O2 XDA - wireless 'linkup' experiment! Help?

Hi,
I was just wondering if its possible to 'link' the XDA Exec with multiple Laptops so that the laptops all show the XDA's display? Lets assume all Laptops have wi-fi, bluetooth and run Windows XP.
Purposes may be to share a PP presentation, show a software demo etc. (I need to give a tutorial and demo in a room with no projector ).
I was curious if anyone has had any experiance with this? Any advice regarding the best setup (or software) would be great. Cheers.

Nobody any ideas whatsoever?

You could install windows media encoder on one of the laptops, and a remote control app. Then run the remote control app so you can see your phone's screen. Once that's working you can run windows media encoder in screen caputre mode, all the other laptops will be able to connect it it then.

You can play with Microsoft's "ActiveSync Remote Display". The tool allows you to work with your PPC remotely from your laptop/PC using ActiveSync connection. But you will need to install ActiveSync and this tool to every laptop
If it is a matter of presentation, why don't you copy your presentation to local server's shared folder and ask people to open the file from this folder and listen to your instructions, like Going to next slide... At least there won't be any hassle with intervention to participants' laptops and personal space ))
ps: if you do possess a PC you can run something like MS Netmeeting and establish AS connection with your PDA through AS Remote Display at your PC. Share AS Remote Display application and ask people to connect to your PC's NetMeeting or any other remote conference software
Let us know on your results
Cheers

Thats my last resort - I hate doing presentations like this especially when we have the technology to do something 'fancy' :lol:
I will give some feedback to let you know how I managed it (I will succeed)!

Cheers for the ideas!

I just had a look at AS Remote Display and it seemed this would do the trick - However, it does not work with Windows Mobile 5.0.
Does anyone know of a release of AS Remote Display for Windows Mobile 5? I had a look around but there does not seem to be much on offer which is compliant with 5.0.

Right, another problem.
I just installed an app called : Laplink Controller thinking as it offered the functionality I was looking for.
After a supposidly successful install I tried to run it - no joy. It reccommended I uninstall and re-install the software, so I did.
When re-installing I got a message saying:
Cannot load resouce library:
\Windows\MWRes???412L.dll
It now comes up everytime I do a soft reset. Anybody seen this error?

Windows Vista on Athena ! I done it !

You want to know how to run Windows Vista on Athena? Well, read on!
Firstly, is not really installing the Vista on Athena, i uses the terminal client services to remote control my desktop.
This is the application i use, it's the TCS in WM6, at least 10x better then the original WM5 one. Simply install it and run it, you will have to have knowledge of remote desktop to set this up. I will not try to cover here because there are some ways. Do a search on the net and you will find lots of into.
Below i attach the WM6 TCS and a screen shot of my Vista Ready Athena!
Haha, you got yourself a UMPC now.

That looks Amazing...

Damn that looks good! Can you actually control and view evrything that happens on your vista through your Dopod? Including High Def Movies? (I know I'm pushing it now )

yes you can control everything including setting and e-mail, office, outlook. However movie doesn't play for some reason, i am working on it now.

Thanks A Lot!
I've done it. And it works really well!
And indeed much better then the WM5 implementation of TCS.

It's never gonna work for me...I'm using XP Home Edition. Home Edition does not support Remote desktop/TCS, even though the application comes with it.
Confirmed by microsoft. It will work with XP Pro though! Might just upgrade it then, but can't remember if that wipes all of my installed apps? Don't fancy re-installing them...way too many.

nah, it doesn't. upgrade leaves everything as it was- even your desktop, settings, etc.

Hi Wu, I tried to use the remote terminal with Universal. It works, however I cannot type neither using the Universal keyboard nor the softkeyboard of the Universal. How do you keyed in text when you are remote accessing your PC?

Thanks for the great app. It really improves remote desktop usage on the ameo.

Hey Wu. Can you or anyone else who has successfully got the WM6 Remote Desktop to work on the Athena please give me some guidance?
1st. Thanks for the link Slave 1.....the web based 'LogMein' works a treat!
Wu..I done a clean install of XP Pro (supports TCS and Remote Desktop) and I installed all necessary components for XP & Remote Desktop. Activated 'Allow users....to Remote Desktop' etc.. My problem is not knowing what to put in the 'Domain' section in the WM6 Remote Desktop application. Is Domain the same as IP? Forgive my ignorance on this...I'm a noob to this..
If it's IP info required for this part, which one? I think I have a static IP address, but am not sure. When I check my IP over the web it is different to what shows up for my PC??!!
I'm confused now. This I believe is my only glitch now. Help please. 'LogMeIn.com' works fine, but it's implementation leaves a lot to be desired and all of you guys seem to really like the WM6 style.
Pointers please.

you don't really need to type in anything in the domain, you can leave it blank, the most important part is the first one, the computer name, you have to type in the IP address of your computer, or your actual computer name if you are connecting on a local network. check your computer IP, and just put it in there, it should work.

