Using XDA as remote PC screen

Hi,
Does anyone know some software that can make
the XDAII function as a remote screen for the PC ?
It would be great to use the XDAIIs touch screen
to control the PC - maybe via bluetooth ?
Cheers,
Johannes

Johannes,
Try using VNC .....
You'll need to install a server on you PC (TightVNC, RealVNC or [email protected])
Then use the Pocket PPC Viewer on the XDA
Regards
John

well you can use windows therminal services
or pocketVNC to get the screen from the pc to the pda
but it will clone not extend your desktop
and at least with therminal services (which is included in both the pocketpc and in windows) it logoff the pc user when the pocketpc connects
and at least with therminal services you need the vidcomm bluetooth stack to get the PAN profile
because if you use activesync to connect and then login from the pocketpc the desktop user gets log'd off and this disable activesync which breaks the connection to the pda

Network/Mapping/Shared Drive Question...

Hi,
I try to use VLC for Pocket PC and I would like to access my PC that has multiple drives shared. I have tried Total Commander but I was unable to open a //192.xxx.xxx.xxx/Drive Link
Is there any other Method ?
Can I use Media Player to play songs from my PC as a Network Share to my Mini S (Wizard) ?

i know you can do it using rosco explorer. the way i do it is to use the software from www.orb.com. it sits in your system try and you then access it from pocket ic and it streams the media to your phone from anyware in the world via. gprs or wifi etc

Resco Explorer works a treat for that.

dont connect to an ip, connect to your computer ie
\\computername\sharedfoldername

Did the above naming convention still didn't work I was waiting for it to ask me for username and password since it is in a workgroup on a home wireless network. Just says can't connnect.

just to let you know - my problems with alarm clock started when i installed resco explorer and ENDED when i trashed this application - very useful but I want to rely on my wizard waking me up in the morning ;-)

Networking software?

So what are some good software that I can use to connect to a computer a browser the files on the computer, watch the videos on it and listen to the music on it. Like xp/vista and osx does. What about software that lets me connect to some ones WMP or itunes play list? Thank you.

so anyone?

u can use Resco or something similar to access the shared files from ur pc and play them with ur fav media player

anyother options?

You could also use a VNC client on your pocketpc and a VNC server on the PC. Have a look at ptVNC http://www.parystec.demon.co.uk/pt_vnc2.htm. There are other solutions as well, just Google around...

Nothing like what you see on the Tilt or the Vouge?

Is there some way to make a Windows Mobile 5 device show up as a shared drive on a network (connected to it thru WiFi)?

WM6
On WM6 there is a Network plugin for file explorer. you can use it to map to a shares on your windows machines.
It's an HTC app so have a look on the CAB apps area.
It's ace!
Also a Domain Enroll app, I haven't tried yet but I'll get a virtual PC up and give it a shot..

Can Windows Mobile Remote Desktop work over Bluetooth?

Hi there,
I was wondering if Windows Mobile Remote Desktop (with WM6.1) can possibly work over Bluetooth. I have my computer and mobile connected via Bluetooth ActiveSync, and I have my computer configured to allow remote desktop, however, I can't seem to get the two to connect.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks!

highly doubt it, RDP runs on a tcp/ip based network. i dont think that htc phones are capable of that over bluetooth

Yes they are.

remote desktop over bluetooth works fine, i prefer to use realvnc for remote desktop connections though and mocha vnc client software on the PPC , in my opinion its much better than MS remote desktop software

I wish I could figure out why it isn't working then. All the settings seem to be correct. I'll need to try and hunt down a guide somewhere, or I will fiddle and get it working and write one

HI JADEL,
You can use app like BTREMOTE it's a client/server based application allowing you to control most of your apps on the PC.
Try it.

Hi there, I own a HTC TUCH HD, and I want to be able to get remote desktop over bluetooth!
I see you know how to do that, so if you would not mind giving me a short tutorial on what should I do?
thx

it works just fine over bluetooth but not over activesync connection you need to use PAN
when you connect it log out the user disconnecting the activesync connection
thats not the case with bluetooth PAN and wifi
how you set it up is not really a wm question all the setup required is on the pc
and the same setup that you need if using remote desktop from another computer
so google got piles of guides how you turn on remote desktop on the pc and open the ports it require in the firewall

thank you very much for the answer!

[REQ] Connect to home server over internet ?

Hello,
I've just ordered a Diamond and I was thinking about an app that would be great.
If you could connect to the home computer/server/pc from the mobile and get the (windows) shared files from the PC on the mobile.
I will be getting a flatrate Turbo3G with the phone, so apps like this would be great. To be able to stream all my music from my pc/server wherever I am
Is there some software that enables something like this?
Thanks ..

for media files try winamp remote (orb), no apps installed required, browse through opera
