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;

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

Does XP have Terminal Server capabilities?!
How does one run a Terminal Server on XP Pro?

J2ME web server, access localhost using IE

I am trying to make a program in j2me (using Esmertec JBed) that acts as a web server (that only serves the localhost) and calls a browser to connect to itself.
Sounds simple enough, but I can't get it to work.
I am using the web server code here:
http://javaswamy.blogspot.com/2003/09/j2me-turning-your-phone-into-web.html
and added
"platformRequest("http://localhost/");"
to the end of startApp()
There are 2 problems, though. The JVM cannot open the URL because apparently it cannot run opera while my code is running (it can't run 2 java programs at the same time?)
If I open IE and go to "localhost", I get "Action Canceled".
Anyone has experience with this?
If you are interested, I am trying to make an offline wikipedia reader. I don't want to lose all the formatting, and using the browser to render HTML sounds like the easy way to me (I can even implement links since it runs as the server). I will just write a program to convert all the wikitext to HTML on a PC, and somehow produce a database based on a wikipedia XML dump. There is no HTML renderer for j2me.
Many thanks!

MS access for Windows Mobile

One of the most useful things I can do with my HD2 is to run access files .mdb containing Visual Basic scripts. I couldn't find a Mobile version for MS access.
Anybody knows if it's possible? It would be really grateful

The very first versions of Pocket Office for Windows CE had Pocket Access. It was removed for some reason in later versions of Pocket Office/Office Mobile. Maybe some other office packages still offer Access file support or you can somehow find Pocket Access as a cab from some old device.

Even with an old CAB, you will have trouble with the databases. PPC2003 (if not 2002) has Mobile Access, and at that time, the ActiveSync can convert the Access MDB database to the mobile CDB databases. Either you are creating the databases on HD2 itself and forget about the activesync, or you will also need to hope that the pre-V4 activesync can work on your Windows and the HD2.

Actually yeah I am having really hard time running mdb files on HD2. What a loss..

Is there any news about ms office access for windows mobile 6.5? Maybe there is a some kind of aplication or program who is able to read and edit access files. Did somebody knows anything about this?

Try kaione.com, they have also - slightly buggy - sync client

I use Data on the Run to good effect on my WM6 iPAQ 214. I haven't tried it on my HD2.

Opera and NTLM support

Hi all,
since a couple of days I have a new HD2 and it's fantastic!
On my old Diamond I was able to enable the NTLM support in Network section of Opera config file but, with a big surprise, in the current configuration (on HD2) the NTLM is missing (in the Network section and other of configuration file).
Since I need authentication for ISA proxy (via NTLM) on company intranet (my connection is through dedicated APN that link directly on company intranet) I can't use Opera on my HD.
Any suggestion or workaround?
IE works corretly but don't suppport multi touch zoom so I would like to use Opera.
The previous version of Opera installed on Diamod (last italian official ROM) work perfectly.
Thanks all!!

I'm interested in this too (just bookmarking the page really).
I use IE as Opera doesn't work, but would rather use Opera. I browse private folders via IIS and don't have the opportunity to log in with Opera.

Doing the same (bookmarking), just for fun I tried to check some webapps on my corporate Intranet set up with IIS integrated authentication and it worked perfectly with IE. I didn't try with Opera. Will do on monday and see if I can come up with a solution

Opera doesn't offer a dialog to enter domain authentication. It just says "the server requested a login authentication method that is not supported."
It seems pretty sure of itself

I'm not entirely happy about this, but there appears to be a workround...

Doesn't help if you don't have admin rights on the server, of course.

You are right on both accounts! It IS very sure of itself. As MS would say, this is not a bug, this is a feature or this is by design.
As for the workaround, I hadn't seen your post until now and being sysadmin for a lot of IIS servers, I thought about the same solution, tested and it works. I came back here to report about it but you beat me to the post by almost 48 hours -
Anyway, it's not a good solution and not everybody with a HD2 has admin rights on the IIS servers of his company.
So we are stuck with IE until maybe a new version of Opera mobile. After all, Opera on desktops supports it (sort of...)

Ok, thanks for support.
What sounds strange to me, is that Opera installed on my old Diamond implement the NTLM authentication and the version on HD2 (newer) not at all. Moreover I installed the Opera 10 beta and, in this version also, the NTLM support is missing (I don't find it in the configuration file).
Why they removed it?

[Q] Password manager for IE Mobile ?

Hi,
I have a HD2 (Windows Mobile 6.5), and sometimes I use Internet Explorer. But, I cannot find a way to store passwords to log in into different sites.
Is a password manager included and can it be activated? Or, do I need to install additional software? Can someone recommend freeware program? Thank you.

I used to use Keepass.
http://keepasssd.sourceforge.net/
Desktop and windows mobile client. I can remember that the version of both clients need to be compatible. So make sure to verify that.

Thank you.
I tried KeePass sometime ago. KeePass seemed to be a little complex, and I don't understand why destop and mobile versions must be compatible, as I intend to use it only on my HD2.
All I need is IE Mobile asks if the login and the password should be remembered, when I put them, and click on OK, like Opera does... Maybe there is no freeware which adds such a function..