Hi
I have a problem in that i can only get the remote working via wi-fi (same network) but when im away and i type the ip adress while on t-mobile internet, i can't connect at all. i have disabled firewall and anti virus but still can't connect. I can only connect while im on the same network
any ideas?

you need to forward the port, if i remember correctly, it's 3389 to your computer IP. Do a search on xda about port forwarding
thanks for Moskus for correcting me

I think the port is 3389...

great, it works!! thanksd alot guys

If someone got problem on the keyboard and button.
Try to install in the Device but not the MicroDrive.
I got it work after I reinstall it
HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wii remote for controller?

I was thinking of an easier way to play games on my titan/mogul. So i thought hey, the wii remote uses blue tooth right??
Well, the phone found it, and added it. The first passcode was null. But then it asks for a secure connection from the wiimote to the phone and asks for a passcode, but null and 0000 doesn't work. Any ideas? I doubt it would be that easy to get it to work...
But how about if someone could whip up a program so we can get wiimote functionality onto the ppc platform? Wouldn't that be cool? At least better than using the keyboard for games.
Let me know what you guys think.

Did you try no passkey? Apparently from what I have read the WII does not require a passkey, to get it working in Windows you just click skip pairing, not sure if that is an option on WM5 or 6. It should be identified as an HID and I am not sure if you need drivers or not, from what I read it will work in Windows as a mouse or as a controller with drivers that others have made. Hope that helps.

Good idea!!
I'll try to see if I can't get this to work when I get home tonight.

yep i did!
From the phone, i started searching for a new device
on the wii controller, i pressed the sync button
the phone finds the "Nintendo RVL-CNT-01 "
I select it to add as a wireless input device and it asks for a passcode, i leave it blank and hit ok
The phone then says nintendo rvl-cnt-01 is trying to connect, allow? and i click yes and it asks for a passcode
And that's as far as i can get. I am wondering if the drivers on PCs are to connect it, or allow to function as whatever. I am guessing whatever because bt should connect regardless of driver support, no?
Anyhow, let me know what else you guys think we can do.
thanks for your input

Here's a site that has done some research on the topic, including a brute force method to essentially crack the pin
http://mtrr.org/blog/?p=76

here's prolly a good alternative if they cant get the wiimote to work
http://www.smartgamepad.com/

thanks for the links guys, but i guess i won't be able to get it to work. Has any one else tried doing this?

I found this after looking some more, but nothing that helps me out. Give it a look over.

This thread has the announcement of the project. It is real, but it apparently wont surface until June.
*Edit* Whoa, apparently that post was last year. So......Maybe it IS dead lol.
Another post about it:

After looking at the project page, I saw this post:
http://www.codeplex.com/WiiMoB/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=10953
The developer has released it to the public so the source is all there. I would mess around with it if I had more experience. I'm very interested in this though. All I want is to be able to use my wiimote to play ppc games/emulators. I don't need motion controls. Just button mapping and that's it. There's gotta be somebody out there that can figure this out.

anyone have any news on this front?

So any update on this? I tried to get the Wiimote with my laptop, but it still wouldn't work. I'd love to get it on my Tilt.

2 Questions

Does anyone know of a way to use your wing as a tv remote? possible? and also can i use my data plan internet connection to use remote desktop? can you point me in the direction of a tutorial maybe?

i have been wondering the same thing, it would be awesome if there was a program to use your wing as a universial remote, i know that there is a program for psp

well the wing doesn't have an infrared port, so I'm pretty sure it wont work with some type of adapter *cries*

I can confirm. Because the Wing/Herald/Atlas has no IR port, it can't be used as a tv remote.
I suppose if you had a media center you could issue commands over like wifi or something. I know there are like vnc programs for ppc, and you can use it as a mouse.

Wow dude...congrats....I think you post more than anyone on here!

Well, how sophisticated do you want to make things? Check out LinuxMCE.com... The possibilities are endless...

i suppose you could patch it through ip or something, but that gets complicated enough that you might as well just reach for the remote

yeah sure you need a vnc server on your windows machine most linux machines come with one and then you just need the viewer on your PDA the one i have had most luck with is
http://dotnetvnc.sourceforge.net/
works quite well infact i reckon if i mess with my routers port forwarding i could access my pc from anywhere in the world

how about remote desktop? if we mention vnc...

Hi,
Is there an application that can make the Polaris a Bluetooth Remote-Control for the PC computer??? (NOT Remote Desktop which makes the computer displayed on the Polaris - i want the polaris only to function like a bluetooth Mouse and keyboard of the PC)

yes is called clicker but you need to install server software on your windows machine
http://www.salling.com/Clicker/windows/

I don't think there is such a thing for wm. My wife has a SE so I know what you mean - it is quite effective. It is a bluetooth profile not a piece of software. We don't have that profile unfortunately.
