the remote desktop client on my vario ii connects to my work desktop perfectly using our office vpn but it is rubbish! the screen doesn't scale well at all or provide any kind of zoom out function.
I have a vnc client which performs much better but it won't connect over the vpn it only works when connected directly to the office network.
forwarding ports is out of the question. so my question is this.
is there a vnc client for pocket pc which will work over vpn or is there a way to make the remote desktop client less rubbish
also are there any apps out there that will let me browse my work network over the vpn. resco doesn't seem to be able to do it even the ftp client won't work.
am I missing something about vpn connections as it seems the only two apps that work over one are activesync and the remote desktop client.
Did you tried to acces domain controler throught the VPN? If yes it is normal that it doesn't work; Domain controler require security enhancement in auth that pocket devices cannot deliver yet. The only way I know is to reduce the security enhancement by using the GPO on the concerned servers; but this is far of being a clean fix.
Just trying to use connect to a vnc server on my workstation. btw our domain controller is the exchange server and active sync works fine
Active sync & exchange do not use the integrate authentification & kerberos; it uses a plain text auth (crypted with the SSL certs), that's why it works. Even if you are on the LAN you will not be able to access your domain's controller shares because of security enhancement.
This is far from solving your issue; but I just wanted to make it clear. Concerning your issue I can't help you at the moment, I still didnt tried the VPN & advanced networking.
btw, good luck
I have set up a vpn on my home computer, no domain, and can't access shares or a vnc server on that either.
Hi Stemill, I seen your other post about the vpn issues with Resco also, I have heard in the past about vpn issues using the [email protected], are you using [email protected] or [email protected]?
I use the terminal/remote client on a daily basis, and it does blow, vj on the board here has made an app that allows fullscreen with the terminal client, and theres a Mocha remote desktop client that supports scaling but no fullscreen, both of which have their own quirks. The scaling makes the text impossible to read when its even at 25%
I have been working on connecting to the remote desktop on mac with vnc, and I've gotten as far as an error on authentification, so I know its possible outside of a home network, but I don't have a clue about buisness situations..exchange or vpn's.
I not even 100% positive about the wap issue, I just seem to remember reading something about it in the past.
Sorry I wasn't of much help, also I kind of have a question for you, I see you mention activesync, you're not activesyncing over an internet connection are you?, I'm working on installing apps that I don't have a .cab for over an internet connection, but the best route I had figured out was to install to a ftp share and then grab the .cab from there with Resco.
Best of luck to you.
Hi there.
I'm on t-mob in the uk. They have a 3g network with full internet access so i'm not using wap at all.
Thanks for the tips about the remote client tweaks. Do you have a link?
I'm using activesync to connect to my works exchange server to sync email and calendar. Pretty sure its not possible to sync over the air to a pc without using exchange. You certainly won't be able to grab remote files via activesync.
If we could figure out how to get apps to work over vpn you could set one up on your pc and (theoretically at least) browse its contents using resco without having to bother with ftp.
If it's not possible to get stuff working over the vpn then you've probably found the best solution already. use ftp or setup a webserver on your pc and host the cab files on that. pocket ie seems to let you install cab files directly from a link.
btw which vnc client are you using on your phone?
Hi, I forget a lot of the time that people here have so many different carriers, sorry.
Here's the link to vj's terminal addon app

And here's the link to the Mocha remote client app
http://www.mochasoft.dk/rd.htm
I used .Net vnc when I was able to get the authentification error
http://www.freewareppc.com/docs/netvncviewer.shtml
I think my problem on the authentification was with the apple remote desktop itself, I read about somethin in the authentification being non standard and sometimes the free vnc viewers don't work..but that was also pc to pc related, the same makers of the Mocha remote desktop also make a vnc client..that was gonna be my next try, I just haven't gotten there yet.
I inistally set up my pc to be able to remote to it from my phone and access aol chatrooms..well mainly one I have hung out in for years, then realized if I set up a server, I could install apps that I couldn't find in .cab form over the net with it, I used to have windows server 2003 set up with IIS(webserver) and the streaming media services, I'm wondering now if the windows streaming media really works with the pocket windows media, and if I could even use it with my gprs/edge connection, I'm still waiting on 3G, suprisingly the remote desktop isn't too bad on gprs/edge.
