Hi guys,

Sabi nila nagkakaproblema nga daw ang WIFI nya kaya parang nag aalalngan akong bilhin kung palagiang nag aask ng WIFI IP of your own CP then next time you access like for example when I was in Starbucks with my friends, anyway she has Samsung Star with wifi but then it keeps on asking for CP’s IP add.. How come? Its weird. So should I get one?

Turns out, they need my MAC address, not my IP. Found it tho, by turning on WIFI -> search -> the WIFI server that shows -> details. It’s under Device MAC. Hope this helps others.

Thanks Patrick. Let me rephrase my question. How do I find my phone’s IP address? My broadband internet service provider limits connections to paying customers only. My notebook can connect WIFI-ly because my notebook’s IP address is registered with them. I need to give them my phone’s IP address so that it too can be registered. Where do I find it? Help please!

Dave In Jeddah,

Provider of what? Internet? You should be the one connecting on them, not them connecting to your phone , that’s the purpose of WIFI. Also, your broadband should be connected to a wifi router so that your samsung star can connect to it.

Help please on setting up WIFI on Samsung S5233W. My provider is asking for phone IP but all I see are zeros (4x).

we just got hold of this unit and quite fascinated by its touch screen capability. our kids says it looks like an i-phone, hehe.
Anyway, is there a PC software that can help store its contacts, messages, calendar, etc.???
Our SonyEricsson is using the MyPhoneExplorer as its PC based application (SMS, contact, calendar, file management, etc.)

I got the WIfi version and its really cool. Plus, I like the touch screen coz unlike LG and Nokia, its easier to use quite similar to Iphone. What I dont like though (maybe I haven’t figure it out yet)is that I can’t change the message tone. We are like 3 in the office with Samsung phones with the same message tone. I got the silver one with free silicon case, umbrella, bag and screen protector.. (at least there’s a freebie.) And yup, it’s 11k in Samsung Megamall. It’s a good choice for your 1st touch screen phone.

I heard they just came out with a WIFI capable version this season, it’s about 11k I think. Planning to get one for my self this Christmas.

There are 2 types of Samsung 5233- 5233S and 5233W. The 5233W is wifi ready…

Exhumed, 5233 is the higher version of 5230…

Where does the stylus come? The pack of 5233 that have bought provides a big stylus separately.I could not find a slot to keep it in the phone.
