Can someone tell me how is get this app to work?
Can't connect to my PC at all.
Cheers!
Hmm. I'll get back to you on this. I knew how to do this before lol. I just use LogMeIn now (Logmein.com)
i use"real VNC" it's very easy to handle and works good....
Imma try to get "real VNC" to work, thanks!
Still hope to hea from you soon Kraize92
EDIT: Uh, is there a specific VNC for WM6? Cause now I only got it on XP .. how do i get a VNC viewer on my Diamond?
Cheers!

DotNet VNC is an excellent viewer for WM5/6. One single (tiny) exe, no install, fully functional:
http://dotnetvnc.sourceforge.net/
I'm using the beta 1.0.1.17 with no problems. Just note that when you click connect, the window will disappear momentarily as it connects to your host/vnc server.
RDP--you must disable proxy..
Microsoft RDP requires the proxy be disabled, at least for the AT&T network version.. There is access in the settings menu to enable/disable the proxy.
I can remote control my servers over the Internet through my firewall just fine, using Server 2003 RRAS as my RDP server. Should be the same for MS Small Business Server 2003.
(Note:the AT&T proxy filters out the GRE packet type needed for MS version of RDP).
You might need to re-enable the proxy for normal Web surfing..

Windows mobile 6.1 network filesharing not working with Windows 7

With my HTC Windows mobile 6.1 I can't access the Windows 7 fileshares. It is no problem to access with the same WM device the fileshares of a Vista or Windows XP server. With the Resco File Explorer or the Shafts network plugin I can "see" the computername of my Windows 7 PC. Also my username and password are asked. But when I fill in the username and password it says: can't connect to the shared path (Dutch translation).
Did someone manage to make a connection? If yes, how did you do that? It is eather a Windows mobile or Windows 7 related problem that is why I try this forum.

Having the same problem - big mystery.
Try entering your domain (computer name) in your username field:
ie: if computer is called "laptop" and user is "Doug" then username syntax is laptop\doug
This works for me with WinMo 6.1 and 6.5 and Windows 7.
Make sure your firewall is off on the PC, and filesharing is turned on in advanced network settings.
I have two laptops - both with Windows 7 and a WM6.5 device. Using Resco Explorer it discovers computers near me, but won't connect (Cannot connect shared path. The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.). Before upgrading to win 7 from XP and Vista I had no problem connecting to both laptops. The suggestion from the previous post didn't help.
Any ideas?
I guess no ideas then...
I have windows 7, I use Internet Explorer. I have "//server/share/" as my home page in IE in winmo 6.5. so when I'm at home and hit the IE icon it takes me to my share. Learned that somewhere in this very forum.

Didn't work for me. It goes to the Internet instead...
I can't believe that bloody microsoft! Upgrading to a newer OS should make things easier and not even more miserable!!!

This is how i set mine up, works like a charm. Are your network settings correct? You can probably skip the stuff about the static IP. I was having similar troubles. Good luck.

Thanks, but they are talking about the very basic thing like connecting to the Internet through your home network. I don't have any problems with that. The issue is most probably related to Windows 7, because right after upgrading the OS my HD lost access to the files on both laptops. I am still able to map the drive and see both machines in Resco explorer. It just won't go through the authentication process.
mine worked fine. i am using windows 7 ultimate and resco explorer 2010 on my device to view my files on the PC.
this is what i did: from menu button -> file -> network -> map drive
then instead of browsing my computer from the list in "Computers near me", i manually typed the address: \\computername\d$
then press SHARE
then it prompted another window
i selected: connect using a different user name
i typed my username and password (my login name in windows)
then that's it, i can now browse my files on the PC using my mobile device

works fine!
Yeah, it works fine except one thing: I can only open folders, when I want to open file, i.e picture it says: Can't load file. But when I copy file to my storage card, it opens without fail.
Someone help?

Temporary Alternative to Archos defective proxy setting.

