Wizard and Xp SP2 remote connect

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.

Wi Fi Threats?

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

Can anyone post the Hero's internet sharing USB drivers for XP?

Can anyone post the Hero's internet sharing USB drivers for XP? Or where to find it? I need it. Please....
After it has been installed, the OS device manager name will be "HTC remote NDIS based device" like this.....

The hero does not support internet sharing. netiher does the magic or the G1.
Are you thinking of Windows mobile devices??

what is this option for?
settings--wireless controls -- mobile network sharing (at the bottom)
To enable mobile network sharing, please plug in the cable?

You just need to download and install the HTC Sync from this page:
http://www.htc.com/hero/m/en/downloads/htcsync.html
the last 2 lines of the install instructions states:
(During the installation, a modem driver software for your phone will also be installed. It allows you to share your phone’s Internet connection to your computer when you do not have Internet access on your computer.)

this file is also on the sd card!

Well bugger me backwards, I stand corrected!
Has anyone actually got it to work though?

just tried it and it actually seems to work!
Once htc sync was installed from http://www.htc.com/hero/m/en/index.html it installed the network adapter and all seemed well apart from no traffic.
disabled sharing and started it again and all started going flawlessly.
maybe a little slow, but enough in a pinch.

Does anyone know if this will flag up on the operators system as tethering?
With 3gb allowance per month I can't use that all on mobile browsing!

It depends on the network.
I currently am using it on a three mobile sim with the 5 pounds a month 'unlimited' mobile browsing add on.
works fine and i have been using that sim in a USB modem for the last three months, so even if they can, it depends on whether the network actually cares or not!
I know that my t-mobile sim with W&W+ allows me to do it no problems as well, although i don't think you're allowed to on the standard w&w plans. Don't know about their new 'unlimited' flext plans.

WiFi Direct with S3 works...

So, I'm one of the many who have a limited data plan so uploading my backups and stuff to the cloud has never been an option as data adds up quick.
I've see a lot of people not able to get WiFi direct to work so today I decided to give it a try. Its not as cut and dry as a S3 to S3 WiFi direct, but using WiFi direct with a little help with ES file Explorer is completely possible.
Remember, this is using WiFi direct, there is no routers or other devices other than my N7 and S3.
In this example, I'm going to transfer a 158 MB file.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So, the first thing I did was open up the WiFi settings on both devices and went to WiFi Direct. I also renamed both devices to better ID them.
Once renamed, you can select from either device to connect. I just selected my S3 from the N7 device. The S3 in prompts for conformation.
The devices will display connected.
Now that you are connected, you are going to go to the device that you want to SEND FROM and open up ES file explorer. Go right to the menu and scroll down to remote settings.
Check "remote manage" and copy down that ftp address in full. If you close ES and have the close on exit check, you will lose the connection so do as you please with that settings. You can also set a password if you plan on doing this on the LAN level too.
Now, go to the receiving device. I had issues with chrome, but Firefox works fine. Plug in that ftp: //xxx.xxx.xx.xx:xxxx/ and hit go
Now you should get your sending devices directory. Have fun, transfer away.
ES explorer has settings to allow allow access to root if you are rooted so if you are enabled, be careful. Im not responsible for you messing with wrong files and crap.
Here is my transfer, notice the time from finish to complete. It took about 30 seconds.
This can be done from either device depending on what direction a file needs to go. You can save your FTP settings and bookmark too for easy access in the future.
You can use FTP on you WiFi at home. Passwords are recommended as your device will be available on the home network.
This is the only easy way I was able to get WiFi direct to work. Enjoy.

nfc wifi connecting help

ok guys im allocating some nfc tags around the public bar i work at,.
i want to put 2 tags on the main bar that connect customers to our wifi, now i know i can do that with commands however
we are using a broadband system provided by heineken beer company, users connect the wifi network, but then must open theyre browser and click a default webpage that comes up instantly to connect to the network.
so how would i set the tags to
connect to the wifi and then click the "connect to heineken wifi" option on the default page?

Are you sure about NFC with its max range of about 20cm? Either way I would imagine that the WiFi hardware supplied takes care of redirecting the user at login

yes that is the idea, customer walks in touches the bar designated spot and connects to wifi,... we dont want a long distance force connect to every customer lol
the supplied wifi asks for the user to open webbrowser and click "use wifi" before actualy being connected. is there such command to get around this?
im on a secret mission to make our bar android friendly :highfive:

Could this the case?
To restrict wifi access to current customers and to make the connection easier (selecting correct wifi service and keying a strong passphrase) the customer touches the tablet onto the bar mounted NFC device and the network wifi config is beamed to the tablet and the customer elects to process the download and get immediate network access.

But it has a button in the middle of the page saying "free premium wifi" the user must click this button before actually being connected to the net,.
