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?

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

PCAnywhere software for PPC

anyone know of a free PCAnywhere software for PPC (tmobile usa MDA)

I don't think there's been a PCA for PPC in years. As far as I know, your choices are VNC or the terminal client that comes with the phone.

can i use the vnc to connect to my desktop outlook? if yes can you please tell me how to do that?

pcAnywhere for PPC
Try this:

Try: z2 Remote2PC - very good for wlan and internet remote your pc
or LogMeIn (www.logmein.com) for remote your pc only via internet.
The second one is free.

Why not just use the Remote Desktop that is standard on your PPC and on your WindowsXP PC?
I know it "isn't all that"...but hey, it does what it has to do, nothing more, nothing less

Dumb question : where is that on the PPC and the PC ?
Cheers

On your PPC: Go to programs, click on Terminal Services Client (at least that is the name of the program on my Dutch Qtek Rom).
On your PC (to enable Remote Desktop): Click on the Windows Key and the Pause/Break button at the same time. In the upcoming screen select the upper-right tab, enable Remote Desktop.
Note:
If you want to connect not only through your LAN (home network), but also from anywhere in the world, make sure you open port number 3306 in your firewall/router.
Note2:
You can only connect via IP Adress, not via hostname or pointed domain name.
Good luck.

The default port for remote terminal is 3389, not 3309.

PC Anywhere 11.5 for the PPC came out a couple of years ago. It's still a current version buy PCA 12 which should be out soon is better (free Beta version expired this month).

I'll be, ya learn something new every day. Last PCA I saw was that nasty "test" version for Windows CE 2.0 a *long* time ago. I was never a big PCA fan anyway but i didn't see mention of it on symantec's site.

FYI - remote desktop is only available if you have XP Pro, not XP Home. If you have XP Home you're out of luck in this regard.

try gotomypc.com

Just use VNC for PockePC
Here's some links.
A pockepc vnc client: http://www.cs.utah.edu/~midgley/wince/vnc.html
Another vnc viewer client: http://dotnetvnc.sourceforge.net/
A pockepc vnc server: http://www.pocketvnc.com/pocketVNC.aspx

how to transfer files from pc to ppc and vv through wifi?

im newbie
how to transfer files from pc to ppc and vv through wifi?

I use totalcommander on both the pocketpc and the pc. If memory serves me right, you would need a plugin on the PC, but you can find that on www.totalcmd.com
Oops, when you use totalcommander at the PC, you would need a activesync connection. the pocket pc version supports both activesync and wireless.

There is no way to see PPC files on PC without ActiveSync because it does not have the necessary server components, but for PPC to PC total commander is definitely the way to got (you would only need it on the PPC).

use this its great.
http://www.julien-manici.com/windows_mobile_wifi_remote_access/

u can also use MobileExplorer from Mymobiler.com.

Sure there it is possible so see the files of PPC on PC without Activesync. Use FTP Server on PPC and just browse with FTP Client through WiFi on PPC

yes, many athena users use terminal services/remote desktop to reach their desktops or servers. You must be able to get to port 3389 (or other port used for remote desktop) on your home or work network.

rermote desktop

thanxs very much

Firstly log into your router and open port 3389.
It is best to test your connection with Wifi first as at least then you know you're halfway there!!
On Vista Ultimate (which is the same as mine) enable remote desktop connections to your computer. This is found in control panel/system/remote (tab) on xp - should be somewhere similar on Vista.
You also need to enable a password on your computer's login page.
You should now be able to log into your pc via wifi by entering your pc's IP address (found by entering IPCONFIG on the command prompt) on the remote desktop mobile display.you will need to enter your login name and password below this. There is no need to enter a domain name.
If you have a static IP address you should also be able to login this way over 3G. However if your connection is dynamic (such as with Virgin Media) you will need to go about it slightly differently. register with www.no-ip.com and they will provide a free static address for you. No-ip runs in the background on your Vista pc and you simply login on your pocket pc with the address they provide (rather than 192....laadeedaa) - for example (yourname).no-ip.biz.
Everything should then go hunky dory.

remote on athena
thanxs very much for the interest.i`ll try it.
