hi there......
was just surfing the net and found out this software www.logmein.com all you need to do is register over here and download a software on the pc you wanna access and just install it.....after the installation is complete u can either access your computer from a pda from ne where or you can access it from ne other computer......
Conditions Apply :
the computer you wanna access shud be turned on and logmein software shud be running.
the computer you wanna access shud be connected to the internet.
this is how you can connect to your computer from your pda.
is this safe?
I used to use https://www.gotomypc.com/ a couple of years ago with my original XDA when I was away from the office. It did the job, but it's a bit tedius on a small screen. If you logged in from another PC it was great and I used it daily.
safe as eva it can get becaz u cannot do ne **** if u dun haf the admin username and password for tht windows machine(homepc)
You just have to trust the software.
I don't know these companies, and I'm sure they are all legit. But a bad one could simply send the ip-address, userid and password to a logging machine.
I wonder how do these programs compare to the latest version of PC Anywhere? I think PCAnywhere has a client for the Pocket PC and the plus is that you don't need to pay monthly subscription and that your data is totally safe as it's being tunneled directly to you bypassing any server. Plus Norton seem to have more resources than small companies. I also wonder how does this compare to Terminal Server Client.. Anyone?
yeah i did hear bout pcanywhere neva used it......but i heard tht its good n very stable software.....dunno whether its for free or u need to purchase it n stuff....n as far as pcanywhere hafin a client for ppc tht must be something good n worth looookin at !!
Remote Control
pcAnywhere is not free, but it does work well. You should look at VNC or RealVNC. It's free, and there is a client included in the SE ROM. There is some tweaking necessary for your firewall (if you're running one). I think the ports are tcp/udp on 5800 and 5900, but you should check the included documentation. Both client and server software can be found here: http://realvnc.com/
Terminal services is probably the best over narrow bandwidths like GPRS since it only sends the windows drawing commands to redraw the screen but you need either XP Pro or Windows server to run the server version of the program. I use VNC because I only have Win2k on my laptop - it's slow with screen updates.
VNC for 2003SE/Intel PXA: WHERE to download it??
Regarding VNC client for Qtek 9090, I miss something
(maybe because it is friday and I am getting tired) :? .
Where is it possible to find a VNC client for Qtek 9090?
If I understand well, to run it on a Qtek it has to be:
- either a Win Mobile 2003SE for Intel PXA program, or
- a Java program
Is that true?
And if it is, where can I find one, I don't find anything similar
on the http://www.realvnc.com/download.html .
Thanks,
Anton
any windows CE program will run
on xda's
there are many versions well 3 that i've seen of vnc clients for
windows ce / pda's with pocketpc now windows mobile on them
I did a google search, here's a link:
http://www.pocketpccity.com/software/pocketpc/VNC-Viewer-for-PocketPC-2001-1-2-ce-pocketpc.html
If you are running a v4 VNC server make sure it's in v3 compatibility mode since there is only a v3 PPC client available
Mark, thanks for pointing me to a link with a VNC client!
>any windows CE program will run
>on XDA's
Rudegar, regarding the HW platform, I still think that you have to
have a version compiled for your HW.
:!: However, in the meantime I found the answer at Intel's page
ftp://download.intel.com/design/pca/prodbref/251671-002.pdf
-->
Qtek 9090s (XDAs, and similar) have the PXA263 processor that is based
on Intel XScale technology, and these have the ARM* v.5TE ISA
compliant instruction set.
So a program for ARM will be the right one.

Hi ArticCat, would you mind to make a step buy step explanation on that?
:?:
Thanks in advance.
This works only on Windows XP Professional, NOT on XP Home.
Works with a Wifi card and in the USB cradle, didn't test it yet with an USB BT dongle since mine is in back-order or with GPRS.
PC
- make sure you have administrative rights
- Right-click "My Computer" and choose Properties
- Choose the tab Remote
- activate Remote Desktop (Allow users to connect remotely to this computer)
- the logged on user automatically has access to the pc. If you want to add additional users, click on "Select Remote Users" and add them.
XDA
- goto Programs->Terminal Services Client.
- fill in the name or ip-address of your pc and hit "Connect"
Works fine, but I find the resolution of the XDA II to low to be practical.
Think this would work much better on a Toshiba e800 with 640x480 res.
Enjoy,
Jos
Thanks a lot for the fast response.
Looks like there is something missing, I get a "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection setings, tap setting" message.
There is not very much to configure undet the settings tab, so it's a bit frustrating.
Any ideas?
:wink:
I have no connection configured, just the XDA II in the cradle and it works.
Thanks a lot!
To my surprise it worked as you mention once I tried again. Couldn't figure out what was wrong the first time.
i used the SOTI and yes i can see the XDA screen on the PC.
But i was looking for the same util but the other way round.
i wanna see the DeskTop screen on the PDA
You need this prog: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/downloads/pocketpc/remotedsp_eula.mspx
Allows you to show the display of the pda on the pc-screen and control it with mouse and keyboard.
And it's for free!
yes thats wot the UTIL dose i have now.
but im looking to..
display of the pc-screen on the PDA and control it
This is what you want....

