Hi,
I'd like to connect my X1 to my office (Vista PC). I've downloaded WM6 Remote Desktop. I've entered Compouter adress with port, user name and pass, but when i want to connect I've the message 'Cannot connect. Likely reasons are : Specified computer name or IP does not exist or A network error occured while etablish the connection'.
In fact, the X1 does not open the connection in 3G.
Thanks for help

Iirc, remote desktop only works on Wifi. Though I can't tell for sure. Can anyone confirm?

Remote desktop works on 3G and HSDPA too, but it won't connect on its own.
You have to activate the "Data Connection" (for example via CommManager) before starting the Remote Destop app.
Actually Remote Desktop will only work on 3G and HSDPA if the 3389 port is not filtered by your carrier.
In my case...only the http (80) ,smtp (25), imap (143) and pop3 (110) ports are not filtered...
You will probably need to set your router up to forward the port to your vista pc.
I have RDP setup and can connect by connecting to my routers external ip (or you can set up a dyndns account and go to the domain name like I did)
You just specify the vista pc ip (if it has a static ip) in your router config and direct all incoming RDP requests to the specified ip.
I tried and forwarded 3389 from my router to my pc to which I tried to connect. It worked indeed. Slow as hell (too slow to work with), but proof of concept.

I use it over Vodafone HSDPA and it is quite useable. Not sure why you are having issues though.

Same here. Not slow or anything. Ok for viewing documents or performance graphs.
For first-time users I recommend, in order to get the best experience:
In "Options" set it to "High color (16bit)", "Full screen" and "Fit remote desktop to screen".
PS! I'm not sure how much more bandwith is used when setting it to use "High color", so if you don't have unlimited data plan or are not using wifi - watch your data counters.
Somehow it doesn't work for me. I'm connected over wifi, I set address, name, login .. it blinks .. and nothing happens. No error. Any idea ?
You have to open the rdp-port in the computers firewall too. And vista has be to setup for accepting rdp-connections.
i am no power user.. so i use logmein.. its easy !

I would like to use the built-in terminal services client to connect to one of our servers using the GPRS/VPN connection I am able to establish.
The problem is as follows:
I can establish the GPRS/EDGE connection to the internet. I then connect to the VPN and it shows that both connections are connected and data is running over the connection. I can ping the servers IP address, but as soon as I try to connect through the TS Client, it disconnects the VPN.
Has anyone been able to get this to work?
Be sure that your terminal server name does not has dots in the name. WM5 thinks that any name with dots is from Internet, and any name without is the Intranet ("my work network"). So, if you try to connect, for example, to the server named trm.company.com, WM% decides it is on the Internet and drops МЗТ connection.
To fix it: go to "Settings" -> "Connections" -> "Advanced" tab -> "Exceptions..." button, and add the server name with dots to the "Work URL" list.
If it helps, please, let us know here.
Thanks.
I have tried you recommendations and now the VPN does not disconnect. I think their must be some security enabled on the terminal server as I still can't connect. I think it must be something to do with Citrix or the encryption level on the server. I will investigate further.
Can you explain me waht is Terminal Services Client? (Any screenshot?)
Can I use it with my Jamin and laptop with USB cable or WiFi?
Many thanks!
The terminal services client is an application which is included in the ROM of most PDA phones. It allows you to connect to a terminal server from you PDA much like you would normally do it from you workstation using Remote Desktop. Remote Desktop Client = Terminal Services Client
If you go to Start, Programs on your PDA you should see the application listed there.
You can either do one of the following to use the client.
1. Connect you Jamin to you PC using the USB. You will need to activate the Modem Link application. Dial the GPRS connection from the PC and then connect to the terminal server using Remote Desktop on you machine.
2. Open a GPRS connection on the PDA (Not Connected to the PC). Open the terminal services client on the PDA and connect to the terminal server.
Great!
The connection must be always GPRS? I'll pay for do this?
Have you some screenshot?

Relaxxx! If you don't know what is it - it means that you don't need it at all
To access aremote desktop you need any IP connectivity: GPRS, EDGE, WiFi, but the desktop you connect to is not a service It can be your home PC or your business server, but it is not a thing you can use as, for example, any web site.
You need to establish a server by yourself or got an account for your company IT guys. You will pay for IP traffic, of course...

I've checked out the remote desktop with Win2000 server, but without VPN, on the Active Sync connection, it is OK. Ensure that your server uses RDP protocol (Microsoft), not Citrix propiertary protocol.
hey guys,
am trying to connect to my office's VPN with my vario II. the default software provided does not seem sufficient. for one, i have one of those security key ring things which means my password changes every time i want to connect.
my pc uses cisco's vpn client...
any ideas? right now i'm just synching my exchange server with my pda using activesync, but wouldnt' midn having it on the go! there's no "external" access as such for the exchange server - it does have a web front end but its highly customized and isn't as easy as just configuring it as an external data source on my pda...
This one works perfect for me..

