I have changed my default remote desktop port on some servers, but Remote Desktop that comes with WM5 doesn't like that i connect to
example: hostort
Is there a way to go around that?
Open the PocketPC registry and navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default
Add a DWORD named Server Port and enter the decimal port number of the new Remote Desktop Listening Port. Exit the registry editor program and soft reset the PocketPC. The PocketPC will now connect to the Remote Desktop host using the new listening port.
Quoted from here.

Is it possible??? I have tryed several things... Activesync 4.0 first won't install on windows 98, but I got activesync 3.0 to install. Then I hook my Cingular 8125 up through USB and clicked next for activesync to find my phone and it dosen't find it. Now I haven't tryed USBswitch... and If that does work I need it in Cab for pocket install, but if that doesn't... then read on....
I even went as far as to download daemon tools to see if I could emulate windows xp, but sad to say, the newest version dosen't support windows 98 anymore (sound familiar??) Good, because I downloaded a down graded version of daemon tools and got a wear error saying it can't find my SIDI driver or something like that (LONG story short and 3 hours later I'm fed up with my emulation tricks, my outdated computer, and all the ERRORs that come with It.....)
If there is some way I could emulate Xp that would be nice... Or even better, hack my Activesync 3.0 to make it able to find my 8125 (then again is it even compatable with windows 98??) Or maybe an alternet way or progy to access my cingular through USB. would sooo tickle the fancy (and maybe the fancy of others in my situation too)... Who knows, any suggestions or tips, or articles or anything would much be obliged.

First, the bright side of the situation: your portable device is probably more stable than the desktop PC.
I think the most you're going to get to happen is moving a miniSD card from the one to the other.
ok, this is wat i got off ms's site

as u can c, activesync 3.8 is the version thats supported in 98, but from experience, USB support in 98 wasnt that good :?
maybe if u have BT or IR u could sync with that =S
or u could try upgrading to xp.
FYI:
End of support for Windows 98 and Windows Me
July 11, 2006 will bring a close to Extended Support for Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows Me as part of the Microsoft Lifecycle Policy. Microsoft will retire public and technical support, including security updates, by this date.

I didn't think Windows Mobile 5 supported anything below AS4.0.
Does it even work with 3.x?
Hi,
i have a problemi: i need a receive a notification when a pocket pc
(windows mobile 5) is PPP network connected. I write a example
application that intercept the WM_NETCONNECT message. Under Windows CE
5.0 PB Emulator work and i can detect, with this message, when the
device is connected with PPP protocol. Under the Pocket pc (WM5) the
application don't work, i don't receive this message . Is it possible
detect when device is connected with PPP protocol under Pocket Pc
without polling but with callback/event notification ?
Thanks, ciao

Hi,
I need to start a program on my PC from my XDA (connected by ActiveSync 4.5). I'm running Windows Mobile 5. How could this be done?
Regards, Gerrit
therminal services
and vnc
are 2 ways to do it
I don't want to see the PC's screen on my PDA (will be very slow anyway). I just need to be able to start a program (for example "notepad.exe") on the PC. I don't have to see the program on my PDA. It just has to run on the PC. That's all!
Regards, Gerrit
I think it is only possible to start an application on the device
from desktop with RAPI. The other way is not possible with
ActiveSync. You can write your own server that runs on the desktop
and a client on the ppc. Then send commands from pda client
to the server that starts then your application.
Houser
Hello Hauser,
Problem is that the command has to be possible both with ActiveSync (cable) and when syncing with GPRS/UMTS (wireless). Could this be done with RAPI?
Regards, Gerrit
If you use GPRS then you cannot use ActiveSync.
ActiveSync is only possible if you connect via USB.
RAPI can only be used from a desktop application to communicate with
the pocket pc, copy files, start applications on the PPC,...
So what do you want to do exactly with your app?
Houser
when connected to the pc using activesync or wifi or bluetooth PEN
make a normal network connection
and it should be transparent for the applications as they just see the connection
Hi Houser,
1. My PDA application exports lines from a PDA database to .CSV files.
2. On my PC I have to run an import & conversion program to load the exported lines into a server database
3. My PDA has to import other (new) files into the PDA's relational database
With USB syncing this works fine. I now have to run the PC's program manually. I want to control the whole process now from my PDA.
That's all...
Regards, Gerrit
If I remember right, a drive symbol is mounted on "My Computer" when Active Sync connects the device, right? So has anyone already tried to use an autorun enrty (autorun.inf like on CDs) on the PocketPC?

So ok.
I would do this as follows:
1) Write a desktop application that uses ActiveSync RAPI to start you PDA export application
2) Then in your desktop app use RAPI to copy the file from PDA to desktop
3) In your desktop app start the import & conversion program with the file from the pda
4) If you want to import a file to the PDA database you can copy with RAPI to pda and then start with RAPI the pda import application
So I would not go on searching how to start a app on desktop from pda. Let the desktop application handle it.
Houser
Hi,
Problem is that a technician on location (at a customer or at home) should be able to synchronise, without going to the office. In other words: the PDA is the device that starts the communication process, not the PC! This is also what is so problematic...
Regards, Gerrit
about autorun on the pda then i dont think it will work havent made the test
but modile devices like
gmail drive
digicams
and such dont get drive letters
and i think only devices which get drive letters can use
autostart because those other devices dont seem to be "really" connected untill one click on them
you could write a service for the pc which would be listening for a network connection from the pocketpc
you could make it so it would run any applications you told it
you could give it a parth and arguments
then as soon as you got a network connections by what ever means your pda could start sending commands to the pc which it would then execute as in start programs
of cause it does require you to code a bit of c++ or .net but not tooo complex stuff if one is a programmer
Two points:
The PDA is not mounted as a drive, ActiveSync controls all access to it (even though it is integrated in the explorer) so autorun.inf can not work.
Redugar is right, for you purpose - accessing the PC directly and by remote, you need a little server app on the PC. Just use windows sockets to listen to a connection.
On the PPC side you can use the constant ppp_pear when the device is synced to get the PC address and the regular IP (I assume you have a static IP) for access via GPRS.
I did something like this a couple of years back - a server on the PC that checks a page for updates and provides them to a device when it connects and asks for them.

You might want to look into this company http://www.salling.com/Clicker/windows/scripts.php

Their software controls programs such as PowerPoint, WMP etc, might be a script out there that you could modify to open any program. Connects via BT and WiFi. Works real nice with my wizard with my MCE Dell running Toshiba BT Software.

Yeah. Salling Clicker is a great software for starting or ending programs on your pc using bluetooth or wifi! the first time i installed the software,i was amazed and i played a prank on my sister.she thought that there was something wrong with the computer because it started itunes/powerdvd on its own... and i was in the other room controlling my pc..hahaha...
i've Been looking for a "script" that'll allow you to open any file/program (so are a lot of people who use salling clicker)..been following it up and As far as i know, there is still no Salling Clicker "script" that allows you to open any program on your pc.. you have to make a "script" specific to the program you want to start/control/stop.

What?
ActiveSync can work through Bluetooth or Infrared as well.
Also, why go through all of this trouble? Run an SSH server on the PC. SSH into the PC.
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator> start "C:\Program Files\My Program Path\My Program.exe"
Doesn't this do what you want?
Can this device do arp spoofing with any kind of application?
No,It's same as normal computer operating system like winxp
Win XP can do ARP Spoofing.
yes, it could, should you decide to invest the time in writing your own application to do so
If i got a copy of VB.net Windows Mobile SDK, can that handle packet sending?
