Hi there,
I was wondering if Windows Mobile Remote Desktop (with WM6.1) can possibly work over Bluetooth. I have my computer and mobile connected via Bluetooth ActiveSync, and I have my computer configured to allow remote desktop, however, I can't seem to get the two to connect.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks!

highly doubt it, RDP runs on a tcp/ip based network. i dont think that htc phones are capable of that over bluetooth

Yes they are.
remote desktop over bluetooth works fine, i prefer to use realvnc for remote desktop connections though and mocha vnc client software on the PPC , in my opinion its much better than MS remote desktop software
I wish I could figure out why it isn't working then. All the settings seem to be correct. I'll need to try and hunt down a guide somewhere, or I will fiddle and get it working and write one
HI JADEL,
You can use app like BTREMOTE it's a client/server based application allowing you to control most of your apps on the PC.
Try it.

Hi there, I own a HTC TUCH HD, and I want to be able to get remote desktop over bluetooth!
I see you know how to do that, so if you would not mind giving me a short tutorial on what should I do?
thx
it works just fine over bluetooth but not over activesync connection you need to use PAN
when you connect it log out the user disconnecting the activesync connection
thats not the case with bluetooth PAN and wifi
how you set it up is not really a wm question all the setup required is on the pc
and the same setup that you need if using remote desktop from another computer
so google got piles of guides how you turn on remote desktop on the pc and open the ports it require in the firewall
thank you very much for the answer!
Good Afternoon to all,
Quick background info. I have a Touch HD successfully syncing with Windows XP SP2 & ActiveSync in my office, and also Vista Ultimate 64bit SP1 with mobile device manager (or whatever the inbuilt version is called ) at home.
The sync between all three works flawlessly and more than happy with it and have always got access to a working up to date calendar.
However there is one difference, when my phone is sat in its cradle connected via USB to my home PC (vista) it will sync but also allow data connection so, although not really required, it will continue to check for emails, update stocks etc etc. When I am in my office (XP) and try and use anything with regards to connecting to a data connection as listed above, it will not, displaying unable to connect on the weather/stocks tab, or just error in emails.
Any ideas how I can get the XP machine to do what I get with the vista machine? the only way i am working around it at the moment is on the XP machine unticking allow USB connections, removing and re-connecting phone and then it does not connect to ActiveSync and allows a data connection. This works but not the greatest way to do things as have to remember to do the reverse to sync it back again.
Sorry to go on for a bit but wanted to get in as much info as possible in the hope someone may be able to help with my dilemma.
Regards
Jody
Hi Jody,
Is your ActiveSync (on Windows XP) the latest available version ?
Have you checked that all settings are the same on both computers ? (well, as Active Sync is different from Mobile Device Manager, some settings are not called the same).
As a side note, how did you manage to sync your HD with Vista 64 ?
There are so much people complaining it doesn't work.
Did you use the standard v6.0 version "Windows Mobile Device Manager" that is already available in Vista, or did you upgrade to v6.1 ?
Cheers.
When it's synced at home, your Touch HD is using your computers internet connection to update stocks, weather e-mails etc.
When it's synced at work, your device is trying to use your work's internet connection, and failing. Your employer is more than likely not allowing the internet traffic. Do you know if you use a proxy server to connect to the web at work? Do you have unrestricted internet access or is there a firewall?
I do not know enough about how Activesync passes your internet connection to your device. Perhaps someone else knows whether or not this traffic is port 80 and whether or not Activesync automatically uses Internet Explorer's proxy settings, as it is not a global OS thing. Your mail will be pop3 or imap, which are not port 80, in which case the connection to your mail server may be blocked by your employer.
phonatrep - I sync my Touch HD with Vista Home Professional x64 fine straight out of the box, although I think I downloaded the latest WMDC from Microsoft because it does not come bundled with Vista AFAIK.
All the settings are correct, however we do have a rather strict internet firewall running through a proxy. Although I have unrestricted internet access, webmail access is blocked across the board, I am wondering if this is whats stopping me getting emails etc. As an interesting addition, the weather and stocks will update, just cannot use internet or receive emails.
As for syncing with Vista, I have Vista Ultimate 64bit and downloaded the device manager from the microsoft site as didnt find it as part of the original OS. As far as I remember did not hit any problems, other than me pressing wrong thing on the phone and syncing a complete delete of all contacts... oops! has worked perfectly ever since.

Could you please tell me if you use the device manager v6.0 or v6.1 ?
It seems that's part of the trick to make it work.

Same question, WMDC v6.0 or v6.1 ?
That would be very kind of you, sorry to bother you with that stuff
Thanks !
Anybody ?
That would really help me to know if that's WMDC 6.0 or 6.1 that really works for you on Vista 64 bit.
Thanks !
Am at work at the moment but will have a look tonight for you and let you know.

