exe mike

Try VNC.
cheers,
vlodeck.

My first choice is..
http://www.logmein.com
Make an account, sign up you PC..
Log in via your PDA, work perfectly.

Have to agree with KulaShaker.
LogMeIn is sweet
i even bought a pro subscription

Bluetooth remote control

Hi all my old sony ericsson k800i had a program that allowed me to remote control my windows and linux machines via bluetooth it worked great and no additional software needed to be installed i there a similr application for my polaris? thanks

I think theres a diamond app for controlling WMP, iTunes etc, also offers a virtual G-Mouse. Dunno if this could be ported to polaris ?

it works for qvga devices also

i just found some vnc software for my polaris witch not only lets me remote control my pc's but also lets me vew whats on the screen via my pocket pc sweet

care to share what it is??

yeah sure you need a vnc server on your windows machine most linux machines come with one and then you just need the viewer on your PDA the one i have had most luck with is
http://dotnetvnc.sourceforge.net/
works quite well infact i reckon if i mess with my routers port forwarding i could access my pc from anywhere in the world

how about remote desktop? if we mention vnc...

yes is called clicker but you need to install server software on your windows machine

I don't think there is such a thing for wm. My wife has a SE so I know what you mean - it is quite effective. It is a bluetooth profile not a piece of software. We don't have that profile unfortunately.

Logmein in Leo?

Hi,
I was using Logmein Ignition on iPhone to access my PC's, unfortunately after couple of attempt I cannot enable logmein client to work on my HD2.
Are there any other alternatives to logmein?

Remote Desktop Mobile? You can find it in Start>Tools. Check the forum for tips on how to set up you HD2 to allow you to run it in Landscape mode.

As masi0 said, use remote desktop. It looks a bit daunting at first, after using logmein, but it works a treat using pinch-to-zoom.
Logmein has not worked since the latest version of IE was introduced. It used to work and I loved it as a remote client, but RDP is just as good once you're used to it.

Yeah, especially if You have dynamic IP, or/and NAT.

Personally using a weird combination of RDP/RDM+OpenVPN, which allows me to connect through my carrier's restricting proxy to my network with no problems; it's a bit of a hassle to set up though. Guide here.
VPN-wise, I believe Logmein had a beta Hamachi client for Pocket PC long ago, but I'm not sure if it's working anymore, although it seems to be. Should be available here.

I've managed to get Logmein working on the Leo with the use of IE Toggle. Can connect remotely, however, software keyboard doesn't work - reading emails is fine, but no chance of replying!!!

That's as close as I ever got since the introduction of this version of IE (when I was using a HD). I've always used remote desktop since.
Have you looked at VNC? I've never tried a mobile version of that myself, but I've seen it working in videos and it looks pretty good.

Could you please tell me what "IE Toggle" is and what to do to get Logmein client work?

wake on LAN
Does anybody know if remote desktop will wake your computer via wake on lan ?

IE toggle is a small program to allow the use of the old IE which works with logmein. I am using this on a 6.5 rom with good result but the HTC keypad does not work. The swype keyboard does work however so all is now well. BTW, the IE toggle did not work in the 6.5.5 roms.

If the computer is switched off, then it won't wake it unless it has a specific WOL instruction from the network. Remote Desktop won't do this, no apps would unless you're on the same wifi network, and I've not come across an app for it anyway.

Remote desktop mobile - h e l p please

Hi People
I'm searching for a great remote desktop mobile for my new HD2 and have problems to find something good.
I'd love to install LogMeIn, but i suppose is impossible at this moment,
This Night i found this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFiDZ_wBAtM&NR=1&feature=fvwp
I suppose is from RDM plus, i install a demo version 3.7.6 and it is very different compared to the Remote desktop mobile from youtube Video.
Where can i find the remote desktop mobile from youtube video?
Need your help, please
Thanks

That's the remote desktop client that comes with Windows mobile 6.5. It's in your start menu, in the tools folder

boss the remote desk top shown in you tube vedio is same as in hd2 .........
its not different ........

Logmein - Ignition works just fine.
or as the others just said - just use the one that came with your HD2.

just wondering whether anyone could help us to set it up step by step...
also just wondering do you have to have a router or it can also work on wireless USB broadband (thats what i have)

I used the theme in our forum for this, but I didnt succeeded with it, because Im using PPPoE internet and when I set everything, their appears conflict and the internet drops...

I found the app already, but what I'm looking for is how I can setup the use of a remote desktop gatewayserver?
The server I address is an IP-address, but in the Windows 7 setting, I need to specify this gatewayserver.
I'm no admin, so I can't install something @ server side.
Thanks for your help!
Koen
PS I was even trying to run only Remote App, instead of Remote Desktop...

First off - well done on getting it working
Secondly, install BsB Tweaks (if you haven't already) as that will let you fix both zooming and auto-rotating in it.
In BsB you can say you want to add an app for either zooming or rotating (you do them seperately, but it's the same process). You'll have to shake the device to let BsB know which app to make changes for. Just make sure you do it on a connected session (in remote desktop), NOT the login screen. They're 2 different things.

Controlling PC Remote Desktop

Hello
I am able to connect to my PC via the htc remote desktop application.
How do I stop it logging out the current user? This happens even when logging on with the same account.
I am trying to use my phone as a PC mouse to open file videos etc, so need to see the desktop at the same time on my phone.
Does anyone have a better way of doing this. I have tried logmein but this website does not allow me to select anything using the touch screen, although I can view the desktop fine.
Thanks

It's not possible to see on both with remote desktop.
You should look into VNC. Or if you don't need to have the screen on the phone but just mouse/keyboard controls there's G-Remote.

You could also try logmein.com - it is great!
ADC

I use Mocha VNC.

You can try the following website, this shows how to allow concurrent remote desktop sessions, it is geared towards windows 7 but its a start...

Also, that method doesn't let you see the same desktop on the phone as on the pc, , , both are logged on, yes, and (example) files saved to the desktop will both be seen, however one wouldn't see the same windows media player as the other, and indeed you would have trouble with both logins running (some of) the same program together.
I know this because i have both vista and win7 installs that have had concurrent logins enabled, which I didfor exactly the same reason as OP, heh, it didn't work. Hah.

Something like the "Logitech Touch Mouse" app for the iTouch/Phone would be cool on a Windows Mobile platform.
More info about it http://www.geek.com/articles/mobile/control-your-pc-with-the-logitech-touch-mouse-iphone-app-2010021/
When I'm in bed, I'd like to be able to control my PC with my phone as if it were a TV remote controller or in other words a wireless mouse+keyboard.

It's exactly it, plus a lot more like g-sensor support, direct media player control, etc. Search for it on here.

Hi all, first-time poster here, although long-time admirer of the excellent work that goes on here.
This thread has compelled me to post as a winmo version of this "Logitech Touch Mouse" app would be a really handy to control my media pc at home, as well as the Skype conferencing machine at work in place of the bulky and ugly wireless keyboard we currently use.