I'm currently waiting to get a new hard drive before I can really get to work, I'm testing on an old messed up xp install, and half the time I can't even access "my computer" or open folders without it crashin explorer.
Hello everybody,
I want to know if I can put an application on my PPC
HTC KAISER That make him act as a DLNA server ?
The aim is to share the PPC content with My TV or other
DLNA compatible reader, through my local lan.
Did someone know such a software or able to develop one.
I use in my Computer (Linux Mandriva 2009.1) a software called
minidlna, and it works fine with my TV, I can watch all the PC content.
Can some one help me.
Thank in advance.
I got my Transformer yesterday and I'm loving it! However I have some problems with getting VPN to work with country specific websites like my company's portal and bbc iplayer. I'm in cyprus for holidays and I cannot use any of these websites. I successfully created a vpn connection with my UK server but it seems that the browser doesnt use the vpn connection. When I navigate to findmyip.com it tells me that the ip is the wifis ip instead of the one provided by the vpn connection. This works well with my android phone so its a bit strange that it doesn't work with my tablet. Any ideas on what's going wrong?
idk my VPN works just fine.
I use OpenVPN and everything has been smooth. Not sure how default would work though.
You have tot tell your device to "se the remote (vpn endpoint) gateway. How you do this depends on what software you use.
Can someone put some more details about issues and if they are easy to resolve?
I live in Poland and I use VPN to watch Netflix / Hulu / ABC in US and BBC iPlayer (+ live channels), 4oD and ITV Player in UK.
So, VPN is kinda important to me
At the moment on iPad I do not have any issues.
Do you guys know: if Netflix app for HC will be available in USA can users from different parts of the world get it (easily) as well? With iPad all I had to do was to create account in US iTunes Store...
is wp8 will support VPN ... ???
Yes. I use VPN on my Win8 PC and the test tablet at my work. PPTP/SSTP/ICMP all work.
Haven't tried OpenVPN but should work no issues.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I use Shrew VPN....is free and support .pcf files
SInce I use HideIPVPN as my provider I have checked their Windows software yesaterday under W8 Release Preview.
Worked (desktop mode only) exactly as in Win 7.
Log in, choose server from you package - connect.
Netflix and Hulu worked without any problems under Chrome both in Modern UI and Desktop mode (tested only PPTP VPNprotocol but I do not see a reason for L2TP or SSTP not to work).
So, nor problems with VPN and Win 8.
This means I only need VPN on WP8 system as well + Market Enabler (as in Android) and it Christmas for me
+Hey guys
What about Hotspot Shield App !?!?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I dont see any reason why it should not work.
I can test it over the weekend when I reconnect HDD with W8 onboard
HSS works.. but not for the metro apps.
Because HSS only works for browsers as far as I know.
This is why I use VPN - all traffic, regardless of program creating it is directed to VPN server.
This means that I can use Spotify in Poland or watch Netflix on my iPad .
I have checked with W8 and both Chrome and IE in Modern UI mode use VPN as well (they got no choice).
I have read yesterday that WP8 will not support VPN but Secure SSL to access company servers - does any one know it this protocol can be used to change IP of a device? I suppose VPN servers would have to have additional software active to support this kind of connection...
Are there any known-to-work out-of-the -box Android TV devices that can use VPN with PPTP MPPE?
So far I have tried Firestick and Nvidia Shield, but neither of them have the part of Android OS that allows for internal VPN support like a Cell Phone does.
Please note, OpenVPN is not an option as it does not support PPTP MPPE so it cannot connect to any of our existing media servers.
For anyone getting ready to type a message saying how much better OpenVPN is and how unsecure MPPE is, please know that we already know this.
The servers are strictly used as pass-through video feeders and there is nothing that needs to be secured at all.
Changing them over to OpenVPN would slow them down too much (we already tried that) and OpenVPN does not support Local IP addressing for remote devices. (i.e. making a Remote Connection look like it's local to the server)
All we need is just plain old PPTP MPPE VPN on a Android device that can run Plex and supports a Remote Control .... seems simple enough.
Ideas?
