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;

Good luck!
Alternatively you could get rid of VNC and register with www.logmein.com which works like a dream through my XDA IIi

Just found this and it works perfectly and is excellent to look at too,

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

the remote desktop client on my vario ii connects to my work desktop perfectly using our office vpn but it is rubbish! the screen doesn't scale well at all or provide any kind of zoom out function.
I have a vnc client which performs much better but it won't connect over the vpn it only works when connected directly to the office network.
forwarding ports is out of the question. so my question is this.
is there a vnc client for pocket pc which will work over vpn or is there a way to make the remote desktop client less rubbish
also are there any apps out there that will let me browse my work network over the vpn. resco doesn't seem to be able to do it even the ftp client won't work.
am I missing something about vpn connections as it seems the only two apps that work over one are activesync and the remote desktop client.
Did you tried to acces domain controler throught the VPN? If yes it is normal that it doesn't work; Domain controler require security enhancement in auth that pocket devices cannot deliver yet. The only way I know is to reduce the security enhancement by using the GPO on the concerned servers; but this is far of being a clean fix.
Just trying to use connect to a vnc server on my workstation. btw our domain controller is the exchange server and active sync works fine
Active sync & exchange do not use the integrate authentification & kerberos; it uses a plain text auth (crypted with the SSL certs), that's why it works. Even if you are on the LAN you will not be able to access your domain's controller shares because of security enhancement.
This is far from solving your issue; but I just wanted to make it clear. Concerning your issue I can't help you at the moment, I still didnt tried the VPN & advanced networking.
btw, good luck
I have set up a vpn on my home computer, no domain, and can't access shares or a vnc server on that either.
Hi Stemill, I seen your other post about the vpn issues with Resco also, I have heard in the past about vpn issues using the [email protected], are you using [email protected] or [email protected]?
I use the terminal/remote client on a daily basis, and it does blow, vj on the board here has made an app that allows fullscreen with the terminal client, and theres a Mocha remote desktop client that supports scaling but no fullscreen, both of which have their own quirks. The scaling makes the text impossible to read when its even at 25%
I have been working on connecting to the remote desktop on mac with vnc, and I've gotten as far as an error on authentification, so I know its possible outside of a home network, but I don't have a clue about buisness situations..exchange or vpn's.
I not even 100% positive about the wap issue, I just seem to remember reading something about it in the past.
Sorry I wasn't of much help, also I kind of have a question for you, I see you mention activesync, you're not activesyncing over an internet connection are you?, I'm working on installing apps that I don't have a .cab for over an internet connection, but the best route I had figured out was to install to a ftp share and then grab the .cab from there with Resco.
Best of luck to you.
Hi there.
I'm on t-mob in the uk. They have a 3g network with full internet access so i'm not using wap at all.
Thanks for the tips about the remote client tweaks. Do you have a link?
I'm using activesync to connect to my works exchange server to sync email and calendar. Pretty sure its not possible to sync over the air to a pc without using exchange. You certainly won't be able to grab remote files via activesync.
If we could figure out how to get apps to work over vpn you could set one up on your pc and (theoretically at least) browse its contents using resco without having to bother with ftp.
If it's not possible to get stuff working over the vpn then you've probably found the best solution already. use ftp or setup a webserver on your pc and host the cab files on that. pocket ie seems to let you install cab files directly from a link.
btw which vnc client are you using on your phone?
Hi, I forget a lot of the time that people here have so many different carriers, sorry.
Here's the link to vj's terminal addon app
