I'm trying to set up my new Samsung Omnia II cell phone on my home network. My router is filtering MAC addresses, so I need to enter my phone's MAC address. The phone is running Win Mobile 6.5. Can anyone tell me how to find the MAC address in Win Mobile 6.5?

Thanks in advance,
mrpb
 
Well I got an answer over at the Microsoft Phone Forum. Thought I'd post here in case someone else was looking for the same answer:

Try this path: Settings -> Advanced Settings (Top-right big tab in settings menu) -> System -> Version -> Device -> Scroll down to "Wi-Fi (IEEE 202.11 b/g) under MAC

Running 6.5 Pro on an HTC Touch Pro 2, I find the Wi-Fi MAC at:
Settings -> All Settings -> Connections -> Wi-Fi -> Advanced button -> Advanced tab.

Oddly, on mine, the bluetooth MAC (but not the Wi-Fi MAC), is in All Settings, System, Device Information. Which is where I expected to find the Wi-Fi MAC.
