Remote connection to home PC or work

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.

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.

Access to 127.0.0.1

Hello, I developed a webserver for the pda, but I cant access http://127.0.0.1.
I found a patch for the OS to circumvent this, but that not what I like.
Is there any other way to gain access to a localhost device even no other network is running?
Sincerely ..

Get a tool like this vxUtil from http://www.cam.com/vxutil_pers.html
Use this tool to identify your IP address of "Serial on USB" (assuming you're connecting the pda via USB cradle), the IP address for "Default Gateway" will take you to access your desktop website instead of 127.0.0.1

>the IP address for "Default Gateway" will take you to access your desktop website instead of 127.0.0.1
I did not ask for the desktop website, I run the webserver on the pda! I think you did not understand me at all. Sorry :-/,
here again:
I got a webserver running on the pda, with no usb no bluetooth no connection at all, and I can not access 127.0.0.1 or localhost without a patch for the pocket ie, ...

Sounds strange.
Does it work if you have an active GPRS session?

Yes it does, and its a know problem, cause all pocket pcs with 2003 have it ...

Using a Port other than 3389 for Terminal services ?????????

Hi,
Is it possible to use a port other 3389 with the Terminal services client?
Or is this hardcoded into the client ?
Thanks
Rob

No its not possible. Also the server always runs on port 3389.

REALLY!
Please explain ? As we run a multiple server network with Terminal services running on various port from 3385 up to 3399. We also change the default port on our workstations (XP prof) from 3389 This a well documented item. You then specify in Terminal server client:- IPORT. Example: 84.234.456.789:3396. Use it everyday!
Rob

two ways that you can do this:
1: on the host machine, regedit to here:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp
Find "Portnumber" and open. Click on "Decimal" and change to the desired port. The PC will now listen on your specified port number for incoming terminal service requests.
2: If you have a router you can use port redirection. (virtual servers etc)
Specify the ext port number (eg. 3390) then the int port number (3389) then the IP address of your target PC. This will redirect all traffic recieved on port 3390 to port 3389 to your specified internal IP address.
To access remotely for example using remote desktop connection, enter your IP address (or dynamic DNS address) followed by :3390
Hope this helps

Thanks Codiac,
So you can't specify the port in terminal services client connection box (as per a Full size PC runing XP Prof) only as a registery change.

Your piccy is right, you can enter IP addresses followed by a port number.
eg: 81.33.44.55:3399
The problem with, for example XP Pro is that it will only listen on 3389 by default, the registry change is necessary if you want to access more than 1 PC on a network.
As per your piccy, once you have edited the registry to a chosed port, the PC will then listen on that port (eg. :3390).
I personally use Option 2, this requires no change to the registry of a PC, the router does the redirection for you.
for example:
PC 1 = 192.168.0.1
PC 2 = 192.168.0.2
To access PC 1 allow a rule in the router to pass port (external) 3389 to (internal) 3389 to 192.168.0.1
To access PC 2 allow rule in router to pass port (external) 3390 to (internal) 3389 to 192.168.0.2
this way, when you open the remote desktop connection client and enter say, 81.44.231.22:3390 the router will see 3390 and redirect it to 3389 straight to 192.168.0.2
Hope this helps

Hi Codiac.
I think I'm confusing you here. Port change, at the host is not the problem. Either by router redirection, or registry edit of the listening port of the HOST. Its the CLIENT in Win mobile 5 wont let you specify a port when connecting to a host. You can with a registery edit of the Win mobile client on the Pocket PC, change the port, but not at connection IP 'time'

[Q] Help me access my server over the internet

I want to visit this page on my server
http://192.168.2.53:8080/tma/majBtm/androidToDesktop
Since it's a dynamic IP, the above mentioned IP address keeps changing everytime I reset my connection. I replaced the IP with a DynDNS hostname I created
http://tmagrails.dyndns-ip.com/tma/m...droidToDesktop
However, I'm unable to access this page from a remote machine (any machine outside the server's network)
I was asked to forward the port 80 to 8080. I'm unable to do so as there is no port forwarding option in my router page. I use a UTStarcom UT300R2T modem/router.
Is there any workaround for this?
Please advice.

This IP Address is a local-only IP address.
IP addresses in the 192.168.x.x ranges cannot be accessed from the internet.
You need to port forward a particular port on your router, and map that to the internal address. Your router has an external facing IP address, and you need a router that supports DynDns in its control panel.
You can find your external IP via www.whatismyipaddress.com but to get this working you need to be able to setup an incoming port forward, so port 8080 is directed by your router to your PC. The DynDns is currently pointing to
tmagrails.dyndns-ip.com (117.192.174.157)
So you just need to somehow forward all incoming connections to port 8080 onto that desired computer, and give that machine a static IP address on the internal network via DHCP pre-allocation.

Windows Server 2012 <-> Android via SMB and 3G network

Hello,
first of all, this is my current working setup:
- PC with Windows Server Essentials 2012 with shared folders (AD + domain) connected to ADSL router TPLINK W8970B (with active dynDNS account)
- Sony Z3 Compact (Android 5.1.1.), non-rooted
- ES FileExplorer and Solid Explorer
Now to my problem: I can connect to my PC shared folders (via ES and SE with exact local lan IP of PC) only when I`m using wifi on Z3, but for connecting to PC via 3G I`m trying using exact dynDNS address and enabled SMB ports in router forwarding to PC (445 and 139 TCP/UDP) with no success. Firewall in PC has those ports enabled, I can ping dynDNS address from 3G network too. What am I missing ? Or is it not possible at all ?

Seems it wont work according dynDNS : dyncommunity.com/questions/35068/dyndns-and-smb.html
Wheras SSH and HTTPS are normal internet capable protocols, SMB server access protocols are MS proprietary and not designed to work over the public internet as such, but designed for use within LANs. For example, Windows server expects to see an internal (AD) network name which you cannot provide when using a Dyn DDNS hostname.

But, I tried using direct IP address from dynDNS and it works then. At least some workaround...
