Networking

Sorry, but can someone tell me why do networking with my XDAII..like what benefits as I still get Internet connection over bluetooth

it's faster
you dont need a bluetooth and activesync for it to work it will work on any wifi network
did i mention how much faster it is ?
it's more reliable then bluetooth which always seem to give people trouble from time to time

how do I share files over bluetooth when connected to my pc. like see files i ve shared on my pc? thx

The only program I have ever tried to perform this task is called PocketLANce. This will install a server on your machine that runs in the system tray and gives an interface on your XDA that is similar to Network Neighbourhood. It works ok, but was a little unpredicatable on mine. Prolly through my own fault though.
Good Luck,
Rob.
PS.. If anyone knows of a similar app for use over wifi, please let me know

Was this using Bluetooth then? If so, cool! I didn't think the XDA2 had the right BT profile to allow LAN networking over Bluetooth. It's something that Tobias is working on with his Pocket Bluetooth Tools, but it wasn't available last time I looked.

ActiveSync PassThrough problem: IE only, no other apps

Hi All,
Recently, I bought a QTek 9100 and I absolutely love it! However, there is one issue that I did not find a way around it yet. It is very well possible I am doing something wrong, and not something with the software, and I hope you can help.
When I connect to my computer at work using ActiveSync, I can access the internet from the QTek only with Pocket Internet Explorer. Other applications, such as MSN, Skype or other thirdparty software, does not seem to be able to connect.
What could I do to fix that?
Any help appreciated,
Cheers,
Arno

Hi Arno,
I have the Orange SPV M3000 and upgraded the ROM to the latest Dutch version from Orange (2.18.1.3 NLD). When I connect the thing via ActiveSync, after some moments it complains about not being able to get an IP address. It is a warning box with the title 'Pocket PC Networking'. However, I am able to surf from within IE; sounds like the same problem.
I would love to hear what the reason and fix for this behaviour could be, if someone encountered this before, thanks.

Might be the same issue indeed. However, I am not getting any IP error messages though. It connects fine, it runs IE fine, syncs fine. It is just that other applications do not seem to be using that connection.
Maybe I need to set something up in the Conn Mgr or something, but I could not find out what exactly...

Windows Mobile 6 & Extra Dial String

Hello
I am using Windows Mobile 6 and want to make a connection from my Pocket PC to the internet using my mobile phone on a Bluetooth connection, on Windows Mobile 5 I would using the 'Extra Dial String' part while making the connection to *99# but in WM6 it has disappeared therefore I cannot make any connections.
Any tips?
Ta!
Kev.

Hi Kev, no but I am also needing that, if anyone could help It will be highly appreciated...

Same here I'm afraid...

WM6 did remove DUN networking on favor of PAN. It has been hacked to get back DUN. I am on dial up tonight do not able to find links for you but look for a thread I started about TOMTOM and DUN and look for mfrazzz's response. Also you can look for menneisys (sp?) posting on pocket pc mag or somewhere where he details how to do the hack.

In WM6 is really easy..
It includes an application called "Internet Sharing" (it must be in programs).
To use it, you only have to chose in 2 combo boxes:
1- If you want to share the connection via USB or Bluetooth
2- Which network connection you want to share
Then tap on Connect, and then plug the USB cable (or connect via bluetooth).
After this, you phone would be recognized by windows as a network connection (the one you shared).
That's it...
Just keep in mind that if your connection uses a proxy, then you have to set this proxy in the program that you want to use in the PC too.

hey seems u trying to connnect to idea internet connection ! well i have the same connection on the go on my pc using my universal. hey guys if u ppl get to know about it do share how do to the hack i tried dearching but cudn find much

This was a well known problem that was discussed somewhere. If I remember correctly, the idea of the solution is pretty simple, but the implementation is rather tedious.
As a matter of fact, those connection settings including extra modem init strings are stored in the HKCU-Comm->RasBook-<connection name> registry under the keys "DevCfg" and "Entry".
If you export them in ASCII, you will know what I mean. They claimed that you can export these registries (esp the "DevCfg" key) from a WM5 device (with your init strings of course), and import it back to WM6. Things would then work as you wished.
But the trouble is you got to get a WM5 machine or someone to try to do it for you.

Make the Phone as Wifi router

Hi! I have a small question:
I have a Desktop Computer (with Internet conection), HTC Diamond and a Laptop. Now, How can i share Internet conection from Desktop to my laptop via HTC DIamond?
(I mean make the HTC Diamond as wifi access point)
Thanks for reading!

I searched and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407563
Hope it helps,

I've try to read all the thread, try some soft but i found nothing could help me.