Just wanted to give some feedback too. I am also syncing with Vista x64 and XP x86 without any problems. I checked and am using the WMDC 6.0 on Vista, never had any problems since the very beginning.

That's strange I hear a lot of people using WMDC 6.0, which is the one included as factory default in Vista.
There is a 6.1 version that allows to use Windows Mobile 6.1, so I will need WMDC 6.1, but I haven't found anyone using WMDC 6.1 with Vista 64.
I have spent a lot of time searching all forums I know.
I still haven't found anyone successfully using WMDC 6.1 with Vista 64 bit.
(it seems everybody use v6.0)
Is there someone here that uses WMDC 6.1 in Vista 64 bit ?
Thanks !
Ok, I now have WMDC 6.1 installed on Vista 64 bit.
I can sync my HTC Touch HD without any problem.
Please note that I followed this procedure :
-Boot as administrator.
-Install Outlook 2007.
-Reboot as administrator.
-Install Outlook 2007 Service Pack 1.
-Reboot as administrator.
-Install WMDC 6.1 (without the phone connected)
-Reboot as your standard user login.
-Connect the phone to the computer, using the USB cable.
Please note that Microsoft documentations are not consistent about whether or not you need to connect your phone "before" or "after" you install WMDC 6.1.
On some documentations Microsoft says "before", on others Microsoft says "after".
Well, I choose to connect my phone "after" WMDC 6.1 was installed and computer rebooted, and it worked.
Maybe people had problems because when they connect their phone, the default Vista WMDC 6.0 installs a driver for it, then WMDC 6.1 comes and have trouble replacing that driver by the new one.
Hi Guys,
After wasting a complete day on all of the different vnc and rdp programmes, trying to control my desktop computer THROUGH the internet WITH my pocket pc (HTC Diamond 2) I thought i'd just ask:
I won't get it to work, and I can't help but think that it's just a lame little thing I've forgotten. Nothing will connect. Logmein and other server services show me nothing. Logmein in particular only shows me a white screen when I try to login to my computer, nothing else...reloading the page doesn't help. The external desktop controller that came with my phone won't connect, due to reasons (the computer is not on for instance) I'm sure are not true.
I have a HTC diamond 2 pocket pc running WM6.1 and network compact frame (latest update) installed (3.5 I think it was.)
My computer runs vista 32bits and I've tried numerous servers and clients but nothing seems to work...
Just a few hours ago I though it might be the fact that my ip ain't static. So I've made a static IP using the portforward.com description for my thomson speedtouch 780 router modem. Tried everything again. nothing...
the only thing I can think of is that my proxy is screwing up all my attempts to connect my two most precious devices through the internet...but shouldn't logmein have passed those settings? (i remember pressing the "don't block" button when windows firewall asked me)
Top of that I've googled my *ss of searching for different kinds of clients, software, programmes and others, usualy being redirected to this forum. I even tried the bible thread about networking and everything, though my mind refused to read the whole thing extremely thoroughly...
To make my request and question very clear:
I want a program that can remotely access my desktop pc through my diamond 2 ppc, mainly for accesing and downloading files and folders I might need for school. Ofcourse full control for audio (so I can start music from my living room) would be nice, but it's not mandatory...
I'm running wm6.1 and have jbed installed on my ppc, and running windows vista 32bits on my desktop computer. I have a static IP and a port setup through my router modem on port 1986.
I've been searching for almost 20 hours with 1 lunchbreak in between....can anyone help me to an easy solution (including a step to step guide)?
thx in advance...
oh yeah, I think i've enabled the "Let other users control my pc" button in the external dekstop control options for vista, but most of the guides and FAQ's say there's another button. -one saying "let other people help me solve issues with my computer by controlling my desktop"
-one saying "let other people connect to my computer, doing whatever the hell they want" (not the actual sentence btw )
vista only shows me the first one, and I have it checked.....
Noone knows anything about this?
I'm also trying to look for a rdp server for vista, but for now it seems non-existent...tried ultravnc, and allthough it works when my diamond2 is connected through USB, as soon as I disconnect my ppc from the PC, it freezes. I did a reboot and tried without usb connected.....nothing....couldnt connect.
the only vnc viewer working on my ppc right now is the one from mocha or mochia.....but it's a trial version. other viewers won't work....
anyone?
LogMeIn with Diamond2 - problem
Hi, I used to be able to use LogMeIn in my old PDA running on WM5. But now after i've gotten HTC Diamond2, I'm unable use my remote access software anymore...
I've gotten my friend to try using his HTC Touch HD and it work too for LogMeIn.
A quick check reveal that our IE could be slightly different version.
Did you have any solution yet?
"Vista 32 bits" is unfortunately not very descriptive. What version is it? Not all versions include Terminal Services.
By static ip, do you mean that your external interface IP is static or that the IP your PC might have on an internal network is static? There's a HUGE difference!
You need port 3389 forwarded to your PC from your router. Enter your external IP address in the RDP client and it will get forwarded properly. Hell, I've got 3389 forwarded to a VM I'm running on my PC and it works great.
Diamond 2 can use LogMeIn
Finally got my HTC Touch Diamond 2 (Topaz) to use LogMeIn. My friend who uses Touch HD and can use LogMeIn easily...
I guess the IE in Diamond 2 is not Pocket IE (PIE).
Procedure:
1) I use this software to toggle IE6 to PIE.
http://discussion.treocentral.com/treo-pro/177752-toggle-between-pie-ie6-free-app-cab-file.html
2) Login to LogMeIn PDA
https://secure.logmein.com/pda
3) Follow normal LogMeIn procedures...
Happy LogMeIn!!!
I use Logmein's Hamachi (that is a VPN software) that give me a direct p2p connection between my HTC fuze any my computer. Then i use remote desktop and use the ip hamachi provides and it work excellent.
PS you need at add you PPC hamachi ip in you firewall
vnc is what I would use it's a good general solution to connect
anything with anything mac, linux , windows you name it and it's free
Hi all,
My device is IPAQ data messenger with WM 6.1, I tried to connect it to PC with windows 7 and latest WMDC, it connects and sync successfully.
Then I tried the following:
- Remote Desktop ( connecting over internet ) It works.
- Kinoma freeplay software, it connects to the internet and can download videos & pictures.
- Weather forecast it works.
but when I try to brows the internet using IE it gives me error message "Cannot connect with current connection settings, To change your connection settings tap settings"
I installed Opera 10 and same problem, could any one help me with this..
Thanks ....
Any help please...
As we dedicate here only to HTC devices, if yours is not listed here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
Probably is not build by HTC.
Good luck,
If you can sync you absolutely should be able to connect to the Internet. I have an older Ipaq 2415 with WM 6.5, but I don't have Windows 7...
Making that Device to PC connection is the most troublesome part and you did that, now you just need to search the "connections setting" issue. Sorry I can't be of more help, but since this IS for mainly HTC devices you may not get any more help
Ipaq Web browsing problem
Hi all,
Thanks for your replay, is it different between mobiles?? because I think it is related to the OS!!!!!
Any way, I did the following:
Settings-->Connections-->Connections-->Advance-->Exceptions
and I added the following string: */*, it works now but it did not worked with wireless connection, I don't know why