We use AnthaVPN at my university and it's supposed to work quite well with Cisco concentrator gateways, but be warned, if you have the latest 3.3 aku, you might run into problems like I did regarding loosing 3g internet connectivity on your hermes. However it could have just been a fluke as I didn't bother trying a fresh install of antha after a hard reset or anything since 3g is just as fast as my universities wireless internet anyways
Hope this helps
You can also try Bluefire. They have a 30 day fully functional trial version.

I have installed this but can't see any way of configuring the VPN connection. How did you configure it?
You have to use the PC client in order to create a configuration file and then transfer the file to your device
duh!
thanks!
bluefire is amazing. i bought it.
I came close to getting bluefire to work on our Cisco network... But once connected it would not transfer data.
I read on a seperate post here that alledgely the medianet unlimited plan uses the wap.cingular access point. That point is NAT based and some vpn clients do not like that... So they refuse the connection based on changing ip addresses.
I am not a networking expert so I do not know if this is in fact the case.
I do know I tried every freakin setting for bluefile and could not get a vpn tunnel from my phone to our Cisco vpn... So I gave up!
NCP
Could I get more specific infos about bluefire? They wanted a 5 page survey before they would send me a (business) trial.
Well, NCP Secure Entry VPN Client works perfect for me with Lancom and other standard firewalls. And yes, configuration is made with a Win XP Desktop Application. Nice about this: They got a Desktop VPN client as well which will be configured exactly the same way. So if you got a working setting for your Laptop you can manually copy the settings and they will work on the PPC as well - thats what I did.
Ok i know i already saw the answer of this somewhere but i already looked for it and i just cant find it.
I have a athena and i would like to remotely connect to my pc that is on my office and use it remotely, i know there are programs to do this i just cant get the right words to find them.
can anyone help me out on this?
thankx
** 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
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

I set up remote desktop with mycloud/splashtop on my tf101. I can locally remote access my computer on the home network.
But I want to be able to access my computer from any network. Would the fact that when I was asked for permissions on my pc for either private networks or public networks, I checked private be the reason why i can't connect when using a network outside of my home network? If so, how do i change this permission.
Right now, when i try to connect to my computer using an outside network like my mobile data connection tethered from my phone, it says cannot reach.
You will need to do a port forwarding rule on your router. There r threads about this just do a search.

Is that the only thing I'd have to do? I wouldn't have to add it as a new device connection on my transformer would I?
i forwarded the 3 ports from this link http://support-remote.splashtop.com...nect-to-my-home-computer-from-outside-of-home
and still it says cannot reach.
Also, I enabled discover over internet with my google account on my computer.
under the status tab on the splashtop application on my pc, it says the streamer is online with the following ip addresses, and only my local area connection is listed.

You need to set the connection with your WAN IP not your local IP. On your PC go to whatsmyip.org or similar to find out what your current WAN IP address is.
If you don't have a static IP address your WAN IP will likely change at some point. You can get a free account at dyndns.com and set it up in your router (Google it). You can then connect to your PC using YOURUSERNAME.dyndns.org or whatever you setup in DynDNS.
The alternative is to use TeamViewer or LogMeIn or similar which will automatically keep track of your PC whenever it connects to the internet.
Remote access can be real pain in the butt when you are accessing over the WAN.
As mentioned in posts above you need to set up port forwarding on your router, ensure there are relevant firewall exceptions and use your external facing IP address and set up a dynamic DNS account if you don't have a static IP - some routers have built in support for dynamic DNS.
Log me in is a good free service for this but the android app is pricey (and not very good IMO) - while the interface is not ideal it does take away all of the annoying hassles.
If you do go down the dynamic DNS, port forwarding route you might find that remote desktop via 2X RDP or similar is better than splash top anyway - although you can't do remote desktop on windows vista/7 home editions.

Just an FYI, but auto discovery doesn't work on the Android client yet, though it is coming (it is experimental in iOS).
Wyse PocketCloud does have this facility, though it doesn't stream video/games like Splashtop.

I would try TeamViewer. On your PC you can install the host version. That way you can access your PC before login. TeamViewer works without making changes in your router/firewall.
The Android TeamViewer client is free.

I finally fixed my issue with doing this last night. I was forwarding all 3 ports but I was doing TCP and UDP (which I must say I've done many times before and never had an issue) but I removed the forwarding from UDP field in my router and just left the 3 ports forwarded in TCP field. Today I can now connect and perfectly use my PC from work using Splashtop w00t!
