Remote Commander, Help?

Merry late christmas every1,
i been messin around with the Pebbles software available at:
http://www.pebbles.hcii.cmu.edu/software/userguide.php#pcnetworkconnections
and well, it allows u to virtually control ur desktop from your PPC (i have an 8525).
it allows u to connect serially, via usb, infrared and to a network host thru the options menu here:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
its a nice program and works flawlessly thru usb and thru the network host when ur inside ur network i.e. 192.168.1.* and so on.
but ofcourse i have to push the limits and want to connect to my external IP so i can connect via 3g from anywhere, how cool is that..
and the port isnt shown anywhere so i connected via Wifi and ran netstat to notice:
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
------- -------------------- ------------------ ---------------
TCP myComputer:4343 192.168.1.*:1060 ESTABLISHED
i just forwarded both ports in my routers config as so:
i then pluggd my external IP into the network host text box on my 8525, clicked ok and was prompted by the pebbles server software running on my laptop whether or not to allow a connection from my phones 166.135.*.* ip, i ofcourse accepted and got an error from my phone, "Error: Network not available"
i tried like 10 times without making any changes and it connected once and ran perfectly, like i was connected over usb or wifi. i finished testing it out so i closed the connection and since, i havent been able to get it working.
i opened PebblesPC from my taskbar to see:
and noticed like 20 different 166.135.*.* IP connection attempts all from my phone.
wut ive concluded is that while connected to the internet on our phones over 3g, the IP changes so frequently to my device and doesnt hold onto a particular IP long enough for the pebbles software to fully connect and hold a connection like it has when assigned via dhcp to my internal network, but thats just my guess =X
any help is appreciated, suggestions are welcome and if theres any other software that can do the same then thats cool too, but id like to get this particular one working
o and its freeware so thats nice too

Try Logmein. Works flawlessly for me and allows me to access my work PC from home. Even to start it up and shut it down!!
Allows you to start up and shut down applications on the remote PC including printing etc etc.
You need to register but it's free:

wish u could add more special keys to send but its definately really good.
appreciate it =)

Also look for my forthcoming roundup of all remote control-related.

will do. definitely lookin forward to it. will u post it here in these forums?

Can anyone post the Hero's internet sharing USB drivers for XP?

Can anyone post the Hero's internet sharing USB drivers for XP? Or where to find it? I need it. Please....
After it has been installed, the OS device manager name will be "HTC remote NDIS based device" like this.....

The hero does not support internet sharing. netiher does the magic or the G1.
Are you thinking of Windows mobile devices??

what is this option for?
settings--wireless controls -- mobile network sharing (at the bottom)
To enable mobile network sharing, please plug in the cable?

You just need to download and install the HTC Sync from this page:
http://www.htc.com/hero/m/en/downloads/htcsync.html
the last 2 lines of the install instructions states:
(During the installation, a modem driver software for your phone will also be installed. It allows you to share your phone’s Internet connection to your computer when you do not have Internet access on your computer.)

this file is also on the sd card!

Well bugger me backwards, I stand corrected!
Has anyone actually got it to work though?

just tried it and it actually seems to work!
Once htc sync was installed from http://www.htc.com/hero/m/en/index.html it installed the network adapter and all seemed well apart from no traffic.
disabled sharing and started it again and all started going flawlessly.
maybe a little slow, but enough in a pinch.

Does anyone know if this will flag up on the operators system as tethering?
With 3gb allowance per month I can't use that all on mobile browsing!

It depends on the network.
I currently am using it on a three mobile sim with the 5 pounds a month 'unlimited' mobile browsing add on.
works fine and i have been using that sim in a USB modem for the last three months, so even if they can, it depends on whether the network actually cares or not!
I know that my t-mobile sim with W&W+ allows me to do it no problems as well, although i don't think you're allowed to on the standard w&w plans. Don't know about their new 'unlimited' flext plans.