I have been using Hamachi and VNC Server. I can access and control my Pc from my HD2 and TYTn.
This combination has worked very well for me. I can watch my webcam from the phone and see what my dog is doing . Besides I can access my shared folders and listen to music, etc.
Hamachi by itself will be enough to establish a VPN connection and access your shared folders.

Hello,
you are writing that you can connect VPN on your HD2. Please, what software do you use? Can you upload it there? Because I want to connect from my HD2 to OpenVPN server, if it is possible.
Thank you for your reply!
Hi,
I use Hamachi as my VPN. Once you install Hamachi on your PC you can access it using the Hamachi mobile client.
Here is the to the Hamachi Mobile Client https://secure.logmein.com/labs/
I use VNC viewer for connecting to my RealVNC server. Here is the link to the original post that took me to the VNC viewer cab. I hope it helps

Hi everyone .
sorry to ask you guys but im new here and im so confused !
can anyone please explain to me how can i connect to a vpn with Hd2 .
i dont see any option to choose that when im connecting to the internet with my wifi connection ,so please help me .
Hamachi is not VPN, it goes through some 3rd party servers, so it isn't safe. OpenVPN should be okay.
a quick clarification to your statement:
google.fi/search?hl=fi&defl=en&q=define:Hamachi&sa=X&ei=-fdiTJGJN4OQjAfU3uCWAQ&ved=0CBYQkAE
the 3rd party server is only use for the initial negotiation of the connection between Pcs.
Hi there!
I've got OpenVPN installed and working perfectly
You can get it here:
http://ovpnppc.ziggurat29.com/ovpnppc-files.htm
I installed the german 2.1.0 version. Works almost perfect.
The only thing is, i have to disable htc sense to see the small icon located in a kind of task bar on the bottom of the screen. Does anybody know a workaround to access this Icon without turning htc sense off for the home screen?
This would be perfect.
Best regards
