I am having a sh*t of a day with my Exec experience.
Not only have I lost sound, but I can only connect AS4 once with device and sync, and thereafter, it showing as not connected. And never connects.
I unistalled everything, included all PC Protection. Reinstalled AS4 it works. Reinstalled McAfee stuff, no USB connection.
When I first put Getting Started disc in my machine, it at first was looking for Office 2003 parts, saying they were missing etc.. so I kept cancelling until I got to the normal Getting Started Disc install menu.
I have Outlook 2003.
Any ideas, help, I am going insane.
Check that it's getting an IP address. It looks to your PC and asks for a DHCP address - so check your network connections and see if it's appearing.
If mcAffee has the firewall software included in it, it will be blocking the XDA Exec from making a connection because with ActiveSync 4 and WM5.0 it makes a network connection. You'll have to work out what IP Range the computer tried to assign to the XDA and then allow that to have permission to access your PC with-in McAffee....I could be way off but it seems like the most likely problem.

that's sounds logical, how would I find the ip address
well I'm not entirely certain on that one
*checks something*
Yep that works
open a command window (Start>Run>cmd) and enter
ipconfig /all
this will bring all all the information regarding your computers IP addresses in my instance it assigned 169.254.2.2 for Windows mobile-based device
I'm guessing that's the one you want, but the IP address assigned for your computer may be different. Then all you need to do is go into the trusted zones section of the MacAffee firewall config and allow that IP Address/Address range whichever it gives the option for...hope that helps

But, if his Exec using a DHCP client, doesn't it change the IP, or have the potential to?
True but on multiple connects of my XDA it has always assigned the same IP address, whilst it is DHCP it is probably programmed to always assign the same IP, much like with my router/PC set up my router is acting as a DHCP server but I have it set to always give my PC the same IP address. At the very least I imagine the IP address will always be assigned in the range of 169.254.2.xxx so if it does start assigning random IPs if necessary that whole range could be allowed

** make sure that you have windows xp pro**
1. download this file onto your pda and run it.
2. make sure that if you are using a router the you open up port 3389... it has to be this port and no other
3. on your desktop goto start/settings/control panel/system/remote and click the box that says "allow users to connect remotely to this computer", that is it you don't need to click anything else
4. open up the program and type in your ip address without the port number then username and password - which must match your windows login and password.

All good advice but this may not work if your office PC is behind a firewall / your office network uses Network Address Translation or you need a VPN to access the network. Give it a go and see what happens but if the IP address of your office PC starts 10.0.0 or 192.168 or similar, it is unlikely to work. You will then have to use a remote access service.

Also if your IP's range anywhere within 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255, the you're behind a firewall.

If you're just using 3G/HSDPA you shouldn't have any problems connecting.
If you've got a DSL connection with a dynamic IP address (like mine with Virgin Media) Just register and download the NO-IP software (www.no-ip.com - it's free) then instead of typing in your Ip address on RD you'll put "....no-ip.biz" - or whatever they assign you.
As already stated you HAVE to open up port 3389 on your router and assign it to the relevant pc. This number you will find by entering "ipconfig" in the cmd window. Be aware that if your router gets turned off you could find that the IP address of your computer changes, so you'll have to go back into your router settings and change it to the new ip address for that pc.
I've tested RDP on XP Pro, Media Center 2005 and Vista. I found it to be a little better when the host was a Vista pc - whether this is my imagination or because it is designed with Vista in mind I don't know.

Of course, this only applies if you are not behind a corporate firewall using NAT or other dynamic IP behind the firewall. Also, if it is a corporate network, opening port 3389 may be (a) very difficult to convince your IT dept to do and (b) not very secure!
If one iof the dynamic dns systems works for you, you might try dyndns.org
I want to make a WiFi connection on my school. But I have to make some setting changes. I have the HTC Trinity with WM6.
I have to satisfy to these settings:
- Wlan network name: tue
- Security mode: 802.1x with dynamic WEP keys
- Authentication protocol: PEAP with MSCHAPv2
- Root certificaat: GTE Cybertrust Global Root
Where do I make these changes?
On your's school router or wifi access point in your school
but sadly I have to make these changes on my pda
According to school these are the settings specially made for smartphones/pda