Work WiFi

My work uses WPA2 and WPA2 enterprise WiFi network that is hidden, I could connect using my iPad, but since I liked the GTab 10.1 better I gave the iPad to wife and I bought one, now I do not see that option in adding a WiFi network. Does anyone know how to connect to WPA2 or WPA2 Enterprise as that option isn't available when adding it in the Wifi settings. I searched the forums and on Google but got different results but none of them have worked thus far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I seemed to find it ok... Make sure that you change "open" to "WPA2"

Okay I guess I overlooked that, duh! So that would work, but when connecting I need to provide a user name, on the iPad, I would select WPA2 or WPA2 Enterprise, guess it never mattered as they both worked. But on the iPad it had the following options:
1. Network Name
2. User Name
3. Password
Since connecting to our work address required a username just inputting the password wont allow you to connect. Any way i can add a user name so when it authenticates my user name will match the password on the network? thanks for all the help!

Well to tell you the truth im not too sure where you would put in a username... The closest thing that ive come across is my college... But they make me put in the username and my password in a browser window after i connect to the network... Sorry i cant help you there...

no worries, at least you were able to help me not overlook the setting, so thanks a million for helping! I am sure there is a way, but i guess until then my quest continues.

[Q] How to test if Wifi hardware works

I bought a HTC INC2 from a guy last week. It is unlocked so it works perfectly with my ATT sim and I managed to get 2G running. Then I checked the GPS, Camera and so on, everything looks fine until I wen back to home. Because there is no Wifi network in my work place so I didn't find the wifi seems not working. The phone cannot found any wireless network at all. I am sure I made the ssid is broadcasting. I was thought it probably not happy with my wireless router so I closed all security setting. But the phone still cannot find the open network. So I drove to our library where have public wireless access, still nothing. On my way back, I use my other phone as a hotspot, nothing happened even I put two phone together.
Here is a list of things I did in next couple days, went to a office building which hosted a lot of company. Almost all of these company have some sort of wireless network, my other phone in my right hand can found at least 10 networks while the INC2 which in my left hand can find none. I flashed the ROM to CM7, nothing. update radio, nothing.
Flashed to skyrider, nothing. update radio, nothing...
The guy who sold me the phone said the wifi is working perfectly when he is using it with verizon. He updated to iPhone month before so he didn't notice if the phone stop work with wifi after his update. He seems to me a honest guy.....
Now I want to test if the wifi hardware works. I really want to learn something from this frustrating thing. any idea?
TIA

Probably the wifi is not working. I do not own a HTC INC2 but can flash another radio/modem/wifi driver?
Also there is a hidden menu called Field Test Mode. It may have something about wifi. From wikipedia:
There is a hidden "testing" menu on the device that can be accessed by typing *#*#4636#*#* aka *#*#info#*#* on the phone's keypad. It will bring up 5 categories: Phone Information, Battery Information, Battery History, Usage Statistics, and WiFi information.
Other hidden menus from dial pad: (1) ##debug+call, (2) ##program+call enter six zeros example: 000000, (3) *#*#7262626#*#* - Field test menu, (4) *#*#2432546#*#* aka *#*#checkin#*#* - checks for updates, (5) ##778 (+call for Epst menu), (6) *#*#8255#*#* - Gtalk service, (7) *#*#8351#*#* - voice dialer logging enable, (8) *#*#8350#*#* - voice dialer logging disable

You could try a wifi teathering app check if it transmitting.

Re
check the wifi setting properly if this is not working then i think you should let some phone professional check it

It would seem that the OP resolved their wifi issue months ago.

nfc wifi connecting help

ok guys im allocating some nfc tags around the public bar i work at,.
i want to put 2 tags on the main bar that connect customers to our wifi, now i know i can do that with commands however
we are using a broadband system provided by heineken beer company, users connect the wifi network, but then must open theyre browser and click a default webpage that comes up instantly to connect to the network.
so how would i set the tags to
connect to the wifi and then click the "connect to heineken wifi" option on the default page?

Are you sure about NFC with its max range of about 20cm? Either way I would imagine that the WiFi hardware supplied takes care of redirecting the user at login

yes that is the idea, customer walks in touches the bar designated spot and connects to wifi,... we dont want a long distance force connect to every customer lol
the supplied wifi asks for the user to open webbrowser and click "use wifi" before actualy being connected. is there such command to get around this?
im on a secret mission to make our bar android friendly :highfive:

Could this the case?
To restrict wifi access to current customers and to make the connection easier (selecting correct wifi service and keying a strong passphrase) the customer touches the tablet onto the bar mounted NFC device and the network wifi config is beamed to the tablet and the customer elects to process the download and get immediate network access.

But it has a button in the middle of the page saying "free premium wifi" the user must click this button before actually being connected to the net,.
