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:

kinda wanted to figure out the pebbles thing, but since u reccommended logmein, ive been messin with it and its really nice
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?

Wireless tether issue...some help

So I have the cyanogen 5.0.5.3 installed and the wireless tether app. When I open the app and start it, on the phone it seems to be active but I have trouble connecting to it from laptop. Also when I enable the wep security on the phone, it doesn't show up as a secured wifi connection when in connect to it.
Any idea on how I can fix this?
Thanks

Do you have an Intel WiFi card? If not, which brand WiFi card is in your notebook?
Cheers,
Kermee

Cheers

If your Lenovo has an Intel WiFi card and you're using Microsoft Windows, make sure you are using Intel drivers version 13.1.1.1 and nothing older.
Then do the following on your Nexus One:
1. Install the latest version of android-wifi-tether (as of this posting).
2. Start "Wireless Tether for Root Users".
3. Once the program has started up, hit the "Menu" button.
4. Select "Setup".

}
​
5. While in "Setup", hit the "Menu" button again and select "(Re)-Install binaries/configs".
​
6. You should get a confirmation that the binaries & configs were re-installed similar to this:
​7. At this point, scroll down the "Setup" menu and find "Change LAN" and change it to something different from the default, for good measure. My example shows 10.10.3.0/24 which is an option towards the bottom of the scroll view.
​8. Try first with WEP off to see if it'll connect to your Lenovo or iPad. It should work at this point.
Good luck!

not working
its not working as my xperia neo v just show connected,,wifi secured via wep again connected and agin and agin switching

Why Connectify?
Wouldn't it just be simpler to create an ad-hoc connection instead? I'm not running windows right now so I can't post screenshots but i'm sure you can find a guide on creating an ad-hoc connection if you google it....

connectify is the best

no luck
i downloaded different versions of connectify and i have win xp and a message keeps appearing that i must have win xp service pack 3 or later :crying: even tried run as compatability other version of windows or renaming the installer file .exe as support suggested

1.
just open CMD as Administrator and type there:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=(name) key=(password) keyusage=persistent
after that, you can create txt file and type there:
netsh wlan start hostednetwork ----> save as... name.bat (e.g. StartWiFi.bat)
and
netsh wlan stop hostednetwork ----> save as... name.bat (e.g. StopWiFi.bat)
now go to network sharing centre, adapter settings, and turn on internet sharing for Microsoft Virtual Wi-Fi Miniport.
2.
Download This
open archive and copy stuff to desktop
right click on Set Network.bat and edit
now, change name and password whatever you want (SSID and KEY), then save (ctrl+s), and open file.
now go to network sharing centre, adapter settings, and turn on internet sharing for Microsoft Virtual Wi-Fi Miniport.
now you can easy start and stop network by opening file Start network.bat and Stop network.bat

i tried this but the connection keeps timing out, does anyone know why?

mHotspot is best.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app

Hotspot
i'm usin hotspot everyday and it works very flawless, fast. So no need to any other app :laugh:

Proxy???
What if the Laptop is using a proxy to connect to internet?
Connectify will work in such cases? Please confirm!

WiFi Direct with S3 works...

So, I'm one of the many who have a limited data plan so uploading my backups and stuff to the cloud has never been an option as data adds up quick.
I've see a lot of people not able to get WiFi direct to work so today I decided to give it a try. Its not as cut and dry as a S3 to S3 WiFi direct, but using WiFi direct with a little help with ES file Explorer is completely possible.
Remember, this is using WiFi direct, there is no routers or other devices other than my N7 and S3.
In this example, I'm going to transfer a 158 MB file.
{
"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"
}
So, the first thing I did was open up the WiFi settings on both devices and went to WiFi Direct. I also renamed both devices to better ID them.
Once renamed, you can select from either device to connect. I just selected my S3 from the N7 device. The S3 in prompts for conformation.
The devices will display connected.
Now that you are connected, you are going to go to the device that you want to SEND FROM and open up ES file explorer. Go right to the menu and scroll down to remote settings.
Check "remote manage" and copy down that ftp address in full. If you close ES and have the close on exit check, you will lose the connection so do as you please with that settings. You can also set a password if you plan on doing this on the LAN level too.
Now, go to the receiving device. I had issues with chrome, but Firefox works fine. Plug in that ftp: //xxx.xxx.xx.xx:xxxx/ and hit go
Now you should get your sending devices directory. Have fun, transfer away.
ES explorer has settings to allow allow access to root if you are rooted so if you are enabled, be careful. Im not responsible for you messing with wrong files and crap.
Here is my transfer, notice the time from finish to complete. It took about 30 seconds.
This can be done from either device depending on what direction a file needs to go. You can save your FTP settings and bookmark too for easy access in the future.
You can use FTP on you WiFi at home. Passwords are recommended as your device will be available on the home network.
This is the only easy way I was able to get WiFi direct to work. Enjoy.

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.