Arthur,
Let's get things clear.
You want to control the pc from the XDA?
Just use terminal services client on the XDA in combination with the remote desktop feature of Windows XP Pro, as described in the earlier postings.
Or use VNC, you can download the client for the pocket pc here:
http://www.cs.utah.edu/~midgley/wince/vnc.html
and the server for the pc here:
http://www.realvnc.com/download.html
Jos
hi jos yes you got it
one problem i have is when trying to connect via GPRS i get the msg NO MODEM AT THE OTHER END ?
Arthur, did you get this sorted in the end.
I was already running the server program on my main pc and downloaded the pocket pc vnc veiwer. Cant get it to work so far tho, is there any settings you have to change on the XDA?
I have Real VNC installed on my desktop system and cant access it through my jasjar web browser its just comes up a blank page, anyone know of a way to access realvnc form the jasjar, it would be soooo coooooll
Thanks
Chris
You have to go into the VNC properties on the PC and click the legacy tab - then tick the Only Use Protocl v3.3 box.
It wont look good though as WM5 uses pixel doubling by default so everything will be big If possible, use the inbuilt Terminal Service client (ie if your PC is running XP, 2003 or 2000 server) or see the below link which tells you how to hack pocketpc apps to enable them for VGA resolution;
http://discussion.brighthand.com/showthread.php?threadid=105793
Good luck!
Alternatively you could get rid of VNC and register with www.logmein.com which works like a dream through my XDA IIi
VNC
Just found this and it works perfectly and is excellent to look at too,
http://dotnetvnc.sourceforge.net/

I am using the .NET VNC Viewer 1.0.1.16.
Was working fine with VNC Server Free Edition, v4.1.1 but settings imported to 3.3.
However, all of a sudden one night - and no settings had been changed - I get a message on my Exec saying "The server is not a VNC server!"
The IPs are the same, the MAC addresses are the same. Nothing changed from one night to the other, yet now I cannot access despite reinstalling the server side software. Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers

Does XP have Terminal Server capabilities?!
How does one run a Terminal Server on XP Pro?
anyone know of a free PCAnywhere software for PPC (tmobile usa MDA)
I don't think there's been a PCA for PPC in years. As far as I know, your choices are VNC or the terminal client that comes with the phone.
can i use the vnc to connect to my desktop outlook? if yes can you please tell me how to do that?
pcAnywhere for PPC
Try this:

Try: z2 Remote2PC - very good for wlan and internet remote your pc
or LogMeIn (www.logmein.com) for remote your pc only via internet.
The second one is free.
Why not just use the Remote Desktop that is standard on your PPC and on your WindowsXP PC?
I know it "isn't all that"...but hey, it does what it has to do, nothing more, nothing less

Dumb question : where is that on the PPC and the PC ?

On your PPC: Go to programs, click on Terminal Services Client (at least that is the name of the program on my Dutch Qtek Rom).
On your PC (to enable Remote Desktop): Click on the Windows Key and the Pause/Break button at the same time. In the upcoming screen select the upper-right tab, enable Remote Desktop.
Note:
If you want to connect not only through your LAN (home network), but also from anywhere in the world, make sure you open port number 3306 in your firewall/router.
Note2:
You can only connect via IP Adress, not via hostname or pointed domain name.
Good luck.
The default port for remote terminal is 3389, not 3309.

PC Anywhere 11.5 for the PPC came out a couple of years ago. It's still a current version buy PCA 12 which should be out soon is better (free Beta version expired this month).
I'll be, ya learn something new every day. Last PCA I saw was that nasty "test" version for Windows CE 2.0 a *long* time ago. I was never a big PCA fan anyway but i didn't see mention of it on symantec's site.

FYI - remote desktop is only available if you have XP Pro, not XP Home. If you have XP Home you're out of luck in this regard.

So this cab allows you to access your pc/laptop from you mobile while out and about... do I have that right? If so that is very handy... woo hoo things just got a bit better...
I use this Remote Desktop for connecting to an internal Server for administrating it with my X1. It works like a charm since this tool uses the whole screen (set "Full screen" & "Fit remote desktop to screen" under "Options" for working at a Resolution of 800x480). From the Windows server a remote installed Putty forwards to the internal linux servers, the remote RDP-Client to the other Windows servers
I love my job
You could also try LogMeIN (www.logmein.com) which gives you access to your system from any pc worldwide over a secured connection.
They offer a free version and also supply an ActiveX Plugin for Windows Mobile (only working on IE, not Opera bytheway).
On your home pc you have to install a small server component then go to www.logmein.com, log in with your account name and voila: you can access the pc no matter if there are routers and/or firewalls in the way. On Desktops it also works with Java if ActiveX not allowed/installed.
Works like a charm....

