Series 60, the operating system running on many smartphones, sometimes reports the mac address of the wireless network adapter on the phone incorrectly (enter *#62209526# and press send/call to find the reported mac address).
I think the only consumer device this will affect at present is the Nokia N80, as this is the only model with built-in WiFi.
The good news is I’ve hacked up a quick form to fix incorrect mac addresses. If you’re having trouble accessing a network that uses mac address access lists, put the reported address in the box, click Go and see if it works using the new mac address.
Adam,
I used your “mac address fixer” to convert the mac address as reported by my Nokia E60. From “00:15:DE:3E:25:C3″ (reported) to “01:5D:E3:E2:5C:03″ (fixed). When I entered the fixed IP address in my Linksys gateway it comes up with a message saying:
“The second character of MAC must be even number: [0,2,4,6,8,A,C,E]“.
I haven’t made a connection yet using the Nokia, so I don’t know what the Nokias real mac address is. I wasn’t even aware of the bug, so thanks for providing the info & fix!
Hello Adam,
until now my N80 only connected to my router with mac-filters disenabled. Using your fix it works fine now.
Thank you for this faboulous and simple fix!

Hi Adam,
I used your mac-fixer but the resulting mac-address is not valid according to my belkin router as it is a multicast address. So, I still can’t make a connection.
