** 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

Remote Desktop

Ok peeps i downloaded the remotedesktop.cab from one of the threads in the forum. I installed it but i cannot connect to my pc. Here are the fields and what i put in them.
computer - i put my ip address
user name - i put my admin acc name not the pc name. Is that correct?
password - well yeah....
domain - i leave this one empty, cause i don't use one.
Now, when i click connect...the following appears.
connection status ok
Cannot connect. Likely
reasons are:
1. Specified computer name
or ip does not exist.
2. A network error occurred
while establishing the connection.
Does aynone know what the problem might be???
I use win xp pro sp2
I got a router.
In the field i put the ip thats shown when i visit one fo the "what is my ip" sites LOL.

I am making this reply through my remote desktop connection...
Computer IP addr. is the Actual IP address of you Desktop computer...
UserAcctount info: use the Administrator's user name and password
Domain not needed if not on a enterprise network!
Make sure on your Desktop computer under system setting.....
You allow remote connection to the computer.
If you are on your computer when you connect to it with your X1. The screen will "logout the user out" and show it is being remotely access!
hth,
Stuart

Could someone point me to a remotedesktop cab that is sure to work on the Xperia?
There's a lot of them...

Here is the link to post. There is a reply I made with an attached cab..

The above post was assuming your are accessing through your local net!!
If you are accessing through the INTERNET is a bit different!!
The Ip Address Will be the One that is display through Whatismyip!!
But you will also have to make an Entry into the "pinhole" list in your router. This pinhole entry will be pointing to your PC your are trying to access!!
So when you access your INTERNET IP address(router) it will direct this traffic toward your PC!!

I don't have a tab named "remote" when i click on system. I'm using a custom xp pro and the guy who did it apparently deleted all remote functions Is there a download or something to fix that.

Well on the local network side, your ip address should be 192.168.xxx.xxx. So access directly through your wifi network, You will need the Local address of the computer.
______________
Then on the Internet side. the router/gateway acts like a smart traffic cop! It directs the traffic from your PC destine for the Internet. Also it redirect response traffic from the Internet to the specific Computer that has made a request on the Internet!!
But remote access is different. You on your X1 is Initiating contact through the Internet to a computer that is behind the Router/Gateway. So for this traffic to be directed to the right computer, a Pinhole is created. A pinhole is essentially a direct route through the router for the Internet traffic to be directed to the correct PC!!
Well on a custom XP install it is hard to tell if just the services were turned off. Or they were actually removed!! In this case it sound like one of the Remote access service like GoToMyPC would be easier. Unless you want to re-install a FULL version of XP Pro!!
All is not loss yet! Also check on MS knowledge-base support site. do a search for this exact problem. There might be a download for the remote access service!!
Good Luck,
Stuart

Remote Desktop Mobile Configuration

can anyone give me a step by step guide on how to configure the remote desktop? btw i am using windows 7

On the Phone in Remote desktop mobile :-
In the box Computer put your pc's IP address
In the box User put the pc's users registered name (not the computers name) ie the name you use when you log on to your pc guest user etc.
In the box password put in your pc login password
In the box Domain put the full computer name found under my computer properties.
On your pc under my computer properties - remote - tick allow remote access
You should be ok to go - make sure your phone has a data/internet setting enabled and is active.

Oh and don't forget to adjust your firewall settings to allow your HD access

thank you very much, it funny how you give the simplest instructions and it all works in one go and the rest are so complicated etc haha thanks man

ah there always has to be a problem, 1) i cant see the keyboard even witout full screen. 2) when i try to login i get an error "Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are blank passwords not allowed. Logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has been enforced" HELP!!

I had the keyboard problem too.
I use finger keyboard and in the display option of Remote Desktop I ticked "Fit to remote desktop" Be careful it allows you to tick the other box as well.
Also colours = High Color.
As to the other messages it must be a Windows 7 issue of more parameters having to be entered.Also I log off on my pc before I connect.
Hope this helps

Remote Desktop problem HD2/win7

Hello
i connected my HD2 to my PC using the steps shown in the tutorial vids
almost all the steps went good except for when i press connect the log on screen of my win7 appears with a message saying password or user name is incorrect
it is really strange i tried every possible option to avoid that , even i canceled my user name password request just hopping to make it work
but the error msg keeps appearing ..
please help

Hi newbe here. Im having the same brob with mine any Help Plz.

