VNC server problems

Hi all,
Having a lot of problems trying to use a VNC server on my Vario 3.
I've installed PocketVNCServ 0.8.1-EN from pocketvnc.sf.net and its running listening.
Whenever I try to connect from my desktop to it (I've checked and the IP for my Kaiser is correct), and every time I get:
Code:
vncviewer PreferredEncoding=raw ZlibLevel=0 AutoSelect=1 169.254.2.1
VNC Viewer Free Edition 4.1.1 for X - built Sep 10 2007 17:17:04
Copyright (C) 2002-2005 RealVNC Ltd.
See http://www.realvnc.com for information on VNC.
Wed Dec 5 10:36:43 2007
CConn: connected to host 169.254.2.1 port 5900
CConnection: Server supports RFB protocol version 3.5
CConnection: Using RFB protocol version 3.3
TXImage: Using default colormap and visual, TrueColor, depth 24.
CConn: Using pixel format depth 6 (8bpp) rgb222
CConn: Using raw encoding
main: write: Connection reset by peer (104)
I've tried quite a few different connection parameters, auto detection, etc and none seem to work. I'm guessing its not matching the capabilities of the screen/resolution or something and giving up, can anyone give me a clue where I'm going wrong please?? I desperately need to get this working, and since I'm running under Linux cannot use the activesync solutions out there.
Cheers!
Andy

Do u have real vnc enterprise on the computer? They are really compatable with eachother. But idk about linux, works fine on Vista.

THis doesn't answer your VNC issue, but have you tried mymobiler.com ? Cool app (but for Windows, so you could try running it via Wine or in a VM session on Linux).
MyMobiler installs on Windows then on your next sync will install and connect to your phone. You can then pull your phone screen right up on your PC and control it as a window in Windows. Very handy.

I'll see if I can source vnc enterprise, but wasn't aware of any protocol differences between the software packages, something you're aware of?
And, unfortunately wine/crossover won't work with Activesync at all, due to many issues, so that isn't a possibility at present.
ekw, any chance you could enable debugging on your windows vnc client and see what encodings, screen resolution, etc it uses and I'll try to shove those settings into my vnc client by hand and see if it solves the problem??

No need for that - it works just fine with the free (!!!) TightVNC client, as has also been explained in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...y) Pocket PC from another (desktop) computer?
BTW, as far as MyMobiler (and other alternatives) are concerned, I really recommend thoroughly reading the articles at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde... from both the desktop and the mobile device) - I've VERY thoroughly compared all these solutions to each other. ALL your questions will be answered in there.

Hi,
thanks for that, I'd already studied the wiki documents several times, and none referred to Linux compatibility, so was basing it around the TCP/IP methods.
It looks like the linux vnc clients operate very slightly differently to the Ultra/TightVNC clients for windows, as I tried this on a friends laptop and got a connection and remote control immediately.
So i used Crossover/Wine and installed UltraVNC to my kubuntu desktop, and sure enough that connected up and works fine.
I'll do some debugging to find what differences there are, as I should be able to easily use native linux VNC clients (its a transfer protocol underlying, so shouldn't be a compatibility problem).
So, I'll post back with further details as I'm sure others will want to do what I've been doing under Linux, as we're not all windows clones on our desktops ;-)

OEM Vista Home Premium to Ultimate

Hi, I got Vista Home Premium on my PC, its an OEM copy so as far as I know I can't use it with another PC. But, if I buy OEM Vista Ultimate will I be able to install it on the same PC?
I don't want to updgrade, I will be doing a fresh install on a formatted Hard Disk. But I just wondered if OEM versions (eg: Vista HP) send my motherboard serial number to Microsfot and prevent another copy of OEM (eg: Vista Ultimate) being installed on it. I don't want to run them at the same time either, just "swap versions" basically.
Thanks!

