** make sure that you have windows xp pro**
1. download this file onto your pda and run it.
2. make sure that if you are using a router the you open up port 3389... it has to be this port and no other
3. on your desktop goto start/settings/control panel/system/remote and click the box that says "allow users to connect remotely to this computer", that is it you don't need to click anything else
4. open up the program and type in your ip address without the port number then username and password - which must match your windows login and password.

All good advice but this may not work if your office PC is behind a firewall / your office network uses Network Address Translation or you need a VPN to access the network. Give it a go and see what happens but if the IP address of your office PC starts 10.0.0 or 192.168 or similar, it is unlikely to work. You will then have to use a remote access service.

Also if your IP's range anywhere within 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255, the you're behind a firewall.

If you're just using 3G/HSDPA you shouldn't have any problems connecting.
If you've got a DSL connection with a dynamic IP address (like mine with Virgin Media) Just register and download the NO-IP software (www.no-ip.com - it's free) then instead of typing in your Ip address on RD you'll put "....no-ip.biz" - or whatever they assign you.
As already stated you HAVE to open up port 3389 on your router and assign it to the relevant pc. This number you will find by entering "ipconfig" in the cmd window. Be aware that if your router gets turned off you could find that the IP address of your computer changes, so you'll have to go back into your router settings and change it to the new ip address for that pc.
I've tested RDP on XP Pro, Media Center 2005 and Vista. I found it to be a little better when the host was a Vista pc - whether this is my imagination or because it is designed with Vista in mind I don't know.

Of course, this only applies if you are not behind a corporate firewall using NAT or other dynamic IP behind the firewall. Also, if it is a corporate network, opening port 3389 may be (a) very difficult to convince your IT dept to do and (b) not very secure!
If one iof the dynamic dns systems works for you, you might try dyndns.org

IP

How could I get the IP address to my G1? thats the Ip my phone uses for internet not the ip when its connect via wifi

You have a couple options. Using Terminal Emulator you can use the netstat command or you can use the easy way and go to www.ip-address.com. What do you need your uip address for anyway? You can't remote in through edge or 3g like you can wifi though telnetd.

thanks...................

now i dont know the name of the app which was released last week in the market, but it uses dynamic dns and updates your G1's IP address automaticly to a domain name.

You're referring to DynDNS and you can also find it in some routers. Unfortunatly, I believe there is a service charge for it. I use no-ip instead because it works just as well. But as far as I know DynDNS is the only app that offers this. But again... why do you need it??? I noticed that when I go to whatismyipaddress.com and when I do Netstat in Terminal Emulator I get two different ip addresses. I don't know what's up with that but I'm thinking that the netstat is the ACTUAL ip address and the ip address shown on the web site is a proxy. I would imagine that T-Mobile would not be stupid enough to leave their subscribers phones open to everyone else. It's very simple to get someone elses ip address if you're a host of a web server since all ip addresses are logged and without security (such as a proxy) it could leave all users vunerable. So my conclusion... if you had your real ip address... what do you plan on doing with it? You can only access your G1 through WiFi as far as I know. But correct me if I'm wrong.

wifi network questions on HTC HD2

Hi,
Using a HTC HD2 I am trying to access my home network via WIFI (WPA2/PSK - AES). Some of it works, some of it doesn't and I was hoping some of you would be able to point me in the right direction:
I can connect to intranet pages (for instance utorrent web interface) via IP, but not via hostname.
I cannot connect to network (smb) shares at all, either via IP or hostname.
A program which requires the hostname to work (since I use it over Hamachi VPN as well as locally and don’t want to change the IP based on how I use it) does work over Hamachi and not over WIFI.
I'm quite confused
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Elco

Sounds like your DNS isn't working. Do you have custom DNS servers configured in the "Name Servers" tab of network card config?

Yhanks for responding!
It should get it from DHCP (though I have tried assigning a static IP and dns, but this gave the same result)
Also, I have another older win mobile device, and with the same setttings it does allow me to access the network shares (by IP and hostname)
I've combed all settings regarding wifi and network, but since they are the same I am guessing it is probably a different at the registry level?
The HTC HD2 does have 2 broadcom wifi adapters mentioned though, a normal one and one with a DHD postfix.
Cheers,
Elco

@Talisman_: same problem here. have you solved it?

