Can anyone help me out with this?
Basically what i want to be able to do, is have a computer (like my desktop for instance) and have it connected to my local internet at home. VNC FROM my phone to my computer so i can access my computer remotely (not difficult). Then i want to create an SSH tunnel FROM my computer TO my phone, so the traffic from my computer to my phone will be encrypted, and then forward that traffic through the router (or 3G) out to the internet.
This is mainly for when i have file downloads or something else that the G1 won't handle (large files, torrents, etc.)
Here's a breakdown of what i'm trying to do:
VNC from G1 into PC
SSH from PC into G1
Using VNC Start Downloading file
Send encrypted information to G1 from PC
Use G1 to download the data and send it back (encrypted) to the PC
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm a little confused. It seems like what you want to do is download data to the G1 but you've got the data going over the air interface three times. Why? Instead you could just SSH into the desktop computer, have the desktop computer download the data via its own internet connection and then send that data to the G1. Connectbot is the way to go. On your home network, if you have a linux-based home gateway then I suggest installing Tomato mod with openvpn or openwrt firmware. Both will allow you to SSH into the router or even set up an openvpn connection. If you go the openvpn way, Fnorder has compiled openvpn for Android here.
By the way if you don't need to have the download appear to come from your home network, you could just use wget from the command line.

hello all,
gots me a problem . im going to japan november, want to remote desktop back to here when necessary and be able to access a hdd here for dumping pictures. i have a lan here, wifi, it has a connection surfs the net etc.
it has an ip address from my router. is there a program or command that will get me the kind of command functionality of a dos/command prompt? ping, ipconfig, etc?
then if i can get them to talk, what steps do i need to take to remote in. do i need software? i enabled remote here, setup a user (vista BTW).
i cant access here from the laptop with xp either that one can ping. its also wifi currently. im obviously missing something and would appreciate any help, or web site links etc to show me what ive missed.
thanks in advance.
hi, a lot of admin utilities is in program called vxUtil. try to find it, if you are interrested. this is list of few features -
DNS Audit
DNS Lookup
Finger
Get HTML
Info
IP Subnet Calculator
Password Generator
Ping
Ping Sweep
Port Scanner
Quote
Time Service
Trace Route
Wake On LAN - magic packet
Whois
or look at HERE
so this was for PDA, and this is for full connection via SSH VPN encrypted connection. I work for Infineon/Qimonda company, and there is strict security policy in here. So we have not permitted to ping, or created FTP connection with outside and many other services (like sending files through ICQ and etc.). There is one way, use your own SSH tunell ;-) on my home PC I have installed WinSSHD Bitvise server liseninng on port 443 (which cannot be blocked, because all our lotus notes databases is secured with HTPPS) and from work I can connect easily to home. Then is easy to create FTP connection, or terminal, or full GUI terminal (mstsc.exe e.g.) Link to this server (not free) and also to very good client (free) is HERE
I also have few routers connected to stable IP´s adress, which also have VPN features. Then is easy for me to connect to my home lan from everywhere.
thanks so much, i knew someone would point me the right way.
since last post, i have managed to remote desktop from my phone on the LAN just using built in remote desktop. tomorrow i will attempt an internet connection probably not configured something yet!
im checking out those web pages now. thanks again
I wanted to find out if anyone knew of any programs that could be installed on an AT&T 8525 (HTC Hermes) that would allow me to move my cursor, access files, delete files, etc. from my computer over wifi.
Thanks!

