[Q] - Eee Pad Transformer General

So I have a laptop and a phone and a TF....and I just started reading about and thinking about port forwarding on my home network.
I was reading about Wifi transfer (good app) and I've used it on my home network to transfer files to and from the TF...it works great.
Today I read an article about how to do that across the internet using port forwarding.
My question is: what do you use port forwarding for? Give me some ideas as to why i'd go to the trouble to access my home router and do this?

Port forwarding is done to tell the router which internal IP address to map an external request for a certain port to. For example if you have an FTP server at home you would typically access it internally via its internal IP address on port 21 by default. If you wanted to access it outside of your network you would need to set up a port forward rule, which tells the router which device IP address to redirect the external request to. Otherwise the request gets stuck in the middle and you'll get a timeout. This is because you only have one external IP address but multiple internal devices with different internal IP addresses that sit behind it.

Try www.portforwarding.com. There are instructions on ho to do it urself.

TMOUS HD2 Remote Desktop over 3G

Not sure if I should post this question here or somewhere else but since I am using my TMOUS HD2 for remote desktop I decide to put this here.
I tried the remote desktop over my own wifi it works great but just wondering if I can use it over 3G... I tried but doesn't seem to be connecting.
Also does anybody know the list of ports that are blocked on tmous 3g? Thanks a lot!
over 3g don't forget you need to use your external ip address, (I.e not the 192.168.... addresses) and then in the router you need to set up port forwarding from the router to your chosen pc.
been looking for a solution to this for a while. Seems people give out solutions that never work.
I've just done this as a proof to myself, and yes you can do this.
Assuming you have a router, then you need to set up port forwarding from the router to your internal pc, port 3389 TCP.
On the PC, system properties - remote - make sure you choose the middle option.. ' allow connections from computers running any version..'
Then on the phone, you need the data connection active before you start remote desktop, it wont start it itself.
With data connection active, run remote desktop
give it your routers external IP address (not the 192.xxx.xxx.xxx address, , thats your internal address)
no need to fill in user and pass, it will give you the PC's login screen. Domain left blank too.
Note the connection in teh top bar, , edge in one, H in the other. No wifi.
EDIT - if your carrier blocks port 3389 which some apparently do, bypass it by using a different external port.
So in the routersettings you would forward port, say, 3456 external to 3389 internal, and then in remote desktop on the phone, you would put the ip address as (example) 64.38.226.18:3456

Ugh, I just can't get it. I have data connected at all times. I try this, but I use windows XP (which for some reason almost everyone who shows how to use this on the HD2 uses Windows 7). Port forward to my internal IP address. Set up to connect to my external IP address (yeah im on a network). Always gives me those 3 reasons why it can't connect and I never got it to work. I just dont get it.
what i changed from stock rom to get RDP to work
in settings/connection change your data access point from whatever it is currently (write it down) to wap.voicestream.com and try (for me that also worked for skyfire). some ports/protocalls may be blocked from the default access piont.

Works fine for me all the time. I have XP Pro.
I've set the IP on my computer to be static (192.168.1.199).
I changed my Remote desktop listening port to 3399 (changes in registry and windows firewall. Also change in Antivirus firewall if you have one.)
I have a linksys router. I've set the port forwarding in "Games and Applications" as all requests to port 3399 will be sent to 192.168.1.199.
I open Remote Desktop on my HD2 and point to my external IP address with the port number.
example: 24.123.456.789:3399
Its been working fine for me for a month. Speed is good too.

To you or anyone else who can do this, are yall using Professional Windows OS? or Home?
pro.
remote desktop isnt included in home. (Maybe in home premium, possibly)
there are work arounds, a 3rd party vpn for instance, or there are ways to get remote desktop onto certain home versions.

