remote control ma ppc with ma pc via gprs??? how??!??
is there no way to control my pc from my ppc!??!!?
something like remote desktop(windows have..) ??
Most remote control software works using a regular network connection through active sync.
This should thus be possible with pretty much any nework connection, including gprs. Basically just dial gprs, get your phone's ip address, and use that for remote control. I think. In theory. But not fast.

Hang on. what are you asking? control you PPC from your PC or vice versa.
Either way, look into VNC.

no, i just want to control my pc From my ppc. can terminal services in programs do something for that??
another program?

I would have thought so.
You'll need XP pro for the remote desktop server to be built in though. XP home does not have it.
Failing that, VNC, look here: http://www.cs.utah.edu/~midgley/wince/vnc.html
You can do this easily via GPRS. Simply connect to the internet via GPRS, and then start up Terminal Services Client on the ppc, insert the ip address of your pc, and step through the authentication dialogue. Of course you will have to make sure that your pc (running WinXP) has World Wide Web Services installed, so as to enable Remote Desktop via the internet.
Hope this helps.
i tried via terminal services , add my ip(of the pc) open the port from router, from my coputer click the allow other people to connect to this pc(also there i added ppc's ip) but could connect. i got an error from ppc.
i am using win xp pro .

can u tell me which file? that one which sais PocketPC win2003?
i download that and a error came out
Did you enter your PCs IP address as seen on the PC, or did you enter the external internet IP? They are 2 different numbers, and regardless of whether you have ports open or not you wont be able to connect directly to the PCs network IP address.
If you're using an ADSL router then go to the configuration or settings page and find out what your internet IP is.
Re VNC
I've used this one quite well:
http://www.parystec.demon.co.uk/pt_vnc2.htm
But there are other free versions I imagine.

@JuNiOr_Gr
Which Port did you open for Terminal Services?
Did you then connect to you Internet IP from your PPC or to your local IP?
If you use VNC you have to open the VNC Port (default 5900).
Ist there a software firewall (e.g. XP Firewall) installed on your PC?
For terminal services to work you must have a password set on your XP account. Otherwise it should work with port 3389 forwarded. I use it fine from my Magician over GPRS.
Only thing is that it's a shame you don't seem to be able to turn off desktop background, themes etc that you can from the Desktop version of Terminal Services Client as this would improve speed.

How can i connect my home pc or work pc through my Pocket PC through GPRS.Is it possible by any software.
Yes, this is assuming you have set your home PC to accept incoming Remote connection, and selected which users has the permission.
From your Pocket PC, you can use Terminal Service Client:
- First of all, you must know your home PC's IP Address.
- Launch Terminal Service Client, key in your home PC's IP Address, click connect.
- Once connected, you'll be prompted username and password to log in.
- Always use a different username than the one already logged on, as this will log the current desktop session off.
Well, since most of us use Dynamic IP DSL connection, the IP address changes everytime the PC reconnects. Therefore I have made a small Windows program to be run in the home PC to constantly update its current IP address to a website. So, from anywhere you can log on to this site (just bookmark the site) and check your home PC's current IP address. If you're interested, you can try my program, it's free.

Make sure, your XP Pro is set to accept Remote connection, from your XP Pro PC:
- Start > Control Panels > System > Remote > Remote Desktop
1) Check "Allow users to connect to my computer"
2) Click "Select Users" to add users which you allow for Remote Connection. * Strongly advise you to set password for each username
Once this is done. You can check your PC's IP address:
- Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt
1) Type in ipconfig
2) You will the various IPs for your PC.
If you want to test using your Pocket PC, use your PC's LAN IP. (Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection).
However when your on WiFi or GPRS, you'll have to use your PC's WLAN IP, which you can obtain by using my program I mentioned earlier.
Thank you so much.But can itry to browse my PC dekstop while i have connected to Intenet and using Active Syn while i have docked my Pocket PC in the cradle.