If i remember correctly, no password at all won't let you connect. (not checked that, just a memory)
Also, in win7, go start - control panel, system, advanced system settings, move to the remote tab, and look at the three options at the bottom. If it is set to 'allow connections running remote desktop with network level authentication(more secure) that is probably your problem. Change it to the middle option 'Allow connections from computers running any version of remote desktoip'

Are you on Domain pc ? if then use username as Domain\username or
computername\username e.g Bingo-pc\Bingo
and make sure you have set password for the user name.

Do you want to connect to your home pc or some remote server? Some servers with Win7/WinSrv2008R2 have an issue with a security certificate. I was unable to solve that issue with RemoteDeskopMobile...

no i am not on domain pc ... i just have my administrator account username and password thats it

Can you connect from another PC? That would at least confirm or rule-out that it's a problem with RDP on the HD2. It may be something to do with Windows 7, because it works effortlessly on Windows XP.

I have used it HD2 to remote desktop on my dell M1210 running Win7U 64bit with no probs had to sort Kaspersky to let it throught but been fine after that.
Maybe it's your anti virus/firewall.

Incorrect password issue while RDP using HD2
Ok here is a possible solution to the problem for users with Windows 7 64bit Ultimate where HD2 throws Incorrect username password while trying Remote Desktop Connection
I have been trying the user name that i use while logging in.
However that does not work so
Type ‘System Information’ on run/search command on windows 7
You shall see the correct user name you need to use on the right hand panel.
Good Luck Have a good day
RainMan

premium vs. ultimate?
I spent a whole day trying to remote into my Windows 7 Premium from my HD2 - no luck
Do you know if the issue is the "Premium" edition? If it was ultimate it would be easier?
Thanks in advance

no, the premium and the ultimate should be the same.
2 of teh most common mistakes are
1 - you MUST be remoting into an account with a password. If your PC account hasn't got a password set, (or if it has a password but is set to auto log in) it wont work.
2 - IN the system properties - remote tab, in the lower half, three options, dont allow/allow from any/allow only with network level... blah blha.
If it isn't set to the middle option, 'allow connections from computers running any...' then it wont work.
(oh and of course if you are trying to remote in using your mobile data connection, you will need your external IP, not your target PC IP address ((assuming you have a router)) and the router will need to be configured for port forwarding( or set to allow for the PC opening a port using uPnP)

Any help there will be much appreciated. getting bonker over this.

Same probleme here , I thought I was the only one

i am going nuts soon! ARGH!

when you choose to allow remote desktop connections, make sure you use the
"allow connections from computers running any version of remote desktop (less secure)" otherwise it wont connect.

Window xp only have 1 option to choose from .
Remote Desktop : Allow user to connect remotely to this computer.

First try to connect from other normal computer.

did you open wifi in hd2?

yes i enabled wifi .
@@ dr.sid. i only have 1 Pc.

if you guys are behind routers, make sure you have the right port forwarding set up and check the ip address of your comp from the router. Also, make sure you're connected to router via wifi on you phone

hi svegetto. appreciated for your reply and help. but i had already done what you stated in my 1st post. but the problem still occur

This is all out of memory, so I appologize if i'm wrong, but don't you need to also add port forwarding for port 80?

tried forwarded port 80 does not work too.

Tried it today, but it's not working for me either :/
I've gotten it to work before so I don't know what's going on...
I know that I use the correct ip and username + password

try this
Enter the domain name as the full computer name with no spaces as well as user name/ip (public or local).
In comm manager go to set up data connection and select adavanced tab.
under connections select 'select networks'.
Then select the edit tab on the my work network, followed by the proxy tab on the bottom. Then tick box ''this network connects to the internet''.
press ok and then try and connect. This works a treat on 3g. have not tried on wifi but i guess its the same.