Win Mobile RDC
if you search the forums there should a cab for win mobile remote desktop client (RDC). works fine on my X1 but I have to use ip-address as of the remote PC to connect as it seems unwilling to resolve the computer name. that might be my wireless config though as its shut down pretty tight!
don't remember the exact post link but a quick search should locatee it for you!
Hi Guys,
After wasting a complete day on all of the different vnc and rdp programmes, trying to control my desktop computer THROUGH the internet WITH my pocket pc (HTC Diamond 2) I thought i'd just ask:
I won't get it to work, and I can't help but think that it's just a lame little thing I've forgotten. Nothing will connect. Logmein and other server services show me nothing. Logmein in particular only shows me a white screen when I try to login to my computer, nothing else...reloading the page doesn't help. The external desktop controller that came with my phone won't connect, due to reasons (the computer is not on for instance) I'm sure are not true.
I have a HTC diamond 2 pocket pc running WM6.1 and network compact frame (latest update) installed (3.5 I think it was.)
My computer runs vista 32bits and I've tried numerous servers and clients but nothing seems to work...
Just a few hours ago I though it might be the fact that my ip ain't static. So I've made a static IP using the portforward.com description for my thomson speedtouch 780 router modem. Tried everything again. nothing...
the only thing I can think of is that my proxy is screwing up all my attempts to connect my two most precious devices through the internet...but shouldn't logmein have passed those settings? (i remember pressing the "don't block" button when windows firewall asked me)
Top of that I've googled my *ss of searching for different kinds of clients, software, programmes and others, usualy being redirected to this forum. I even tried the bible thread about networking and everything, though my mind refused to read the whole thing extremely thoroughly...
To make my request and question very clear:
I want a program that can remotely access my desktop pc through my diamond 2 ppc, mainly for accesing and downloading files and folders I might need for school. Ofcourse full control for audio (so I can start music from my living room) would be nice, but it's not mandatory...
I'm running wm6.1 and have jbed installed on my ppc, and running windows vista 32bits on my desktop computer. I have a static IP and a port setup through my router modem on port 1986.
I've been searching for almost 20 hours with 1 lunchbreak in between....can anyone help me to an easy solution (including a step to step guide)?
thx in advance...
oh yeah, I think i've enabled the "Let other users control my pc" button in the external dekstop control options for vista, but most of the guides and FAQ's say there's another button. -one saying "let other people help me solve issues with my computer by controlling my desktop"
-one saying "let other people connect to my computer, doing whatever the hell they want" (not the actual sentence btw )
vista only shows me the first one, and I have it checked.....
Noone knows anything about this?
I'm also trying to look for a rdp server for vista, but for now it seems non-existent...tried ultravnc, and allthough it works when my diamond2 is connected through USB, as soon as I disconnect my ppc from the PC, it freezes. I did a reboot and tried without usb connected.....nothing....couldnt connect.
the only vnc viewer working on my ppc right now is the one from mocha or mochia.....but it's a trial version. other viewers won't work....
anyone?
LogMeIn with Diamond2 - problem
Hi, I used to be able to use LogMeIn in my old PDA running on WM5. But now after i've gotten HTC Diamond2, I'm unable use my remote access software anymore...
I've gotten my friend to try using his HTC Touch HD and it work too for LogMeIn.
A quick check reveal that our IE could be slightly different version.
Did you have any solution yet?
"Vista 32 bits" is unfortunately not very descriptive. What version is it? Not all versions include Terminal Services.
By static ip, do you mean that your external interface IP is static or that the IP your PC might have on an internal network is static? There's a HUGE difference!
You need port 3389 forwarded to your PC from your router. Enter your external IP address in the RDP client and it will get forwarded properly. Hell, I've got 3389 forwarded to a VM I'm running on my PC and it works great.
Diamond 2 can use LogMeIn
Finally got my HTC Touch Diamond 2 (Topaz) to use LogMeIn. My friend who uses Touch HD and can use LogMeIn easily...
I guess the IE in Diamond 2 is not Pocket IE (PIE).
Procedure:
1) I use this software to toggle IE6 to PIE.
http://discussion.treocentral.com/treo-pro/177752-toggle-between-pie-ie6-free-app-cab-file.html
2) Login to LogMeIn PDA
https://secure.logmein.com/pda
3) Follow normal LogMeIn procedures...
Happy LogMeIn!!!
I use Logmein's Hamachi (that is a VPN software) that give me a direct p2p connection between my HTC fuze any my computer. Then i use remote desktop and use the ip hamachi provides and it work excellent.
PS you need at add you PPC hamachi ip in you firewall
vnc is what I would use it's a good general solution to connect
anything with anything mac, linux , windows you name it and it's free
