Remote Desktop Finally Sorted - HD2 General

Ok so I finally got it going over 3g anyone else managed yet??
anyone no if I can shut-down my pc using Remote Desktop I just get the options to log-of ???

I'm pretty sure you can't shut down normally using remote desktop. You could try setting up a shortcut on the desktop that shuts the pc down, then just double click it when you are done.
(Not sure how you would set that up, but the theory is sound )

Run a DOS prompt (Start, Run, cmd) and type shutdown /? - it will give you a list of shutdown options that can be run either via a DOS prompt, or, as samsamuel suggested, create a shortcut that runs it.

Or just get the task manager up by holding your finger on the task bar

Sorted, cant believe how long it took to get it working from 3g, just sat down today got my head on and bam first time, so i should be able to connect to my pc from someone else's wifi as well right??

Yeah. Via your data connection and via someone else's Wifi just uses your external IP address, so they're exactly the same (just probably cheaper and faster )

Hey sorry for my ignorance but how did you get it to work. i Tried it over my wifi and my 3g both didn't work. port forwardded 3389. I said to allow other computers even running other versions of winwos to access my windows 7 pc through my computer properties. I used my internal IP address over my wifi 192.168.xxx.xxx and i tried my external ip adress was 172.xxx.xx.xxx. and it just won't work hasn't worked sinc ei got the phone. I love the phone but still it bothers me i can't get this to work anyway got any advice?

Controlling PC over WiFi

Is there a program that allows you to use your Wizard to remotely control your PC over Wifi?
I remember my friend had one on his Universal that allowed him to use bluetooth to control his PC but I don't remember the name. Also, not sure if it was the phone's fault but the picture was slow to refresh. Unfortunately, he's now sold his Universal and said good riddance to anything affiliated with it...
There were a couple of programs that let you use your Wizard as a keyboard input device but do these also let you control mouse and let you see what's going on?
Yes, try this!

there is a terminal services client built in as well...
Thanks for the replies.
Yeah... the in built Terminal Services Client didn't work for me and I guessed that it was just the inbuilt stuff being useless.
Unfortunately the vncviewer doesn't seem to work either. I'm beginning to suspect that there's something wrong with my Wizard or my home WiFi setup in general.
Oh well, time to go fiddlin'
On my device it works perfectly. You can also run the program on your desktop pc to test it.
Can you ping your pocket pc from a desktop pc?
No, I can't ping my Wizard; I tried this first and nothing goes through.
I had thought that my router wasn't letting anything through but I can ping the other computer on my network just fine.
I did try the program but I can't connect to the other computer on my network. I only know the basic home networking stuff so it's probably something to do with my wireless router. Do the ports matter?
The ports don't matter because ping takes place far under the TCP/UDP layer. On my router (fritzbox 7050) there is an option where you must allow that wifi devices may communicate with each other in general. This is the only restriction I can think of if your other computers are hardwired.
However, I can ping my wizard just fine when he's connected to my router. Have you enabled DHCP? If so, try to (disable it and) manually assign an IP to the wizard.
My router (Belkin F5D7633) doesn't have any options to enable or disable communications.
I tried assigning the IP address manually and switching DHCP off and this has allowed pinging but I still can't use either the inbuilt terminal services or the vncviewer.
I think I'm going to give up trying to use my Wizard for this and just stick with a laptop...
Maybe this should be said, but I thought you surely know ....
In order to use the vncviewer program, there has to be a vncserver program running on some machine. try realvnc for example http://www.realvnc.com/.
Install this on a local desktop machine and then try that viewer again.
If you already did that, then sorry :wink:
:lol: Don't be sorry. Actually I already have the free verison of VNC running on all my machines and I have a license for Access Remote PC from a while ago to transfer files when my Windows XP stopped displaying some folders across the network.
I think that's where my problem is: either in my network or in my operating system. I do access my PC from my laptop but I just thought it'd be nice if I could do it from my phone too. Oh well... but thanks for the help though, you've been very thorough :lol:
no problem :wink: the last thing I would try in your case is to open up a general server on your desktop pc with a program like netcat. then grab a telnet application or the internetexplorer on ppc and try to connect there with that. worth a try at least...
How can i use this with macs? Is there another software available?

Touch HD and a macbook?

Does the software that comes with the phone ( on i cdrom or dvd) work on OS X or is it windows only.
thanks

No it won't run on OS X. I use a Macbook with mine using Missing Sync which works very well for getting your contacts and calendars on the device. Everything else I put on manually or if desperate run VMWare windows emulation and activesync.
Missing Sync is here http://www.markspace.com/.
Hope that helps.
And if there is an .exe file you can run windows on your mac just to run those files (if you cant find the cab).
The best way to sync your HD with Mac is using exchange. You can goto mail2web to get a free account there and follow the instructions there to setup your Active Sync. I am now auto sync with Entourage all the time and it is free
I use syncmate. Works great for me http://mac.eltima.com/sync-mac.html
Says you only get a 30 day free trial on that site (mail2web) for hook up. $14.95 a month, or did i miss something (i hope)
Guys what do you do with .exe files? How do you install them?
Go back to the site and get a cab, or google for one, when you (someone on Windows) installs the program the cab can be copied and kept. Some kind souls post these where Google can find them.

