing MAC IDs to make sure the Router "Nexus 6P" is the same as my Phone "android-f51q702fc0087dq5".

Look under developer options. There is place you can change your host name.

This is a custom ROM feature (just making things clear).
I always keep my device hostname the same when I get a device. When you reset your phone, a new hostname is assigned, so I keep a copy of my old hostname, and that's the first thing I always do, change my device hostname back to what it was before I reset the device.
The reason for this is because a lot of services, in my case Play Music, checking this hostname. Play Music checks your hostname, and if it is a new hostname, it gets registered as a new one. And you can only register and delete a certain amount per year, and keeping the same one helps not get to the limit.
I know that doesn't answer your question, but I'm just telling why I keep it the same.
If you want to change it and have root, I suppose you can download a "device ID changer" app from the Play Store and change it to whatever you want.