I didn't know logmein could be installed on a mobile device. If it can, could you please explain how, please.
Logmein free and pro have a very good win mobile version. (Pro or Pocket pc version only)
just got to the log me in site as per normal try to connect to your pc and itll ask if you want to download and install the cab
works well

i just use plain ol' VNC
google pocketpc vnc viewer, it works well.
run VNC host on your computer, forward the ports you need with your router and learn your IP, or get a dynamic IP routing service and set it up to work with your router..
+its free, and understood by everyone.
I use RealVNC on the desktop (free version, no file transfer) and MochaVNC on my 8525. Worked great!
Stop by DYNDNS.org to get a named dns, works even if your modem shuts down for a while and the old IP goes back into the pool. (It's free too)
Configure the router for RealVNC (port 5900) and also configure the router to use dynDNS (it's easy to do with linksys routers)
Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but I manage those tasks with RESCO EXPLORER - you will see your desktop under NETWORK just like you would use your desktop for MY NETWORK PLACES. It is easy to move, copy or delete (shared) files ...
I have been searching for clarity thru islands of info in the forums as well as the net. Any help directing me would be sweet. I am trying to use my T-Mobile Wing HTC WM6 to control a computer on my home network. I have somewhat knowledge of having the server and client. Have read and installed programs. I want to be at McDonalds *or any wifi spot and log in to home computer. When I have a VNC server running it says the network ip address of 192.168.1.101 but I assume thats because its thru my network. I have went to what is my ip address.com and tried that with the port the server allows in the vnc viewer and had no luck. I think I might be too newb for such an advanced concept. I am somewhat computer savvy to alot of technical terms. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. I use messengers if faster communication is necessary. Thanks in advance to any help or thoughts.

a few thoughts,
1. what version of windows are you running. (e.g Xp Home or vista )
as Vista home basic and premium will not accept a remote desktop connection without a 3rd party hack to make it work only business and ultimate support remote desktop
If on XP home be sure to set allowing of remote desktop sessions to be allowed under the system properties area.
2. do you have a password setup on the user account that you log into windows on if no remote desktop will not allow access.
3. when browsing from a 3rd party network ( e.g mcdonalds or over GPRS/HSDPA ) you browse to your external ip not the dark ip of 192.168.1.x i use dyndns.org so i can just browse to the dynamic domain ip which is my external ip of my home pc
4. since you mentioned a dark ip i can only also assume your using a router at home. this means you either use such as LogmeIn/Hamachi and browse to the home pc's Hamachi IP ( e.g 5.5.100.50 ) or you will have to set a port forward in your router to forward any requests from port 3389 to the local IP of the home pc, ( e.g 192.168.1.100 )
I use static ip's in my router at home to ensire that the port forward will always goto my home pc's internal ip address. My particular router from netgear allows to have the ip of a specific machine be assigned the same ip internally based on it's ethernet adapter MAC address. making no changes required on the pc itself other them standard DHCP.
hope this helps.

1. I am using Windows XP Home. I have allowed Remote Access under the tab Systems Tab.
2. I only have a pw on the prog VNC server on the pc but no passwords for windows *should I? :| ... Then I try VNC Viewer the the Pocket PC *T-mobile Wing.
3. I am reading up on the dyndns.org site. I assume I need the free dns service for those with dynamic IP addresses. *i hope I have that.
4. I have Linksys Bef11s4... I believe I can set static ip's though its tricky for me. I am going to try for the pc I want to connect to. This networking stuff gets a little bit blurry for me. I understand that static means non-changing, therefore the pc to connect to in network will have same ip on restarts and things. I am familiar with the port forwarding options *do i need tcp and udp checked?... again any thoughts definately appreciated...
lastly, Do you have any particular progs you recommend for me to do this concept? I have a few installed, but not sure i need all.. I have pocketputty on pda and wm6 rdc... plus vncvier. On the PC i have VNC CLient and VNC Server *believe I only need server. Thank you for your time Cyberjak
1. Just go to http://www.logmein.com
2. Sign up. It's free.
3. Screw Remote Desktop and juggling internal vs. external IP addresses and DNS.
4. Use/enjoy...no work needed.