I can see your point!
i have a question....am considering a Macbook Pro, deal breaker would be if Internet Sharing on Touch HD didn't work on the Macbook, i want Macbook for travel and need THD to provide the internet access
so, does it work?
You can set up a portion of your mac to run windows.
you mean dual boot or what? and that's a no on OSX Internet Sharing?
damn
I haven't tried this myself as I haven't needed to run windows but you can try this, its free...
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/virtualbox-running-windows-on-a-mac-for-free-sort-of/
that looks like a messy work around for a very basic thing :/ i'll rather go with Vaio SR then and avoid having to install guest OS just to get online :/
but if someone could tell me what happens when they plug in Touch HD into a Macbook and press Internet Sharing Connect it would be kinda helpful

I don't think it should be a problem at all as long as you set up on the Macbook and HD. I can't try it because I don't use dial up any more. These are the set up dialogues you get when you select Internet Sharing after plugging in USB to the Macbook.
same as on pc, next step is to press that connect at the bottom and laptop should connect to net via TouchHD....it's not dial-up, it's using your 3G data package for net on laptop
on pc i plug it in, get that dialog, press connect and it says "checking usb connection" and then "connected", laptop network icon says "Network: Internet Access" :/

That's exactly what I do: I have a MacBook Pro with Boot Camp and in the second partition I installed WIndows XP just to do what I can't with OS X.

Ok yes sorry I don't have a sim card in Blackstone. This is what I got using Diamond 2. I couldn't find the settings on the Mac to connect though. It is time consuming at the moment so will look at it later. I am sure it will work.
Yes it does work and have made connection. You must use Bluetooth and connect to the device from computer first then connect to Internet Sharing. Finding the settings and connecting is a bit fiddly on the computer but it does definitely work. USB does not seem to work at all. Let me know if you need anything else.
no, that was all i needed to know, thanks if BT connection works, it'll do, and it gives me hope i'll be able to convince it to use usb as well
Macbook is supposed to be my second/travel toy, so net access is the only HTC related thing i need....i'm sure i could flash from it if i wanted to, and i don't use WMDC or Activesync anyway so i won't miss that, MS MyPhone is net based and practical :/

Touch Hd 3G vodaphone uk lose of connection

Hi guys,
Been looking around all day for a fix for this. I thought it was just a setting issue so have been try all kinds of setups from what vodaphone have on their website to what i have googled and still have the issue.
I can get on to the internet after a reboot but after a while it will lose connection and i will get two arrows one left and one right on top of each other instead of the normal "G" icon. As so as this happens i lose all connection to the internet and cannot get back on unless i reboot the phone a few times then the "G" icon comes back and the internet is back up and running.
Its my only grip so far with this phone everything else is great.
Any ideas
Damo
wierd. that sounds like the activesync icon...You're not connected to your PC via cable/bluetooth are you?
Stupid question I know, but best to get it out of the way.

oh my god i am such a noob, i did not know that when the usb connection is connected the interenetconnection stopped......hang is that right, should it still not connect to the internet?
Thanks
Damian
When you plug it into the PC, it will try and use the PC's internet connection.
On the PC, open activesync and go to file, connection settings.
Make sure that the option called This computer connects to is set to the internet.
Also, tick the box marked Allow wireless connections... then it should be able to connect while plugged in.
If you have vista and WMDC, these options should still be around, but as i have avoided vista like the plague, i can't tell you where they are cos i simply don't know.

Hrmm. Have you managed to connect via remote desktop in the past?
What internal IP addresses are showing on your router? (192.168.1.xxx, need the 1.xxx only)
Did you place your PC that you are connecting to in the DMZ first? (This may solve it)
Did you turn off your PC's firewall and try it then?
Please post back with specific steps you've taken and I'll see if I can help
---EDIT---
Also, please post back with your computer specs (Operating System, Manufacturer, etc).
never used remote desktop before. DMZ didnt work. Left dmz on though. My fire wall has remote desktop as a firewall exception. and what do you mean by : What internal IP addresses are showing on my router?
Oh, i have a compaq presario on windows XP. Also i heard something about doing it though 3G, would that be easier. I have a [email protected] router too
I'm not familiar with the [email protected] setup, sorry.
Since you put your PC in the DMZ, this means you can access your router and the settings. Check for "Connected Devices" or something of the sort. It should list the internal IP addresses of all connected devices.
I don't know how to find it under Windows Mobile, but on Windows you can do a start->run->command and then type in ipconfig in the black box that shows up. Unfortunately this isn't so useful without the same info from your phone...
well there are a bunch of IP's, the one for my phoe though is ...1.112. what else do i need???
Okay, so we can be sure that your phone is connected to your home network.
Have you attempted to setup your computer for using Remote Desktop in the past?
This link goes to a tutorial for setting your PC up.
Also, I run Linux, so I haven't used an XP PC in a while (run Win7 on my other 2) but don't worry. I'll be back in the morning to check the boards and see how you got along. If I can't figure it out, I've got friends (and so do you, now ) that can help us figure it out.
hi there i too had a problem getting it to work 2 actually. first make sure u dont have an AntiVirus with a firewall "Lookout AntiVirus "on your phone. that caused problem #1 second make sure u have gserver installed on your pc, and then add gserver.exe to the exception list in your firewall settings on ur pc. goodluck let me know if get it to work

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:
http://www.ehow.com/how_5232336_use-remote-desktop-mobile.html
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
You need Pro version of windows XP-vista or Windows 7 to use Remote desktop
I have Windows 7 Ultimate... but i ask about small window in PPC (Touch Pro 2) which let me navigate after zoom in.
