What SSID did you guys use for your test setup? _The Cloud? I would assume the SSID and MAC are the most basic things we would need to be the same, since it is possible for a US and JP 3DS to streetpass normally.
Just connected using your suggested MAC. Let me know if you now get a streepass using it when you reconnect.
What I would like to know... is how does the data get transmitted from one router to the next, knowing it's a Nintendo Zone spoofed relay? That's the only part I can't figure out. How do the routers know to talk to each other over the internet? There must be some sort of configured inter-connectivity occurring.

The ssid is up to you but the mac MUST be the same.I like what I see here. Can we decide on 1 specific MAC+SSID combo for any further testing to be done?
When i connected earlier using the previously given mac address my ssid was _The Cloud.
When i connected earlier using the previously given mac address my ssid was _The Cloud. Can this cause any problems ISP wise if multiple users have set their routers to the same mac address?
The data is stored at nintendo servers. As soon 3DS detects a Ninendo Zone it requests the StreetPass data stored for that AP MAC address (and SSID?) and sends its own StreetPass data back to server.
That was just a proposal, I'm not changed MAC yet, just experimenting on my Android device. The one used to exchange StreetPass wuth Somebunny was different. The SSID is "_The Cloud".
No I just sent Somebunny my main Android phone MAC, and he spoofed this MAC on a Linux machine, as I understood. Now I'm trying with my old one Android phone to make an AP with changed MAC.Did you use a rooted Android phone w/ a spoofed MAC when you StreetPassed w/ Somebunny?

Are you using your proposed MAC from a few posts ago?
Just got SMAC to try it and I think I know what you mean by the country code. Under "New Spoofed MAC Address" it shows 5 2-digits and in the last field DE (which I guess is the country code). Since it's in "Evaluation Mode" I can't seem to change the MAC to the one I'd want (it tells me "SMAC 2.0 will only allow you to change the MAC Address to "0C-0C-0C-0C-0C-01" in Evaluation mode. Do you still want to change the MAC Address?" which now confuses me a bit, since there seems to be no country code (unless there is one and I just don't see it).My initial theory was almost right, spoofing a MAC address seems to *almost* do the trick - but you also need to spoof a correct WiFi country code. (If you have never heard of this, well, I haven't heard about this either, until half an hour ago.)
€dit: Alright, found Macshift, which is easier to use (and actually works as far as I can see). Changed the MAC of my WLAN stick to 40:53:50:4F:4F:46, got no Streetpass hits (yet) tho, probably because either nobody else tried that or, which I a- HOLY SHIT, I just got a Streetpass hit! That actually works! Hit from "Jimbo from the US-Missouri" with a Donkey Kong hat.

Anyway, does anybody here know of a better (and actually working in free version) software to change the MAC under WinXP? I got an Access Point running already (using ZDWlan which came with my ZyDas stick), which also works for Nintendo Zone.

Believe me, I'm pumped and excited as well! Never thought that actually works!YES! More successes!
I can't wait to get home and try this :-X
You got me pumped SignZ
Oh yeah, _The Cloud (since I'm in Europe). On 3dbrew.org there's a list of Nintendo Zone hotspot SSIDs, pick one for your country and try again. http://3dbrew.org/wiki/Nintendo_ZoneExcellent. However, that is not me. I've just connected again but no green light? Can you think or anything you may have done differently? I assume you used _The Cloud as ssid?
I recommend everyone downloading backtrack.