If it is set on your's router in school, then your PDA or smartphone will see these settings automatically
Otherwise look in start-settings(instellingen)-connections(verbindingen)-wi-fi, there you can add new network connection and apply these settings
But that's the problem.. I can't apply these settings.
When I configure Netwerk Authentication I'll come till "Use IEEE 802.x network acces control"
When I select this and choose for PEAP and I want to change the Properties I get this message:
Warning
Cannot log on to the wireless network. This network requires a personal certificate to positively identify you

Where can I make and/or change this personal certification?

Hi,
So,
1. You want to connect wirelessly to your School's network, right? .......and that
2. The network settings that you stated in your opening post were given to you by your School Network Administrator, right? ......finally, that
3. Your School Network Administrator had indeed, ACTUALLY given authority to your device (HTC Trinity) in the Access Control List to access the school's network, right?
In that case, he (the School Network Administrator) MUST have assigned an IP Address to your device (or entered its MAC address and configured it as such, inside the router/wireless access point.
Did you make sure that he did actually do so? Ask him to confirm this for you. I'm saying this because if he (the School Network Administrator) hadn't configured your device to have access to your school's network, you'll be wasting your time trying to access it, 'cos as you know, it is a secure network hence, it can not identify your device.
The only way that your device could be identified to access the school's network (never mind the settings provided in your opening post), is only, and only if, it had been configured in the ACL - Access Control List within the router, otherwise every Tom, **** and Harry would simply access the school's network, willy-nilly and wreak all sorts of havoc. See what I mean?
If indeed, he (the School Network Administrator) had given you access to the school's network, just ask him or her to give you the IP Address that he assigned to your device and then enter it in the Wi-Fi configuration of your network in Trinity, as you had been doing and everything should work fine - no more headaches!!
BOTTOM LINE:
If there is no entry for your device in the Access Control List of the school's router/wireless access point, you've got no chance 'cos your device would be refused access at all times because the router/wireless access point does NOT recognise it.
You ask him (the School Network Administrator) to give access to your device - either by using it's MAC address or IP Address), then you'll be laughing 'cos then you'll be able to have access, wirelessly.
I do hope that this gives you pointers to help solve your problem 'cos that's the only solution that I can offer.

Sorry to bring alive an old post, but I have been receiving the exact same message requiring a "personal certificate." What I don't understand is that the network prompts me for my username/password - each device is not set up individually. For example, I can take my laptop to school and connect to the network as long as I have my username and password. What is the difference between XP and WM6 in this respect? Why can't I just enter my user/pass on my Wing and connect just like I would with a laptop?

This has bugged me for a long time with Windows Mobile 5/6 & 802.1x with PEAP (WEP & WPA/WPA2). You should in theory be able to just use MSCHAPv2 and a Username/Password to authenticate yourself but there seems to be no way of turning off the client checking the servers validity - i.e. having a valid & trusted certificate (you can disable this checking with Windows XP's 802.1x supplicant). So all you should need is the servers public certificate installed on your device.
When I was testing this a while ago I had some sucess but the 'personal certificate' message was a problem. In the end I just enrolled the device with the domains CA and have a personal certificate installed (as well as the CA's certificate which gets installed at the same time).
Enrolling for certificates is much easier now with Windows Mobile 6 and ActiveSync 4.5 since you can enroll the device from ActiveSync on the host PC.