Exactly same problem on xperia x2. I just set on manual temporary.

Are you using Hamachi on your phone?
Did you have this problem prior to installing Hamachi?
The reason being is Hamachi installs a network interface which exists whether or not Hamachi is running
You may want to check your Data Connection settings and see if it has applied the "requires a proxy" setting

What are you using as your DNS server though, that is the question.
If it's your broadband router, then chances are it won't be able to serve DNS requests for internal devices (ie computers on your home network).
If that's the case, you'll need a proper DNS server (get an old PC and install Linux) and create a local domain such as home.local, or if you've got a registered domain, you can even set it up the same (domain.com for instance) just tell the DNS server it's the domain master.
It's been yonks since I played around with Linux so I can't tell you how, much easier with Windows Server
Some people advise against using the same public domain name as an internal domain name, but it just means you add A records for any public addressess such as WWW.domain.com or mail.domain.com if it's accessable outside your network as well as inside.
Alternatively, if you're only going to be accessing them via the home network then you could try adding a few hosts to your registry (use the windows calc or similar to convert each IP address number to Hex)

As always, you modify the registry at your own risk.

Server Question please help

What is the best antivirus/firewall that i could use on an iis 7 server?

Paid:
Sophos if you want to spend the time configuring it.
Symantec
AVG's server flavour.
Free:
Clam (it's what I use)

hey thanks for helping, another thing
1) i setup windows ftp 7.5 to iis 7.0 and setup went flawless, ping and everything went good, but i cant access the ftp server via ftp:// bccan.dyndns.org why??

If you're connecting from the outside of your network then you need to make sure of the following:
1. FTP is set up on your router to be forwarded to your IIS server
2. FTP site set to allow either all IP addresses to connect, or at least the external IP address you're coming in from (use www.whatsmyip.org to check your IP)
If you're connecting from within your network, you need to create a forward lookup zone in DNS for dyndns.org and add an A record of bccan with your server's internal IP address.

Also just to add, I would not worry as much about a software firewall on your IIS server , you will cause more problems than you will fix, as stated above if you only open the ftp port on your router to the outside, then no other connections will be able to get in ... Hardware firewalls/routers are a much better choice ..
As far as antivirus goes, it depends on how much money you want to spend, for free I would go with the ClamAV recommendation it works very well in a server environment.
Symantec which is not free really works well too ...
EDIT:
IMHO I would not use the machine name as your external DNS name, if that is what you are doing. That way you can use the machine name when connecting locally on your network and the DNS name when external ... It has just been my experience that using the same name for both machine and external DNS can cause all kinds of problems for other services you may want to run on that machine in the future ..

[Q] Help me access my server over the internet

I want to visit this page on my server
http://192.168.2.53:8080/tma/majBtm/androidToDesktop
Since it's a dynamic IP, the above mentioned IP address keeps changing everytime I reset my connection. I replaced the IP with a DynDNS hostname I created
http://tmagrails.dyndns-ip.com/tma/m...droidToDesktop
However, I'm unable to access this page from a remote machine (any machine outside the server's network)
I was asked to forward the port 80 to 8080. I'm unable to do so as there is no port forwarding option in my router page. I use a UTStarcom UT300R2T modem/router.
Is there any workaround for this?
Please advice.

This IP Address is a local-only IP address.
IP addresses in the 192.168.x.x ranges cannot be accessed from the internet.
You need to port forward a particular port on your router, and map that to the internal address. Your router has an external facing IP address, and you need a router that supports DynDns in its control panel.
You can find your external IP via www.whatismyipaddress.com but to get this working you need to be able to setup an incoming port forward, so port 8080 is directed by your router to your PC. The DynDns is currently pointing to
tmagrails.dyndns-ip.com (117.192.174.157)
So you just need to somehow forward all incoming connections to port 8080 onto that desired computer, and give that machine a static IP address on the internal network via DHCP pre-allocation.