Download a program called WMwifirouter.
It gives you the option to share 3G, cable internet, and wifi on the phone via cable, wifi, or bluetooth. So any input can be shared through your selected output. After you install, run activesync on your desktop and connect your diamond. Check to see if your diamond now has internet access. If it does, run the WMwifirouter program and select how you want to share your internet (in your case WIFI).
The program is a shareware, try it if it works for you then buy it.
Let me know if it works for you.

Can u tell me which share type i will choose?
- usb to wifi
- wifi to usb
or...
I connected the Diamond with AC. I can connect to the internet by Diamond. I've try all the choice but it isn't work! May be I did something wrong... Can you help me?
ps: English isn't my language, so that, if u don't understand me, please tell me. Thank you !

RDT Remote desktop

hey there guys new one here just signed up not long a go i my sell got the htc hd2 from t-mobile seems pertty good but i got a little issue
Cannot connect with current connection settings to change your current connection settings tap settings
I’m running Windows xp home with a Dlink EBR 2310 Router.
I’ve forwarded port 3389
I have tried the local Ip-adress and my computer Ip-adress, and I have allow connection for remote desktop.
What am I doing wrong???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hum ok then i know same thing every forum you go to newbie thing well i used Google and the search bar

are you trying to connect while on the same network (i.e. you're at home on your phone where your computer, and router are)?
or are you trying to connect while at another wi-fi location? (away from the location where your computer is)?

at home please note remote desktop is new with me but however i found tutorials at pocketpc i know computers pretty well but this has me stumped....
what would it have to do with the net work? I should be able to connect to my pc even if i was down the street also my computer is not running off WiFi or a wireless router.

I'm no expert by any means, but I managed to connect to remote desktop by using this:
Computer: (use your computers IP address, not your routers)
User: (should be the same as your normal sign in)
Password: (self explanitory)
Domain: (Leave blank)
This worked for me, but I am on the same network as my computer.. I DON'T know how to log in from another wi-fi point.
Izod2010, let me know if this works (on your home network)
If somebody knows how to get remote desktop from an outside Wi-Fi point, please let me (us) know.

Cannot connect with current connection settings to change your current connection settings tap settings
so that's a no it didn't work with My IP or local IP

do you have the Wi-Fi on you phone turned on? I tried to connect without turning on my phones Wi-Fi the first time.
Once I turned it on.. it went without any issues.

nope still same message♠

should i use the router login?

check these out:

step 2 might fix it.
or check out youtube...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCs4GQma7IQ
(I didn't mess with my router like he said.. It didn't have those setting available to me)

yea no matter what i do it dont work i guess its either phone side or my pc not sure whats wrong.

oh, btw. what operating system are you running? I think you have to have XP professional or newer to run RDT... and like the one website said (that I linked to).. I believe that you need to go into it (on your computer) and allow RDT accessability from outside computers.
other than that, I have no idea.

finally got this working...
upsetting that i can't turn it off/on.. but still bad ass regardless

What do you mean? What can't you turn on/off?

For Remote Desktop you must have XP Pro. XP Home and all other "Home" Windows do not come with the Remote Desktop Server. They do come with the Remote Desktop Client (RDC) so you can connect from the "Home" PC to some other "Pro" system. But you cannot use Remote Desktop Client (RDC) from anything to cennect to a "Home" Windows System. For a "Pro" system, right click on "My Computer", select "Properties" and then select the "Remote" tab to turn on Remote Desktop Server.

I realize this thread is old and technically solved...However I just experienced this same error message and after searching and not finding an answer wanted to post what solved mine for the next person like me.
STUPID...but I just flashed a new ROM and couldn't get signed into RDM--My Data Connection was turned off by default on the new ROM. I didn't realize this until after getting extremely frustrated.
Hope it helps someone in the future

Did you get this to work?
Hello,
could you ever get this to work out??
It was working fine on my touchpro 2, and I used it almost everyday with no problem.
ever since I got my HD2, it NEVER worked, and I tried every way possible. Every time I asked I was told to do the steps mentioned in your post replies and they told me you're a newbie maybe you can't figure it out, Ive been using windows mobile for nearly 10 years now, and I used remote desktop since it was first launched!! and it worked perfect every time.
There is a problem that I can't figure out, Im a computer software engineer and Ive been trying EVERYTHING possible. Something is missing, and wm experts and neglecting this, thinking that we're newbies and just can't figure it out.

Can someone tell me how i can get a small navigation window in remote desktop ? Watch this vide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFiDZ_wBAtM&feature=channel PLS help

I have Windows 7 Ultimate... but i ask about small window in PPC (Touch Pro 2) which let me navigate after zoom in.