For all the archos users who need proxy settings.
Archos implemented proxy settings in their latest firmware. But to our disappointment its not working...
The proxy setting can not be enabled...
Here is a temporary alternative.
Install the latest Fennec (firefox) browser for Android. You can find it at the mozilla website.
Then google the addon mobile proxy for firefox android.
You'll need the proxy mobile addon (. xpi) and open it using the Fennec browser.
Fennec will ask you to allow installation of the addon. Allow it then you will have an addon in your fennec browser
that allows you to put a proxy setting.
Reminder use the fennec browser to click on the xpi file so that it will ask you if you want to install.
Thats it! you can now set a proxy server in you fennec browser (only) so that you can surf the other web through fennec.
I' ve been using it and everything is working fine with me.
Hope this helps those who need proxy settings. to surf the web.
Just sharing to the community!
Please click Thanks if these helps!

Type opera:config in the address bar. The only question I have is what version of opera mobile will run on an Archos 70? Every time I try it just goes to a black screen and freezes.
I can't get Opera mobile working on the A70IT. Opera Mini works fine, but I would love to try Opera Mobile.

Working Vnc client for Win 7 64 bit in Honycomb?

I have tried almost every vnc client, from pro to regular to work in my Transformer without any luck!
I had VNC viewer working fine in my Desire HD alsaw using win 7 64..but with the transformer and honycomb nothing works!!!!!
Strange. On my tablet every one I tried worked! You could also try RDP clients, they should be faster. Maybe it's something with your firewall? I had a problem with that - connecting to DRP rebooted my PC.
I'm using PocketCloud. Works perfectly from any internet connection on my TF.
edit: I am using RDP too.
Are we talking about W7 64 edition?
i cant get any damn app to work with it..
its not firewall.. same apps works on my DHD
I used remote desktop 2.8
android vnc
pocket cloud
remote vnc pro
regular vnc
Yea I'm using 64-bit and 32-bit.
edit: Are you using 3G on your Desire? Your TF is going through WiFi i take it. Could be the firewall in your router. Mine supports UPnP, so I didn't have to open any ports for RDP.

1) What VNC server software are you using on the Windows 7 64bit host?
2) Are you on the same physical network and same subnet in that network?
3) On the Windows 7 host, are you using the "Work", "Home group" or "Public" networks?
4) Are you using Windows firewall or a third party firewall, like Norton or McAffe?
Sorry, no answers, but these might poke you into the answer.
Cheers and good luck,
Jeff
tightvnc on the machine, androidvnc on the tab, connectbot for ssh tunnel, no issues.

PocketCloud doesn't require you be on the same local network, so I know that can't be stopping it.
Did you check out PocketCloud's Troubleshooting section, they have some good FAQs about it.

vpn win 8

is wp8 will support VPN ... ???
Yes. I use VPN on my Win8 PC and the test tablet at my work. PPTP/SSTP/ICMP all work.
Haven't tried OpenVPN but should work no issues.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I use Shrew VPN....is free and support .pcf files
SInce I use HideIPVPN as my provider I have checked their Windows software yesaterday under W8 Release Preview.
Worked (desktop mode only) exactly as in Win 7.
Log in, choose server from you package - connect.
Netflix and Hulu worked without any problems under Chrome both in Modern UI and Desktop mode (tested only PPTP VPNprotocol but I do not see a reason for L2TP or SSTP not to work).
So, nor problems with VPN and Win 8.
This means I only need VPN on WP8 system as well + Market Enabler (as in Android) and it Christmas for me
+Hey guys
What about Hotspot Shield App !?!?

I dont see any reason why it should not work.
I can test it over the weekend when I reconnect HDD with W8 onboard
HSS works.. but not for the metro apps.
Because HSS only works for browsers as far as I know.
This is why I use VPN - all traffic, regardless of program creating it is directed to VPN server.
This means that I can use Spotify in Poland or watch Netflix on my iPad .
I have checked with W8 and both Chrome and IE in Modern UI mode use VPN as well (they got no choice).
I have read yesterday that WP8 will not support VPN but Secure SSL to access company servers - does any one know it this protocol can be used to change IP of a device? I suppose VPN servers would have to have additional software active to support this kind of connection...
