is there a util for this ?

Hi,
Is there a App like Remote administrator for PC
for the XDA2 ?
something where i can see on my XDA2 LCD a Screen of my PC
desktop and interact with the PC from screen taps on the XDA2.
open folders, start programs, mebe even xfer files etc etc

yeah vncview.exe
works pretty much like normal vnc between 2 computers

One I use is Pocket Controller from SOTI, very good.

I use NetOp Remote Control. Super!!

why dont u just use the terminal services client that comes built in in your xdaII and remote desktops on your xp machine??
no need for 3rd party tools

Hi ArticCat, would you mind to make a step buy step explanation on that?
:?:
Thanks in advance.

This works only on Windows XP Professional, NOT on XP Home.
Works with a Wifi card and in the USB cradle, didn't test it yet with an USB BT dongle since mine is in back-order or with GPRS.
PC
- make sure you have administrative rights
- Right-click "My Computer" and choose Properties
- Choose the tab Remote
- activate Remote Desktop (Allow users to connect remotely to this computer)
- the logged on user automatically has access to the pc. If you want to add additional users, click on "Select Remote Users" and add them.
XDA
- goto Programs->Terminal Services Client.
- fill in the name or ip-address of your pc and hit "Connect"
Works fine, but I find the resolution of the XDA II to low to be practical.
Think this would work much better on a Toshiba e800 with 640x480 res.
Enjoy,
Jos

Thanks a lot for the fast response.
Looks like there is something missing, I get a "Cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection setings, tap setting" message.
There is not very much to configure undet the settings tab, so it's a bit frustrating.
Any ideas?
:wink:

I have no connection configured, just the XDA II in the cradle and it works.

Thanks a lot!
To my surprise it worked as you mention once I tried again. Couldn't figure out what was wrong the first time.

i used the SOTI and yes i can see the XDA screen on the PC.
But i was looking for the same util but the other way round.
i wanna see the DeskTop screen on the PDA

You need this prog: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/downloads/pocketpc/remotedsp_eula.mspx
Allows you to show the display of the pda on the pc-screen and control it with mouse and keyboard.
And it's for free!

yes thats wot the UTIL dose i have now.
but im looking to..
display of the pc-screen on the PDA and control it

This is what you want....

Arthur,
Let's get things clear.
You want to control the pc from the XDA?
Just use terminal services client on the XDA in combination with the remote desktop feature of Windows XP Pro, as described in the earlier postings.
Or use VNC, you can download the client for the pocket pc here:
http://www.cs.utah.edu/~midgley/wince/vnc.html
and the server for the pc here:
http://www.realvnc.com/download.html
Jos

hi jos yes you got it
one problem i have is when trying to connect via GPRS i get the msg NO MODEM AT THE OTHER END ?

Arthur, did you get this sorted in the end.
I was already running the server program on my main pc and downloaded the pocket pc vnc veiwer. Cant get it to work so far tho, is there any settings you have to change on the XDA?

Access Your Home Computer From Your PDA.

hi there......
was just surfing the net and found out this software www.logmein.com all you need to do is register over here and download a software on the pc you wanna access and just install it.....after the installation is complete u can either access your computer from a pda from ne where or you can access it from ne other computer......
Conditions Apply :
the computer you wanna access shud be turned on and logmein software shud be running.
the computer you wanna access shud be connected to the internet.
this is how you can connect to your computer from your pda.

is this safe?

I used to use https://www.gotomypc.com/ a couple of years ago with my original XDA when I was away from the office. It did the job, but it's a bit tedius on a small screen. If you logged in from another PC it was great and I used it daily.

safe as eva it can get becaz u cannot do ne **** if u dun haf the admin username and password for tht windows machine(homepc)

You just have to trust the software.
I don't know these companies, and I'm sure they are all legit. But a bad one could simply send the ip-address, userid and password to a logging machine.

I wonder how do these programs compare to the latest version of PC Anywhere? I think PCAnywhere has a client for the Pocket PC and the plus is that you don't need to pay monthly subscription and that your data is totally safe as it's being tunneled directly to you bypassing any server. Plus Norton seem to have more resources than small companies. I also wonder how does this compare to Terminal Server Client.. Anyone?

yeah i did hear bout pcanywhere neva used it......but i heard tht its good n very stable software.....dunno whether its for free or u need to purchase it n stuff....n as far as pcanywhere hafin a client for ppc tht must be something good n worth looookin at !!

Remote Control
pcAnywhere is not free, but it does work well. You should look at VNC or RealVNC. It's free, and there is a client included in the SE ROM. There is some tweaking necessary for your firewall (if you're running one). I think the ports are tcp/udp on 5800 and 5900, but you should check the included documentation. Both client and server software can be found here: http://realvnc.com/

Terminal services is probably the best over narrow bandwidths like GPRS since it only sends the windows drawing commands to redraw the screen but you need either XP Pro or Windows server to run the server version of the program. I use VNC because I only have Win2k on my laptop - it's slow with screen updates.

VNC for 2003SE/Intel PXA: WHERE to download it??
Regarding VNC client for Qtek 9090, I miss something
(maybe because it is friday and I am getting tired) :? .
Where is it possible to find a VNC client for Qtek 9090?
If I understand well, to run it on a Qtek it has to be:
- either a Win Mobile 2003SE for Intel PXA program, or
- a Java program
Is that true?
And if it is, where can I find one, I don't find anything similar
on the http://www.realvnc.com/download.html .
Thanks,
Anton

any windows CE program will run
on xda's
there are many versions well 3 that i've seen of vnc clients for
windows ce / pda's with pocketpc now windows mobile on them

I did a google search, here's a link:
http://www.pocketpccity.com/software/pocketpc/VNC-Viewer-for-PocketPC-2001-1-2-ce-pocketpc.html
If you are running a v4 VNC server make sure it's in v3 compatibility mode since there is only a v3 PPC client available

Mark, thanks for pointing me to a link with a VNC client!
>any windows CE program will run
>on XDA's
Rudegar, regarding the HW platform, I still think that you have to
have a version compiled for your HW.
:!: However, in the meantime I found the answer at Intel's page
ftp://download.intel.com/design/pca/prodbref/251671-002.pdf
-->
Qtek 9090s (XDAs, and similar) have the PXA263 processor that is based
on Intel XScale technology, and these have the ARM* v.5TE ISA
compliant instruction set.
So a program for ARM will be the right one.

Real VNC

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;
http://discussion.brighthand.com/showthread.php?threadid=105793
Good luck!

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

VNC
Just found this and it works perfectly and is excellent to look at too,
http://dotnetvnc.sourceforge.net/
Cheers

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

Does XP have Terminal Server capabilities?!

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!

is there a free remote desktop program for winmo 6?

need to rdp to my home xp desktop...
pls advise
thanks !

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!