Yes, you can. However, you'll still use your home PC's LAN IP when the PocketPC is docked in the cradle.
I have come out with the guide on how to use MyLastIP client and thet website:
http://www14.brinkster.com/MyLastIP/guide/guide.asp
Its realy nice job!!As you said to use Home PC Lan IP.I dont have netowrk on Ethernet card no cable pluged in.So i cant see Lan IP address.When I tried POcket PC Terminal its not connecting to Server,i was trying by USB Docked PPC.What to do
I gather your not connected to a LAN nor having an Ethernet card installed.
If you want to try out Terminal Services Client from your PocketPC, you may want to download this program called vxUtil from http://www.cam.com/vxutil_pers.html
Once u get this program, you can view your Pocket PC's current IP addresses. If you want to use TSC via USB cradle, take a look under "Serial on USB", the IP address for its Default Gateway should be your PC's IP address.
VPN?
Great thread for me guys. Really helped a lot. Now I can use Terminal Services to remote control my VPN Server which has the public internet IP address.
Next, however, I need to remote operate one of the workstations on my VPN. I tried logging onto the VPN through GPRS that worked. I can TS remote the server, but cannot connect to the workstation. After connecting to the VPN I tried TS with the workstation ip (local network ip of 168.192.xx.xx All I got was a could not connect server timed out message. Any ideas?
Thanks
BTW the LAst IP Address web site is a great idea for us that travel constantly. Thankfully my cable modem keeps my IP address fairly static for long periods at a time. But this will make a great backup for those Murphy Law times when I gotta get on and the modem rebooted! Thanks for a great service.
Steve
Did anybody tried J-Desktop to access via Pocket PC?

Could it be a built-in or personal firewall installed on the workstation? or maybe the workstation's port for Remote Desktop is not opened?
VPN
No, no firewall and remote is open. In deed, I have VNC running on the workstation and after logging on to the vpn i can remote the workstation using vnc viewer. but i hate the interface compared to TS and don't really want to run another server if not necessary. btw i can run the workstation from my xp laptop using remoe desktop connection after logging ono the vpn
thanks for any tips.
steve.
I would like to use the built-in terminal services client to connect to one of our servers using the GPRS/VPN connection I am able to establish.
The problem is as follows:
I can establish the GPRS/EDGE connection to the internet. I then connect to the VPN and it shows that both connections are connected and data is running over the connection. I can ping the servers IP address, but as soon as I try to connect through the TS Client, it disconnects the VPN.
Has anyone been able to get this to work?
Be sure that your terminal server name does not has dots in the name. WM5 thinks that any name with dots is from Internet, and any name without is the Intranet ("my work network"). So, if you try to connect, for example, to the server named trm.company.com, WM% decides it is on the Internet and drops МЗТ connection.
To fix it: go to "Settings" -> "Connections" -> "Advanced" tab -> "Exceptions..." button, and add the server name with dots to the "Work URL" list.
If it helps, please, let us know here.
Thanks.
I have tried you recommendations and now the VPN does not disconnect. I think their must be some security enabled on the terminal server as I still can't connect. I think it must be something to do with Citrix or the encryption level on the server. I will investigate further.
Can you explain me waht is Terminal Services Client? (Any screenshot?)
Can I use it with my Jamin and laptop with USB cable or WiFi?
Many thanks!
The terminal services client is an application which is included in the ROM of most PDA phones. It allows you to connect to a terminal server from you PDA much like you would normally do it from you workstation using Remote Desktop. Remote Desktop Client = Terminal Services Client
If you go to Start, Programs on your PDA you should see the application listed there.
You can either do one of the following to use the client.
1. Connect you Jamin to you PC using the USB. You will need to activate the Modem Link application. Dial the GPRS connection from the PC and then connect to the terminal server using Remote Desktop on you machine.
2. Open a GPRS connection on the PDA (Not Connected to the PC). Open the terminal services client on the PDA and connect to the terminal server.
Great!
The connection must be always GPRS? I'll pay for do this?
Have you some screenshot?

Relaxxx! If you don't know what is it - it means that you don't need it at all
To access aremote desktop you need any IP connectivity: GPRS, EDGE, WiFi, but the desktop you connect to is not a service It can be your home PC or your business server, but it is not a thing you can use as, for example, any web site.
You need to establish a server by yourself or got an account for your company IT guys. You will pay for IP traffic, of course...

