yes, many athena users use terminal services/remote desktop to reach their desktops or servers. You must be able to get to port 3389 (or other port used for remote desktop) on your home or work network.

Firstly log into your router and open port 3389.
It is best to test your connection with Wifi first as at least then you know you're halfway there!!
On Vista Ultimate (which is the same as mine) enable remote desktop connections to your computer. This is found in control panel/system/remote (tab) on xp - should be somewhere similar on Vista.
You also need to enable a password on your computer's login page.
You should now be able to log into your pc via wifi by entering your pc's IP address (found by entering IPCONFIG on the command prompt) on the remote desktop mobile display.you will need to enter your login name and password below this. There is no need to enter a domain name.
If you have a static IP address you should also be able to login this way over 3G. However if your connection is dynamic (such as with Virgin Media) you will need to go about it slightly differently. register with www.no-ip.com and they will provide a free static address for you. No-ip runs in the background on your Vista pc and you simply login on your pocket pc with the address they provide (rather than 192....laadeedaa) - for example (yourname).no-ip.biz.
Everything should then go hunky dory.

thanxs very much for the interest.i`ll try it.

help needed to set up Remote Desktop

can anybody tell me how to setup remote desktop from HTC to my PC (I am using Windows 7)
Step by step please guys

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCs4GQma7IQ
With that guide I made it work, good luck.

I did exactly everything in this guide and even set a corresponding exception in the Windows firewall (also tried with Windows firewall off) - but the mobile remote desktop program always tells me there was an internal error... But what the heck could that be?

Dont bother the remote dt program is ****e, im currently using vnc which is a bit better, but rather lacking also.

Is it me or did that video not mention setting up your windows machine to allow connections.
Make sure remote desktop is enabled on your PC and make sure it is allowing connections from computers running any version of Remote desktop(2nd option) third option works between windows 7 machines but wouldn't allow my phone to connect.
Your error sounds like it is being caused by something on the phone end though so i dont know if that will help.
Those with remote desktop working can you get it to go landscape? Mine works fine except i can't get landscape mode. Also anyone know of a app that can send wake up requests to a machine? I have this on my laptop so i can wake my pc over the internet and then log in. Anything similar out there for win mobile?

allowing a connection through windows firewall alone is not helping, if you have other system securtiy programs that also has a firewall. or maybe your router has a firewall too. you should try and forward the right port (3389) in the software of your router.

I opened port 3389 on the router, I activated the correct remote desktop option on the PC (Vista), the IP is right (wrong IP adress throws a different error, so the program gets that far)...

I guess you have Windows 7 Home version

Have you tried using 16 bit high colour option? Mine said it couldn't connect when i turned it down to 256 colours.
Edit: Windows 7 x64 btw

OK on my windows7 x64 ive turned on remote desktop and set it to allow connections (2nd option) and i still cant connect, what do i type in user/pass on the hd2
-ive setup the portforwarding on my bethere box
-tryed both color modes on hd2
does it have to be over wifi or can it be over 3g?

Your user name and password for windows.
You MUST have a password set up on your windows account to be able to use remote desktop. If you don't have a password set up remote desktop and other network related access will not work. I.e using the phone to access shared windows folders.

ok ive added a password to my pc but still wont work, i think i tmay be something todo with this steps
2. Open a web browser, and type 192.168.1.1 to access your router. If you don't know the default username and password (usually admin/password), Google for it.
3. Enter port forwarding. Add a new entry using your local IP address, and the start/end port of 3389.

my router is a THOMSON TG585v7 and to log into it i need to type http://192.168.1.254 so i did and the only thing like port forwarding i can find is the Toolbox\Game & Application Sharing menu and in their i can type the ports but cant type the local IP address as their no where to add it, ive added a pic that might help you help me

If you are accessing the machine via your wifi(i.e your own network) you should be able to do it without any port forwarding.
So punch in your machines local IP and your username and password. That should work(make sure it is using your WiFi and not still connecting via 3G). If you wanted to be able to do it via 3G/wifi(external network) then you will need to get port forwarding working.
Edit: Port forwarding guide for you. I think this is roughly the same version of router you have just different branding.

so in the last part of the setup i need to manually define it as the local ip, still not working if that's what i should do

The last step is applying the forwarding to your PC. So you should be able to pick your PCs name in the drop down box.
Have you tried just doing it over your local wireless network(forget about port forwarding for a minute.) Enter the local IP(could also just try entering the name of the PC though im not sure if that works) of your PC as the computer then your user name and password.

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.

Andrew
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

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.

[HOWTO] Control PC without bluetooth, data cable, 3G/GPRS, or a router.

First of all, I would like you all to bear with me since this is my first HOWTO in my entire life. I decided to make this one since the guides from this site are for Windows Mobile, and some do it in a different way. Also, since there aren't really that much info on the net about an Android VNC client.
There's Gmote and RemoteDroid, but they're not VNC clients, so you still have to "look" at your PC's monitor.
Onward!
1. Download and install any VNC server to your computer. There are a bunch, but for this example, I used TightVNC because it's free, and it has a Linux version (which is kinda old).
After installation, set your authentication password. Skip this if you've done it during installation.
2. Download android-vnc-viewer and install it to your phone. [http://code.google.com/p/android-vnc-viewer/]
3. Go to your phone's wireless settings and enable wireless tethering / portable hotspot. Try to set a password to prevent...you know.
4. Disconnect any wifi connection in your laptop/pc and connect to your phone's access point.
5. Start android-vnc-viewer. Fill in the stuff. What's important is you fill in the IP Address and the port correctly.
You can get your IP address by hovering your mouse at TightVNC's icon in the system tray or typing ipconfig in Window's command prompt. Linux users can get their IP address by typing "ifconfig -a" (i just use conky for this so im not sure xD)
And oh. the port by default is 5900. You can check at TightVNC's configuration page.
6. Skip the windows authentication username thing.
7. All other settings like the color format, configure to your liking.
8. Press connect!
I'll post screenshots tomorrow, and by screenshot I mean the pictures of the two connected.
For any questions and violent reactions, just reply And note: You can also do this by setting your laptop/pc as the access point. A program like connectify does the trick. Once the phone is connected to the laptop, skip to step 5.

Please elaborate...Do i have dial internet through my phone and access it on my pc????? Shud i connect the phone using data Cable???? Wat do u mean by "connect to your phone's access point"[\b] Does your methos involve internet access??? Please elaborate for us novice users...I want to use my phone's touchscreen as a mouse but dont want to buy a wifi dongle just so i cud use remote droid i do have a bluetooth dongle though

Do i have dial internet through my phone and access it on my pc????? Shud i connect the phone using data Cable????/quote]
No. Just tether with wifi. Think of your phone as a wireless router not connected to the internet. Once you've set up tethering on your phone, connect to your phone's tethered AP (default name is AndroidAP)
BUT,
If you just want a mouse alternative (not a remote desktop), i suggest you use Gmote.
