Hey everyone,
I'd like to know if any of you have had trouble with Remote RDP Enterprise from your phone to a server via VPN (3g and WiFi)? I ask because when I try it, I get a black screen and it doesn't connect. (once in a while, it will connect, and I'll get the logon screen, but it'll freeze there and FC.)
Now, if I'm at work, on the wifi, it works perfectly.
Also, I've tried remote VNC through VPN, and it works, but I'm not happy with its interface. I've also tried Remoid, and it works through VPN, but I don't like its interface either.
I have no troubles at all when connecting from any of my laptops/netbooks, only from the EVO on VPN. Any ideas?
Anyone, anyone? Bueller?
I use xtralogic Remote Desktop Client, and haven't had a problem.

Thanks, I tried that along with the others, but I don't really like it, and same results.

I am trying to connect to a SBS 2003 network using Remote Web Workplace thru IE on an XDA Exec. Can initially connect Ok until I try to connect to a server or workstation when I get the message -
This portion of the Remote Web Workplace requires the Microsoft Remote Desktop ActiveX Control. Your browsers security settings may be preventing you from downloading ActiveX controls. Adjust these settings and try to connect again.
Anybody any ideas about this?
On the same vein. I can connect to a server using Terminal Services Client but the desktop comes up so small it is unreadable. Is there any way of telling TSC to make it bigger?
try www.logmein.com
works much better

Seconded. Incredible program, and utterly free.
Doesn't help me
I look after a lot of customers that use SBS 2003. Remote Web Workplace is built in to the system. This gives me a connection to the server using a web based connection. At this point I then get an option to connect to any servers or workstations on the network. When I choose where to connect to I then get an RDP connection (terminal services)
This I normally do from either base or from my laptop when I am somewhere I can get a connection from. Now and again I need to do it from my Exec - this was the question.
I need to know how to get the activex downloaded to my phone
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
http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJFullscreenTSC
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.
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!
Hello people....I'm looking for an APP that let me manage my PC Desktop over WiFi, I mean, no internet connection or server through like does Team Viewer...
Something like HOST and CLIENT using only WiFi connection...
any idea?
thanks in advance
Xtralogic did a Remote Desktop Client to control your PC via your phone - worked over wifi (assuming both PC and phone are on the same wifi)
Is that what you mean?
Failing that I did try LogMeIn once which seemed ok cross wifi networks
Realvnc or any other vnc server on your desktop.
Androidvnc or any other vnc client on your phone.
I have installed Xtralogic on my phone already, but which one do you recommend for serving like HOST or Server on Windows PC?

It just uses the native windows RDP stuff - just needs enabling on the pc - i.e. right click my computer, properties, remote connections, allow remote connections.
As mentioned already, I heard VNC is good too.
Try team viewer
wyse seems to have the best interface (ive seen) and is simple to use.
you can get remote desktop with just google user name.
I used to use remote RDP enterprise which was also good.
does anyone know of an app or program i could install on my phone and computer so i can access my laptop when im not home?
teamviewer

There are more than 1 ways. I personally use Remote Desktop (from XtraLogic) and use the RDP connection from my phone to my server. I logon to the server as an admin and have full desktop view access. There are free RDP clients too that you can use and they give you full feature access (including resource redirection and custom resolution).
You will have to forward port 3389 from your router to your laptop's IP, in case you wish to connect from the internet. Works like a charm for me.
Hope this helps.