I've checked out the remote desktop with Win2000 server, but without VPN, on the Active Sync connection, it is OK. Ensure that your server uses RDP protocol (Microsoft), not Citrix propiertary protocol.

yes, many athena users use terminal services/remote desktop to reach their desktops or servers. You must be able to get to port 3389 (or other port used for remote desktop) on your home or work network.
rermote desktop
can you explane me how i can do that or please email me [email protected].
thanxs very much

Firstly log into your router and open port 3389.
It is best to test your connection with Wifi first as at least then you know you're halfway there!!
On Vista Ultimate (which is the same as mine) enable remote desktop connections to your computer. This is found in control panel/system/remote (tab) on xp - should be somewhere similar on Vista.
You also need to enable a password on your computer's login page.
You should now be able to log into your pc via wifi by entering your pc's IP address (found by entering IPCONFIG on the command prompt) on the remote desktop mobile display.you will need to enter your login name and password below this. There is no need to enter a domain name.
If you have a static IP address you should also be able to login this way over 3G. However if your connection is dynamic (such as with Virgin Media) you will need to go about it slightly differently. register with www.no-ip.com and they will provide a free static address for you. No-ip runs in the background on your Vista pc and you simply login on your pocket pc with the address they provide (rather than 192....laadeedaa) - for example (yourname).no-ip.biz.
Everything should then go hunky dory.

thanxs very much for the interest.i`ll try it.
I have been searching for clarity thru islands of info in the forums as well as the net. Any help directing me would be sweet. I am trying to use my T-Mobile Wing HTC WM6 to control a computer on my home network. I have somewhat knowledge of having the server and client. Have read and installed programs. I want to be at McDonalds *or any wifi spot and log in to home computer. When I have a VNC server running it says the network ip address of 192.168.1.101 but I assume thats because its thru my network. I have went to what is my ip address.com and tried that with the port the server allows in the vnc viewer and had no luck. I think I might be too newb for such an advanced concept. I am somewhat computer savvy to alot of technical terms. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. I use messengers if faster communication is necessary. Thanks in advance to any help or thoughts.

a few thoughts,
1. what version of windows are you running. (e.g Xp Home or vista )
as Vista home basic and premium will not accept a remote desktop connection without a 3rd party hack to make it work only business and ultimate support remote desktop
If on XP home be sure to set allowing of remote desktop sessions to be allowed under the system properties area.
2. do you have a password setup on the user account that you log into windows on if no remote desktop will not allow access.
3. when browsing from a 3rd party network ( e.g mcdonalds or over GPRS/HSDPA ) you browse to your external ip not the dark ip of 192.168.1.x i use dyndns.org so i can just browse to the dynamic domain ip which is my external ip of my home pc
4. since you mentioned a dark ip i can only also assume your using a router at home. this means you either use such as LogmeIn/Hamachi and browse to the home pc's Hamachi IP ( e.g 5.5.100.50 ) or you will have to set a port forward in your router to forward any requests from port 3389 to the local IP of the home pc, ( e.g 192.168.1.100 )
I use static ip's in my router at home to ensire that the port forward will always goto my home pc's internal ip address. My particular router from netgear allows to have the ip of a specific machine be assigned the same ip internally based on it's ethernet adapter MAC address. making no changes required on the pc itself other them standard DHCP.
hope this helps.

1. I am using Windows XP Home. I have allowed Remote Access under the tab Systems Tab.
2. I only have a pw on the prog VNC server on the pc but no passwords for windows *should I? :| ... Then I try VNC Viewer the the Pocket PC *T-mobile Wing.
3. I am reading up on the dyndns.org site. I assume I need the free dns service for those with dynamic IP addresses. *i hope I have that.
4. I have Linksys Bef11s4... I believe I can set static ip's though its tricky for me. I am going to try for the pc I want to connect to. This networking stuff gets a little bit blurry for me. I understand that static means non-changing, therefore the pc to connect to in network will have same ip on restarts and things. I am familiar with the port forwarding options *do i need tcp and udp checked?... again any thoughts definately appreciated...
lastly, Do you have any particular progs you recommend for me to do this concept? I have a few installed, but not sure i need all.. I have pocketputty on pda and wm6 rdc... plus vncvier. On the PC i have VNC CLient and VNC Server *believe I only need server. Thank you for your time Cyberjak
1. Just go to http://www.logmein.com
2. Sign up. It's free.
3. Screw Remote Desktop and juggling internal vs. external IP addresses and DNS.
4. Use/enjoy...no work needed.