Interesting, Andy,
I haven't yet had the chance to test this change yet, but a few searches has turned up a registry key that we can add -
(quoted from somewhere on the internet)
"The only thing you have to do is to add a DWORD Regestry Entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MAICHNE-->Comm-->EAP-->Extension-->25
Name:"ValidateServerCert"
Value: 1 to activate Validation, 0 to turn it off"
Have you tried making this change before just registering a certificate? If it doesn't work, do you remember the basic steps for retrieving a certificate from a computer via activesync? If I do transfer a certificate from a laptop, do I need to register the device with the administrator? It seems that everyone from the IT department I've talkd to has no idea what they're talking about.
Ok peeps i downloaded the remotedesktop.cab from one of the threads in the forum. I installed it but i cannot connect to my pc. Here are the fields and what i put in them.
computer - i put my ip address
user name - i put my admin acc name not the pc name. Is that correct?
password - well yeah....
domain - i leave this one empty, cause i don't use one.
Now, when i click connect...the following appears.
connection status ok
Cannot connect. Likely
reasons are:
1. Specified computer name
or ip does not exist.
2. A network error occurred
while establishing the connection.
Does aynone know what the problem might be???
I use win xp pro sp2
I got a router.
In the field i put the ip thats shown when i visit one fo the "what is my ip" sites LOL.
I am making this reply through my remote desktop connection...
Computer IP addr. is the Actual IP address of you Desktop computer...
UserAcctount info: use the Administrator's user name and password
Domain not needed if not on a enterprise network!
Make sure on your Desktop computer under system setting.....
You allow remote connection to the computer.
If you are on your computer when you connect to it with your X1. The screen will "logout the user out" and show it is being remotely access!
hth,

The above post was assuming your are accessing through your local net!!
If you are accessing through the INTERNET is a bit different!!
The Ip Address Will be the One that is display through Whatismyip!!
But you will also have to make an Entry into the "pinhole" list in your router. This pinhole entry will be pointing to your PC your are trying to access!!
So when you access your INTERNET IP address(router) it will direct this traffic toward your PC!!

Well on the local network side, your ip address should be 192.168.xxx.xxx. So access directly through your wifi network, You will need the Local address of the computer.
______________
Then on the Internet side. the router/gateway acts like a smart traffic cop! It directs the traffic from your PC destine for the Internet. Also it redirect response traffic from the Internet to the specific Computer that has made a request on the Internet!!
But remote access is different. You on your X1 is Initiating contact through the Internet to a computer that is behind the Router/Gateway. So for this traffic to be directed to the right computer, a Pinhole is created. A pinhole is essentially a direct route through the router for the Internet traffic to be directed to the correct PC!!
Well on a custom XP install it is hard to tell if just the services were turned off. Or they were actually removed!! In this case it sound like one of the Remote access service like GoToMyPC would be easier. Unless you want to re-install a FULL version of XP Pro!!
All is not loss yet! Also check on MS knowledge-base support site. do a search for this exact problem. There might be a download for the remote access service!!
Good Luck,
Stuart
can anybody tell me how to setup remote desktop from HTC to my PC (I am using Windows 7)
Step by step please guys
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCs4GQma7IQ
With that guide I made it work, good luck.
I did exactly everything in this guide and even set a corresponding exception in the Windows firewall (also tried with Windows firewall off) - but the mobile remote desktop program always tells me there was an internal error... But what the heck could that be?
Dont bother the remote dt program is ****e, im currently using vnc which is a bit better, but rather lacking also.
Is it me or did that video not mention setting up your windows machine to allow connections.
Make sure remote desktop is enabled on your PC and make sure it is allowing connections from computers running any version of Remote desktop(2nd option) third option works between windows 7 machines but wouldn't allow my phone to connect.
Your error sounds like it is being caused by something on the phone end though so i dont know if that will help.
Those with remote desktop working can you get it to go landscape? Mine works fine except i can't get landscape mode. Also anyone know of a app that can send wake up requests to a machine? I have this on my laptop so i can wake my pc over the internet and then log in. Anything similar out there for win mobile?
allowing a connection through windows firewall alone is not helping, if you have other system securtiy programs that also has a firewall. or maybe your router has a firewall too. you should try and forward the right port (3389) in the software of your router.
I opened port 3389 on the router, I activated the correct remote desktop option on the PC (Vista), the IP is right (wrong IP adress throws a different error, so the program gets that far)...
I guess you have Windows 7 Home version
Have you tried using 16 bit high colour option? Mine said it couldn't connect when i turned it down to 256 colours.
Edit: Windows 7 x64 btw
OK on my windows7 x64 ive turned on remote desktop and set it to allow connections (2nd option) and i still cant connect, what do i type in user/pass on the hd2
-ive setup the portforwarding on my bethere box
-tryed both color modes on hd2
does it have to be over wifi or can it be over 3g?
Your user name and password for windows.
You MUST have a password set up on your windows account to be able to use remote desktop. If you don't have a password set up remote desktop and other network related access will not work. I.e using the phone to access shared windows folders.

