Hi everybody, been surfing the forum now as ive got an MDA Vario, unlocked it etc etc using the threads on board.
I've been trying to get my pc wi fi router to work with my phone, but have had no luck as of yet; however last night i came accross a broadband router which i thought was mine, i only used the connection to try pocket msn and look at googles layout on the phone. After a while i noticed i was not getting a 2mb speed and the signal strength was weak, therefore i noticed im using someone elses broadband.
My question is..
is it possible for the person to see my contact details on my pda .e.g my house address, and my home telephone number which is stored on the pda?
no phone has no network shares,
chances are they are ur next door nieghbour anyway lol
so they know where u live
:? so they wouldnt know any of my details?
well i only picked up a very weak signal
I think that the device does identify you with the first name and last name of whatever is set in the "Owner Information" properties. Can someone confirm? Is there a way to change that?
I would assume that rather than owner details, the PDA's "friendly name" would be used.
All moot as regardless of my best efforts I cannot get the thing to even ping, never mind show up on any networking kit I have. As someone has said they have no shares.
I am pretty paranoid about WLAN stuff as I run several and know how easily most are hacked - however, I am not in any form of panic re my Wizard.
It seems to me that PPC's are designed as a client side only system, which does seem sensible coming to think about it.
the only thing that they could trace is any logs on the router, with your IP and MAC address... i would not worry about it too much. the person is obviously stupid enough to NOT secure there network so i doubt they have the brains to trace you.
Thanks for the info guys
could be a honeynet.......
Odds are good that your neighbor can detect that you have been riding on his nickel. I am generalizing, but if they were bright enough to be watching their router logs and dhcp logs for rogue devices connecting then they would likely have also WEP'd their box.
I agree with VAP that the risk of the neighbor prying into your device over the 802.11 seems pretty small.
The "WM_Glenn" device is my TMO MDA

Hi u all,
I was wondering if someone has tried this, and by this i meen remote connecting to his desktop computer using the wizards terminal service client (or any other). Maybe a sticky guide whould be a very usefull idea. What say u?
Yes, it can be done, and it is fairly straightforward while your phone is connected to the same internal network as your PC. You simply have to enable remote connections on the machine, and enter the IP address into the program on the phone.
To connect to your PC from the public internet is also possible, but requires nore work. Basically, you would need the public IP address of your router, and enable DMZ on your router for that PC.
I cannot be more specific, because it depends on the make and model of your router.
Hope this helps.

Thanx mate.... worked like a charm from the local network. From internet though i guess it's another story because my pc is behind 2 routers, so i can't figure out which ones ip should i enter in the terminal service client, the modem/routers ip or the wireless routers ip its a bit messy
Ok this is an example of how to set this up. Networking is my specialty so I am well versed.
IP addresses used in this diagram are examples only. They do not apply to you, they could, but chances are they don't.

Then you would open Terminal Services Client on the PPC connect to the internet (from outside of your network eg:EDGE) and connect to 1.1.1.1 OR Whatever your external (internet) IP ADDRESS is.
The port forwarding is more secure then using DMZ. The only port required for Remote Desktop (Terminal Services) is 3389.
This setup is much more simple for 1 Router. But you can do it with 2, or more for that matter.
Hope this helped, Later; Lew
2 thumbs up for lew...
You are right man those arent my ip lucky guess eh?
Loved the smilie
Very helpfull diagram, i actually got the whole idea of port forwarding now
Will try it first thing monday morning from work
Thanx again m8.
What can I say... sometimes Tablets are priceless, other times they are just really expensive coloring books.
I've been fantasising about getting a Universal for sometime but I dont want to ditch my BA. As I don't see it as being that much of an upgrade to warrant paying & hassle of arguing with O2.
However, I'm on-call for my company and was wondering what the quality of VNC over 3G was like?
Has anyone tried this and is it practical?
.: bump :.
Not sure about over 3G but can imagine it's roughly comparable with normal VNC over broadband. Also depends what version of VNC you use on the exec as there are a couple.
Over wifi on the exec it's pretty good, though I've found that logmein.com is a far better solution - if such an option is open to you. Also found that dynamicdns.com is meant to be good, and allows you just to RDP onto installed terminals.
If none of these are applicable, then VNC on the Exec is just as good/poor as desktop equivalents.

Thank gawd Citrix released the latest WM 5.0 compatable version of GoToMyPc Pocket View so now I can remote into my desktop using my handset. GoToMyPC PocketView allows pda owners with a gotomypc subscription to access amd work on any registered machine remotely.
If security is an issue it uses an SSL-encrypted Web site and end-to-end AES 128-bit encryption of the data stream and chat as well as keyboard and mouse input; multiple passwords, including an access code that resides on the host computer and is never transmitted or stored on GoToMyPC servers; and notification when the PC is accessed.
Because the o2 XDA Exec has a 640 x 480 touchscreen and UMTS (3G) capacity it makes life a whole load easier using PocketView than on previous pdas. UMTS has a theoretical speed of 384 kbs so any refresh delay is hardly noticible especially combined with the fact that the software itself pixel refreshes.
Here's a couple of images of it in action!

They seem like the perfect combination for those who intensively work remotely who insist on not having to drag a laptop around with them.
Thats settled then - I'm getting one.
Also what mount are you using in the car?