I use this with Win7 Home Premium, which does not have RDC enabled. However, you can simply patch it to enable RDC:
http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/t/79427.aspx?PageIndex=1
I have no problem RDC to that machine from my HD2 from both in and outside of my network. As mentioned, you need to edit your router settings to enable port forwarding to the machine(s) you are trying to access remotely. I use 3389. The above utility that enables RDC on W7HP also enables port 3389 to get through windows firewall on that machine.
no, still can't get it to work right. Even with Remote VNC workarounds it's still not getting the connection. For some reason, any port checker (even when I configure the router to forward the port to my internal IP) says that the connection is refused. So I dunno wtf it is. I'm guessing either it's Comcast that's blocking this port or the router's messing up, or Tmobile is messing up, but damn it's aggravating as hell finding a solution.
it's not work,I need help
I tried some times Remote Desktop over 3G ,but it's not work,before I connected , Then on the phone, you need the data connection active before you start remote desktop, it wont start it itself.,I actived data connection by use opera browser,and the connection in the top bar,the icon "H" appeared in the top bar,does the Remote Desktop support the connection way of 3G ? please tell me what to do ?thanks a lot ! sorry for my poor english.

Try connecting to your home computer from another computer outside. Seems to me that your home computer is not setup to allow RD from outside.

Yes, and phenomenon you should really try to establish the connection first while connected to your home network with your phone, just to make sure everything internal is setup properly before you start messing with getting the external connection to work.

Your router probably has it's own firewall. Can you connect to your computer through your own network?

T9193 Miri Rom v.16 ATT- Web on port 8077?

I'm using a T9193 with Miri Rom v.16 on ATT. I've beeen trying to access an internal web server through dyndns on port 8077 in the form h++p://name.dyndns.org:8077
I know this works with any other web browser in the world, but not the 3 browsers in the HD2! Not Opera, Skyfire or IE. The packets never get to the server. All 3 browsers work fine to go the same server if I use wifi and access it internally, but not via 3G-ATT-dyndns-back to my ISP and into my router. The browsers all access other sites just fine.
In fact, at one time the HD2 did work to access the server this way (but I've changed too much to track back to the working config). I'm trying to figure out where to go from here. Is this likely to be a ROM issue, a registry problem or ATT screwing me? Any suggestions?
Specifically, is there any reason to believe that ATT or the HD2 prevents accessing nonstandard ports like my 8077?
Thanks!
if you have a router you need to configure port forwarding to the destination machine.
also, if the dyndns client is running on a machine with a local ip address (ie one behind a router) then double check that it is correctly reading your external ip address and not the internal 192.xxx address.
if they are blocking that port and you are behind a router, then just use a different port,example 33333, and configure your routers port forwarding for 33333 --> 8077, then att will never see any traffic on 8077

This part is all working. I can access the server just fine with everything except the HTC-HD2.

I suppose I'll try to swap ports, but I don't really have any reason to believe they're blocking this port, since it worked before.

It turned out to be weird hang affecting only that one site/port. Turning off 3G, and data, then restarting fixed it.

[Q] VPN Help Needed

So I've been trying to setup a VPN for my shinny MT4G to connect with my box at home thats running Windows 7 x64, and I've been having nothing but issues. Comcast is my ISP i have a linksys WRT54G-TM router. I have PPTP port 1723 tcp forwarded to my box and VPN passthrough is enabled as well. My windows firewall is setup for the same port. I created the incoming connection and have the right user accounts selected. I've setup my DNS to allow VPN connections. But still i am never able to connect i always get a generic unable to connect or "Server hung up. It is possible that you are behind a firewall that prevents you from connecting to the server."
Funny thing is i can start a Remote Desktop connection just fine and connect right away.
Any ideas I'm drawing a blank and i really need to get this going. Thanks

Ive already tried that and still noting my port forwarding is the same ad depicted minus some options.
Are you sure you're following my directions in Step 2 of my writeup? It's VERY important to assign a range of IP's in the Windows config.
yep i set it up the way you mentioned defined the ip range form 192.168.0.200-192.168.0.207. Thx for the help BTW, I'm at a loss
Well is that within your internal IP range's subnet? I was just using that as an example. What is the internal IP your computer gets from the router?
the router is set to be 192.168.0.1 and my box is assigned 192.168.0.107 through the routers static IP assigning subnet maks is the usual 255.255.255.0
crap that should work then.
Yeah Its a bugger alright. i'm debating on buyin a new router to see if its that because i can snoop some ports i know are open and it'll get timed out and other are fine.

Yeah I'd try a new router. Put that router behind the new one to keep using your t-mobile @home service, that's how I do it.
KK so i tried a new router another linksys and i get the same issue this is beyond pissing me off Again any help is appreciated.