2. Open a web browser, and type 192.168.1.1 to access your router. If you don't know the default username and password (usually admin/password), Google for it.
3. Enter port forwarding. Add a new entry using your local IP address, and the start/end port of 3389.

my router is a THOMSON TG585v7 and to log into it i need to type http://192.168.1.254 so i did and the only thing like port forwarding i can find is the Toolbox\Game & Application Sharing menu and in their i can type the ports but cant type the local IP address as their no where to add it, ive added a pic that might help you help me
If you are accessing the machine via your wifi(i.e your own network) you should be able to do it without any port forwarding.
So punch in your machines local IP and your username and password. That should work(make sure it is using your WiFi and not still connecting via 3G). If you wanted to be able to do it via 3G/wifi(external network) then you will need to get port forwarding working.
Edit: Port forwarding guide for you. I think this is roughly the same version of router you have just different branding.

so in the last part of the setup i need to manually define it as the local ip, still not working if that's what i should do
The last step is applying the forwarding to your PC. So you should be able to pick your PCs name in the drop down box.
Have you tried just doing it over your local wireless network(forget about port forwarding for a minute.) Enter the local IP(could also just try entering the name of the PC though im not sure if that works) of your PC as the computer then your user name and password.
Hi,
Using a HTC HD2 I am trying to access my home network via WIFI (WPA2/PSK - AES). Some of it works, some of it doesn't and I was hoping some of you would be able to point me in the right direction:
I can connect to intranet pages (for instance utorrent web interface) via IP, but not via hostname.
I cannot connect to network (smb) shares at all, either via IP or hostname.
A program which requires the hostname to work (since I use it over Hamachi VPN as well as locally and don’t want to change the IP based on how I use it) does work over Hamachi and not over WIFI.
I'm quite confused
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Elco
Sounds like your DNS isn't working. Do you have custom DNS servers configured in the "Name Servers" tab of network card config?
Yhanks for responding!
It should get it from DHCP (though I have tried assigning a static IP and dns, but this gave the same result)
Also, I have another older win mobile device, and with the same setttings it does allow me to access the network shares (by IP and hostname)
I've combed all settings regarding wifi and network, but since they are the same I am guessing it is probably a different at the registry level?
The HTC HD2 does have 2 broadcom wifi adapters mentioned though, a normal one and one with a DHD postfix.
Cheers,
Elco
@Talisman_: same problem here. have you solved it?
Exactly same problem on xperia x2. I just set on manual temporary.
Are you using Hamachi on your phone?
Did you have this problem prior to installing Hamachi?
The reason being is Hamachi installs a network interface which exists whether or not Hamachi is running
You may want to check your Data Connection settings and see if it has applied the "requires a proxy" setting
What are you using as your DNS server though, that is the question.
If it's your broadband router, then chances are it won't be able to serve DNS requests for internal devices (ie computers on your home network).
If that's the case, you'll need a proper DNS server (get an old PC and install Linux) and create a local domain such as home.local, or if you've got a registered domain, you can even set it up the same (domain.com for instance) just tell the DNS server it's the domain master.
It's been yonks since I played around with Linux so I can't tell you how, much easier with Windows Server
Some people advise against using the same public domain name as an internal domain name, but it just means you add A records for any public addressess such as WWW.domain.com or mail.domain.com if it's accessable outside your network as well as inside.
Alternatively, if you're only going to be accessing them via the home network then you could try adding a few hosts to your registry (use the windows calc or similar to convert each IP address number to Hex)
http://windowsmobilepro.blogspot.com/2006/04/etchosts-file-equivalent-in-windows.html
As always, you modify the registry at your own risk.