Merry late christmas every1,
i been messin around with the Pebbles software available at:
http://www.pebbles.hcii.cmu.edu/software/userguide.php#pcnetworkconnections
and well, it allows u to virtually control ur desktop from your PPC (i have an 8525).
it allows u to connect serially, via usb, infrared and to a network host thru the options menu here:

its a nice program and works flawlessly thru usb and thru the network host when ur inside ur network i.e. 192.168.1.* and so on.
but ofcourse i have to push the limits and want to connect to my external IP so i can connect via 3g from anywhere, how cool is that..
and the port isnt shown anywhere so i connected via Wifi and ran netstat to notice:
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
------- -------------------- ------------------ ---------------
TCP myComputer:4343 192.168.1.*:1060 ESTABLISHED
i just forwarded both ports in my routers config as so:
i then pluggd my external IP into the network host text box on my 8525, clicked ok and was prompted by the pebbles server software running on my laptop whether or not to allow a connection from my phones 166.135.*.* ip, i ofcourse accepted and got an error from my phone, "Error: Network not available"
i tried like 10 times without making any changes and it connected once and ran perfectly, like i was connected over usb or wifi. i finished testing it out so i closed the connection and since, i havent been able to get it working.
i opened PebblesPC from my taskbar to see:
and noticed like 20 different 166.135.*.* IP connection attempts all from my phone.
wut ive concluded is that while connected to the internet on our phones over 3g, the IP changes so frequently to my device and doesnt hold onto a particular IP long enough for the pebbles software to fully connect and hold a connection like it has when assigned via dhcp to my internal network, but thats just my guess =X
any help is appreciated, suggestions are welcome and if theres any other software that can do the same then thats cool too, but id like to get this particular one working
o and its freeware so thats nice too
Try Logmein. Works flawlessly for me and allows me to access my work PC from home. Even to start it up and shut it down!!
Allows you to start up and shut down applications on the remote PC including printing etc etc.
You need to register but it's free:

kinda wanted to figure out the pebbles thing, but since u reccommended logmein, ive been messin with it and its really nice
wish u could add more special keys to send but its definately really good.
appreciate it =)
Also look for my forthcoming roundup of all remote control-related.
will do. definitely lookin forward to it. will u post it here in these forums?

htc legend connects to particular kind of hotspot type in my university. The thing about this is tha , we have to enter login id and password given to us before we can actually start accessing the net.
So , my legend connects but it does not load anything not even the log in page, here are the screen shots

What ROM are you using and what WiFi is it? Look in your wireless settings. By the sound of it, it is 802.1X which I have trouble with on blay0's ROM.
Its this rom - Superuser,Keep It Simple ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811776
I dont really think its the problem with the ROM.
hmmm
i've noticed a week wifi signal after installing cyanogenmod 6.1 dunno why is like that..
before when i had stocked rom wifi was running better thougt
I dont think its with the signal range. Because ive stood under the router and the signal shows full. Its something else. Please help me out.
Try in settings / wireless / wi-fi parameters
select your hotspot and in the window select forget
select a new time your hotspot and it should open the log in page.
I had similar problem with my box: connected but no internet access and this trick solve it.
^ Tried that. It doesnt work. Erm, tell me how can i help you to get more details about the network ? Basically its a 802.11 g network.
Its not the problem with ONLY my legend. Its with all Legends. The BB Torch , for instance works with the wifi.
Its not the problem with the ROM coz another friend of mine faces the sane problem though he is on original 2.2
Com'on guys ! help me out !
Any help at all guys ??????
Still no reply ???

I'm BUMPING this thread , as I returned to my uni and the my hostel is changed , the laptop still connects but not my Legend. FYI , original ROM also does not connect.
please help me out guys !!
I' ve exactly your problem. I can't connect to the my town wifi hotspots. Opened a thread here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/27909-problem-with-open-wifi-connections/ but still no reply.
Did you installed an app for wifi thether?
So let me explain what I'm trying to do. I am trying to connect to a Barco Clickshare (CSE-200) via wifi using the clickshare app and then open chrome and go to a website.
The Clickshare for those that don't know is a wireless content sharing device for meeting rooms. It's like a wireless access point but with no internet. You connect to it on your phone by connecting to its wifi SSID and password and then use the clickshare app to share content from your phone to a TV or whatever display the clickshare access point is connected to.
So when I connect to the clickshare wifi (which has no internet) I am no longer able to go to a website or use internet. My phone doesn't seem to be able to use my LTE service while the wifi is on. I talked to a guy at Barco and he said thats not normal. My LTE service should still be usable. My coworker who has the iPhone 6 is able to connect to the clickshare wifi and still use the internet on his phone from his LTE service.
I should note I am using the MSL/dun trick for hotspot.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Enable developer mode by tapping the build number in the about menu a bunch of times, then go to the new developer options menu at the bottom of the settings screen and turn on the keep mobile data turned on setting.
It's still possible that in the routing table on the phone the cellular data will be associated with a higher cost, and therefore the data still won't go over it even though it's enabled, bit worth a try.

I did what you said pitcherj, but no luck. I do now have the LTE icon at the top above the cell bars which before I didn't, but still no internet. Anything else I could try? I did restart the phone as well.
Nope, no thoughts. Without root you can't recost the network interfaces AFAIK. Maybe someone else has an idea.