You should try connecting to your VPN over your internal WiFi. It would rule out if the port/protocol forwarding is the issue.

Cant even connect over wi-fi I'm running a fresh install if windows 7 on my box and as far as i cant tell everything is setup correctly.
If you're on your internal WiFi can't still can't connect, it has to be your Win7 setup. I woud double check everything and also make sure you have no other firewalls that are blocking incoming requests on these ports.

Splashtop Help

I setup splash top for my home network but I need help getting splashtop to work on other networks when I am not at home. Any ideas?
Does anyone have any ideas how to get this to work?
If you got to there website they have instructions on how to set it up for outside networks. It involves setting up port forwarding on your router and getting the main ip address for you internet connection.

I have already followed these directions and still get a failed connection. I can connect fine with home network just not a remote network. Also a little info windows 7 with mcafee virus scanner and firewall. I also have a linksys e1000 router. Anybody know why I cant connect?
You may have already done this, but I needed to setup the entire range of ports (6783 thru 6785) to get mine to work. One mapping per port.

You will to add port forwarding rule on your router. Add 6783-6785 for the port. Make sure the splash top software on your pc under network setting is set to 6783. When you add the ip address you need to add your WAN ip address not your machine ip address. Mac address will need to be that machine youre trying to log into. I have splash top setup to three of my computers at home. Able to access them without no issues from outside of my network. If you are still having issues try to disable your mcafee software and firewall. I have all three on Windows 7 all with firewall enable.

I will try this when I get home from work. How do I make windows my primary firewall?
Dunno about McAfee, but the firewall shouldn't be causing any issues as long as you allow splashtop connection. I set up separate port forwarding for each one. TCP Any -> ****. Did that three times and it connected.

Some you saing port forward each port as in 6873 to 6873, 6874 to 6874, and 6875 to 6875? Do you have a linksys router?
Router model / make won't make a difference to what ports need to be forward, just how you actually go about doing it.
Well I guess I will try to open them individually.

I did "Any to 6873" and etc. Just changed the destination port number for each one since "6873 to 6873" didn't work for me.
Are you guys able to connect to your pc from an outside network with the splashtop thats included in the mycloud or did you purchase it from the market?
I have port forwarding set up, added the pc and WAN ip (not local network ip), enabled "internet discovery" in experimental features on splashtop streamer on my pc and its still not working. I have no options to add mac address, just name, ip, password and port.
Splashtop is now $0.99 so i may just go ahead an buy it so i can use it on my other devices as well if the built in one doesn't support this.
Mine works well...after I set the ports to forward.
However someone did warn me about doing this and lack of security...

Yes, I am able to connect from outside of my network. I am using the one that came with the TF. I believe the one that comes with the TF has a custom resolution of 1280x800 just for the TF. Where the one in the Market Place highest resolution is 1024 x 768. I tried both and the TF version looks much better. There is a area when you have to input the mac address for that machine. My port for one of my pc is "6873-6785"

Thanks for that info. Do you remember where you put the mac address because i don't see it when attempting to add a new computer.
UPDATE
Nvm its working, maybe PC was off when I attempted to connect earlier from outside my house. Didn't need to put in Mac address afterall. Just wan IP and password I set and forward the ports.
Thanks guys

Cool glad you got it working. Now, I remember its not the mac address its the Wan address. The most important thing is the listening port 6783,6784, etc,etc,, depend on how many pcs you want to access.

Q: Set up a local network between S2 and a Laptop?

Hello,
I am running a local web server on the laptop and want to phone to connect to that through a web page.
Would this be possible? Is there a way for them to network interface like this?
Thanks
Chris
Hmm I'm still kinda confused as to what your wanting but try this. Connect your phone to the network via WiFi and point your web browser on your phone to the web servers local IP. If this doesn't work add me at "[email protected]" and I'll assist you further

Hi X,
Yeah I have discovered I'll need the router for the DHCP assignment so they can communicate.
What I was throwing around was using tether to make a network between the two but without the DHCP server to assign an ip I can't see how its a viable way to communicate.
Thanks again
Ah I assumed you had a router. But yea that's all you will need and your set