Logmein has like 6 choices... I am looking to remote access outside my network... also is this free? I see trials and stuff... thanks for help mjb
have the logme in installed on main and when i use pda it doesnt work...i installed cab and log in fine but when i go to remote the pc it takes my access code and then pops up with error message for menuPDA.html... i cleared history and cookies and tried to make sense of the forums... I am using the T-mobile Wing with WM6.... wierd... willing to try the other way if needed... i guess i could also try loggin thru a pc not home to the remote pc... i believe i saying this remote term correctly but i believe u understand. I am trying to use my PDA anywhere to control home pc.... thanks for help guys... i am willing to try whatever way works...
I've used Logmein on my MDA Pro, Ameo and now on my Vario 3.
You should first try to remote your PC while your sitting next to it. That way you can see any firewall pop ups that may be blocking you.
I have been trying when i am right next to it... I am using my WM6 to connect wi-fi to the internet thru my network.... the pc i wanna control is on my network...
It doesn't matter what network the PDA and PC are on. Logmein uses an internet connection.
yeah, tried a bunch of things to get logmein to work, and it always comes to the page of "403 Forbidden (0x5) menuPDA.html System error: Access is denied. (5)"
checked their forrums too...
guessing i should try going back to client/server manual entry... either way, any advice from you guys much appreciated.... It seems WM6 are known for incompatibility issues with RDC situations.... hoping not the case but...thanks again guys
got logmein working nicely, thank you for the help guys...
Gooer Remote Desktop Service
I am using Gooer Remote Desktop Service(http://www.gooer.com) and it let me access my home PC using laptop or mobile phone.
remote desktop only works, as far as I know, on XP pro & Vista
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357009
I honestly don't know what I'm doing. All I know is that all the things I've tried so far didnt work.
Can someone guide me on how to set this up on my NookColor?
My PC and NookColor share the same wifi connection via an Airport Exteme router. I know that there are two IP Address: one form y router, which I can see on www.whatismyip.com and the other is my computer's which I can see via cmd > ipconfig. So, my question is-- how do I set this thing up? Any step by step procedure?
What have you already tried? Also what version of OS are you using, some versions of windows have RDP kneecapped. Also, where are you trying to view it from?
If you already have RDP going, you can use Wyse PocketCloud to manage the connections through your google account, it's pretty straight-forward.
Personally, I use TightVNC as the desktop client and AndroidVNC Viewer and ConnectBot on the nook. I only use my home computer when at home, so the setup is fairly simple, have AndroidVNC talk to myipaddress using port 5900. Be sure to use the connecting password when you set up TightVNC - also check the character count as you enter it, sometimes it doesn't take all the characters, ie; the password "bob-ismyuncle" is stored as "bob-ismy".
For connections remotely (not on the same network) I first SSH into the machine with ConnectBot, then set up a port forward to localhost:5901 which AndroidVNC then connects to.
Also, has anyone tried NX?
I'll assume you're a windows user?
Make sure RDP is enabled on your PC (google it, really easy to enable)
If BOTH machines are connected to your network... get the PC's IP address (via cmd ipconfig) and connect to it using the RDP port (3128 on Windows)... ex: "192.168.100.199:3128"
If you want to use RDP away from home, you need to configure your router to forward any external connections on the RDP port directly to your PC. Then you'll want to connect using your external (router's) IP address. Ex: 111.222.333.444:3128 => 192.168.100.199:3128 .... then connect to "111.222.333.444:3128"
I like LogMeIn free and logMeIn Ignition great little app. also teamviewer has a free version and free app for android