Logmein has like 6 choices... I am looking to remote access outside my network... also is this free? I see trials and stuff... thanks for help mjb
have the logme in installed on main and when i use pda it doesnt work...i installed cab and log in fine but when i go to remote the pc it takes my access code and then pops up with error message for menuPDA.html... i cleared history and cookies and tried to make sense of the forums... I am using the T-mobile Wing with WM6.... wierd... willing to try the other way if needed... i guess i could also try loggin thru a pc not home to the remote pc... i believe i saying this remote term correctly but i believe u understand. I am trying to use my PDA anywhere to control home pc.... thanks for help guys... i am willing to try whatever way works...
I've used Logmein on my MDA Pro, Ameo and now on my Vario 3.
You should first try to remote your PC while your sitting next to it. That way you can see any firewall pop ups that may be blocking you.
I have been trying when i am right next to it... I am using my WM6 to connect wi-fi to the internet thru my network.... the pc i wanna control is on my network...
It doesn't matter what network the PDA and PC are on. Logmein uses an internet connection.
yeah, tried a bunch of things to get logmein to work, and it always comes to the page of "403 Forbidden (0x5) menuPDA.html System error: Access is denied. (5)"
checked their forrums too...
guessing i should try going back to client/server manual entry... either way, any advice from you guys much appreciated.... It seems WM6 are known for incompatibility issues with RDC situations.... hoping not the case but...thanks again guys
got logmein working nicely, thank you for the help guys...
Gooer Remote Desktop Service
I am using Gooer Remote Desktop Service(http://www.gooer.com) and it let me access my home PC using laptop or mobile phone.
remote desktop only works, as far as I know, on XP pro & Vista

Has anyone done this? At home on wifi, I can mount my windows shares directly to the nook, browsing my comics collection / files on the device.
It'd be great to be able to do this from outside my network, securely..but I'm having trouble setting up a ssh server and connectbot.
Anyone done exactly this?
Or done connectbot with remote desktop? I could just change the port to 445 for similar instructions yes?
It is possible to set up an SSH server on Windows but it's not generally a good idea. If you have an always on Linux box then you could use that to tunnel into your network (this works very well). It looks like Connectbot does support port forwarding so in theory this should be possible but I've not personally tried it.
All that said, I have tried smb/cifs over ssh in the past and it did not work very well.
I think the "proper" solution to what you are trying to do would be VPN.
I honestly don't know what I'm doing. All I know is that all the things I've tried so far didnt work.
Can someone guide me on how to set this up on my NookColor?
My PC and NookColor share the same wifi connection via an Airport Exteme router. I know that there are two IP Address: one form y router, which I can see on www.whatismyip.com and the other is my computer's which I can see via cmd > ipconfig. So, my question is-- how do I set this thing up? Any step by step procedure?
What have you already tried? Also what version of OS are you using, some versions of windows have RDP kneecapped. Also, where are you trying to view it from?
If you already have RDP going, you can use Wyse PocketCloud to manage the connections through your google account, it's pretty straight-forward.
Personally, I use TightVNC as the desktop client and AndroidVNC Viewer and ConnectBot on the nook. I only use my home computer when at home, so the setup is fairly simple, have AndroidVNC talk to myipaddress using port 5900. Be sure to use the connecting password when you set up TightVNC - also check the character count as you enter it, sometimes it doesn't take all the characters, ie; the password "bob-ismyuncle" is stored as "bob-ismy".
For connections remotely (not on the same network) I first SSH into the machine with ConnectBot, then set up a port forward to localhost:5901 which AndroidVNC then connects to.
Also, has anyone tried NX?
I'll assume you're a windows user?
Make sure RDP is enabled on your PC (google it, really easy to enable)
If BOTH machines are connected to your network... get the PC's IP address (via cmd ipconfig) and connect to it using the RDP port (3128 on Windows)... ex: "192.168.100.199:3128"
If you want to use RDP away from home, you need to configure your router to forward any external connections on the RDP port directly to your PC. Then you'll want to connect using your external (router's) IP address. Ex: 111.222.333.444:3128 => 192.168.100.199:3128 .... then connect to "111.222.333.444:3128"
I like LogMeIn free and logMeIn Ignition great little app. also teamviewer has a free version and free app for android