http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJFullscreenTSC
And here's the link to the Mocha remote client app
http://www.mochasoft.dk/rd.htm
I used .Net vnc when I was able to get the authentification error
http://www.freewareppc.com/docs/netvncviewer.shtml
I think my problem on the authentification was with the apple remote desktop itself, I read about somethin in the authentification being non standard and sometimes the free vnc viewers don't work..but that was also pc to pc related, the same makers of the Mocha remote desktop also make a vnc client..that was gonna be my next try, I just haven't gotten there yet.
I inistally set up my pc to be able to remote to it from my phone and access aol chatrooms..well mainly one I have hung out in for years, then realized if I set up a server, I could install apps that I couldn't find in .cab form over the net with it, I used to have windows server 2003 set up with IIS(webserver) and the streaming media services, I'm wondering now if the windows streaming media really works with the pocket windows media, and if I could even use it with my gprs/edge connection, I'm still waiting on 3G, suprisingly the remote desktop isn't too bad on gprs/edge.
I'm currently waiting to get a new hard drive before I can really get to work, I'm testing on an old messed up xp install, and half the time I can't even access "my computer" or open folders without it crashin explorer.
Hi. Is there any alternate application for TSC on WM5? I am using it to connect my PDA to Remote Desktop via GPRS. That's not problem but my display has limited resolution (QVGA) to view all content of the remote desktop. I need some function to modify the resolution of Terminal Computer (like standard Windows XP Remote Desktop apllication). Thanks.
Why not use VNC or LogMeIn etc?
You can also use Nydiot to do this artificially.
V
Thank you. VNC seems to be a good choice. Only small (rather big ) broblem remains.
I used to enter just name of my business server in TSC in format like xxxxxxxxx.xx.xxx.xx (no numbers). Taht's all and it worked. Now it is not enough. VNC automatically adds some "5900 port number" and even I change to other port (i.e. 3389), program is not able to connect (5900 port) or to communicate (3389 port) with the server. So it seems to me, that TSC used some specific port number (hidden to me) and my question is WHICH? Or is there any other problem? Thanks.
If you're using a firewall, ensure this port is enabled for this app. If ypu 're using a router, ensure this port is forwarded to your pc.
Can't remember the default port, just google for it. You can also try run > mstsc.exe on your desktop to check.
V
Sorry for my ignorance but I don't quite understand. I was talking about VNC client in my PDA and it looks like you are talking about desktop PC. But yes, I can connect to my busines server via desktop PC but problem is with my PDA. Anyway thanks for your advice, I'll check Google for that damn port
IIRC the port is the same on PDA and PC. Launching mstsc.exe on your PC will permit you to find the PC's default port number, which should also be the same for the pda. Enter that into VNC server AND client.
V
O.K. I have another stupid question. I have launched "mstsc.exe" but only information I've got is that about my server name and some other in "Options menu". That's what I already know. Where is the port number witten?
to change to TSC on a different port, say if you changed it 3390 (instead of 3389) enter hostname.com:3890 to change the default port on the server edit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp
the entry needs to be made in hex (3389=00000D3D & 3390=00000D3E)
VNC always defaults to 5900, but this can be changed on the server, and on the client you just add :X where X is an increment above 5900 so if the port is 5901 you connect to hostname.com:1 & 5902 you connect to hostname.com:2
I'm not sure if I am reading this right and my apologies if I'm stating the obvious.
If you want to use VNC on your PDA you will also need to install VNC on your actual server and configure as a server.
Unfortunatly VNC & rdp (terminal services) use different protocols so just changing the port number to match won't work.
RDP/Terminal service is included in Windows XP & 2003/2000 (if installed/configured) VNC is a third party application.
i think were a bit lost here
anyway, heres some ver of vnc for pocketPC.s
some free ones
http://home.utah.edu/~mcm5849/wince/vnc.html
and some commercial ones

http://www.mochasoft.dk/vncce.htm (the one i use)
personally i like tsc, as you can change the screen size.

You are absolutely right and you don't have to apologize because the stupid one is me I really didn't know that VNC server shall be also installed on desktop. But in that case there is no solution for my problem as my employer will not install any VNC on his server.

"tsc"...do you mean Terminal Service Client on WM5 platform? There is not possible to change screen size, is there?
Viktor: there aren't (m)any non Microsoft terminal services clients.
The standard PDA client is not very good, limited resolution, not fullscreen.
You can use VJFullScreenTSC to get rid of the softkeys/make it fullscreen, but a better or additional solution is to use Nydiot or similar virtual screen manager to extend your screen resolution. This apparently lets you use a much bigger screen resolution on TSC.
If you have access to the server, you can just run the VNC server yourself. It's a tiny program, no complex installation, I use it to control my PCs from work.
V
PS The Crossbow Remote Desktop client is much better apparently. If you can wait, it'll be worth it.
Give Mocha Remote Desktop a try. It works pretty well and lets you change the port easily.

yep, when connecting you have option "limit size of server to fit on screen"
i dont use this, its just too small. its the only time i change my screen to landscape, getting a more useful working area. true, i only want access to a dos prompt, services or notepad.

sorry viktor, yes tsc=terminal service client
Another option could be to install VNC on your PC at work if the admin will allow the required firewall rules.
Then use the PPC VNC client to connect to your PC and then access a DOS prompt, Services or notepad.
Also logging onto the server from your desktop could be possible through the desktop version of Remote Desktop Connection.
I do something similar in that I use the PPC TS Client (& VJ's excellent VJFSTSC on a Universal) to logon to one server setup for Citrix and RDP access and then use the Remote Desktop Connection to connect to any other server/client that I wish to access.
Nyditot's Virtual Display also works well with the PPC version of the TS Client and allows 800x600 & 1024x768 resolutions provided Virtual Display is set to those resolutions prior to connecting. You would then use virtual display's navigation controls to move around your desktop
(VJFSTSC works but hiding the SIP is a bit hit & miss because with nyditot VJTSC required menu options to be selected twice and you often end up with the top start bar returning.)

But that function doesn't "shrink" screen size of the server to fit into my PDA display. Marking this checkbox will only cut the the central (320x240) part of the server screen without any possibility to scroll. So it is even worse case than to leave it unmarked...

Viktor, that is wrong, tsc should give you a tiny little screen, with limited content, but for example if you run cmd or services, you get a usable (non scrolling) screen.
i dont quite know what you want to achive, but a way to get 25% of a screen is to use vnc (server) on a machine withe the screen res changed to 640x480, change your fonts & menus to small. you see where i'm going?
what u need is a DELL VGA x51pda and teathing it to your tytn! then u can access your remote pc and view it just like at your office with VGA display!
this is y i so desperate need a VGA pdaPhone with tri-band hsdpa.
Can someone tell me how is get this app to work?
Can't connect to my PC at all.
Cheers!
Hmm. I'll get back to you on this. I knew how to do this before lol. I just use LogMeIn now (Logmein.com)
i use"real VNC" it's very easy to handle and works good....
Imma try to get "real VNC" to work, thanks!
Still hope to hea from you soon Kraize92
EDIT: Uh, is there a specific VNC for WM6? Cause now I only got it on XP .. how do i get a VNC viewer on my Diamond?
Cheers!
http://www.realvnc.com/products/beta/ce/
DotNet VNC is an excellent viewer for WM5/6. One single (tiny) exe, no install, fully functional:
http://dotnetvnc.sourceforge.net/
I'm using the beta 1.0.1.17 with no problems. Just note that when you click connect, the window will disappear momentarily as it connects to your host/vnc server.
RDP--you must disable proxy..
Microsoft RDP requires the proxy be disabled, at least for the AT&T network version.. There is access in the settings menu to enable/disable the proxy.
I can remote control my servers over the Internet through my firewall just fine, using Server 2003 RRAS as my RDP server. Should be the same for MS Small Business Server 2003.
(Note:the AT&T proxy filters out the GRE packet type needed for MS version of RDP).
You might need to re-enable the proxy for normal Web surfing..
Is there a way for the xperia to control a windows xp while on a wireless network or usb activesync?
you can setup remote desktop thru windows or use logmein.com--I prefer logmein cause its faster. Just create a free account and install the client on any PCs you want to control, then go to logmein.com on your xperia and you can connect to any of them.
I will also add that logmein looks amazing with the high res screen of xperia

You've also VNC clients like .net vnc client which is freeware & Mocha VNC which is shareware & install ultravnc on your pc ! but if you are not using a home premium edition of vista or xp (which does not contain any rdp server without hacking), use its std remote desktop ! you have a cab for rdp client on xda-forum & by using the search feature of the forum, you should also find a big thread comparing all remote desktop solutions !
need to rdp to my home xp desktop...
pls advise

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!