it would not be logical for ms to block it that way as it would result in them selling less copies
p.s. why get ultimate?
i ask because alot of people seem to go for the name more then the difference between them
unless one require the 64bit vista or want the
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/editions/choose.mspx
ms versions of what many other 3th party programs offer in a grater quality
then there really is no reason to get ultimate
it's not faster or better just extre included tools
Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption
* unless one have REALLY secret stuff then it's more trouble then it's worth slows the system down a bit
and if one have to reinstall one cant count on getting the encrypted data back
Remote Desktop Connection
* only really usefull for servers imho where one dont wish to have to go to the server room to mess about and then do it remotely from another pc
Windows Fax and Scan
*scanners always comes with software & Fax? is stoneage tech along with teletext on tv's--
Windows Complete PC Backup and Restore
*much better 3th party backup programs then anything with ms's name on it

I use a *cough* OEM version using acer certs (acer laptop) and I find I prefer ultimate because I have used it more than Home Premium which shipped with it.

I agree, I'm just worried that no one else has tried this and I'll come across a problem.

I got Vista HP as soon as it was released. Then six months later I got Windows Home Server as soon as it was released. Turns out that Remote Desktop'ing from the web to your home PC (via Windows Home Server) is only possible with Vista Ultimate. A big annouance for Home Premium buyers.
There are some tweaks for Vista HP, but I am thinking I wil go down this route.

Vista Ultimate
Hi,
I have a copy of Vista OEM running on my home machine. It's not a problem although if you do change the hardware significantly (upgrade the BIOS, add CD drives) etc and then need to re-install it you may need to call Microsoft in order to activate it again. However, I've had to do this a couple of time with no problems from MS.

Actually you wont need to reactivate unless you change your mobo or its bios. but what i've done... i`ve patched the SLIC table in ACPI table in my bios, added Asus OEM certificate and now have ultimate (modified with vlite) which even passes WGA tests)) but if you buy a legal copy of ultimate, you can install it no matter what SLA information is in your bios

Not sure exactly how you are trying to do this, but I have no problems, using my Vista Home Premium Laptop to connect to my WHS box and use RDP... Are you sure that your WHS has the ports opened properly...?

" Remote Desktop'ing from the web to your home PC (via Windows Home Server) is only possible with Vista Ultimate. A big annouance for Home Premium buyers."
as far as i know it's also possible with business version of vista
but of cause that lacks mediacenter and such

So for those of you you want Remote Desktop "server" capabilities on your computer and want Vista Ultimate for that reason alone, check out:

Thanks for all the replies.
@ debonairone - I'm talking about being at a 'kiosk' pc and visiting http://myserver.homeserver.com, and being able to remote desktop into my Vista PC. I can RDP to the WHS from within Vista.
@ sketchy9 - Thanks, that is the work around I mentioned before. Seems like a lot of tweaking for me.

:up: Yes, and that Remote Desktop and multiple sessions hack works wonderfuly on Premium........
........until one installs SP1. I won't be surprised if it'll only be a few weeks until a new RD dll hack is developed to resolve the SP1 changes.

Does such a program exist?

I have serched high and low. I was wondering if there was anyway to get Microsoft Access onto my Fuze. I have a biz that runs on Access, it would be helpful if i could have it with me at all times instead of having to carry a laptop everywhere i go.

I don't think such a program exists. I'm assuming that your Access stuff is a full application with forms, etc? You can probably use something like this --> http://www.handster.com/programs.php?id=2906&for=Pocket PC mdb to update the tables, but I can't see it running reports, etc.
If you have a decent data plan, then one option is to run Remote Desktop to a PC back at base running the Access Application. I've got a Virtual Machine on my server which I can access from my Touch Pro. I can run any app I want on there, and as long as I don't try to do anything stupid (like play a video), then it works fine. This is the only way I could see your Access application working on your TP.
Cheers,
Steve.

I believe the client is built into the Fuze. If you have a custom ROM, just do a search. Several threads have the cab to install it on the Fuze. It has also been built into Windows since at least XP. You have to be a local admin or in the remote users group to Remote Desktop or RDP to your desktop.

help installing Remote Desktop Manager (RDM)

ok i didnt seach threads extensively but i figured this was an easy question to answer.
i downloaded RDM and installed the cab onto my phone. on the program i have the options for:computer, user, password, and domain. Is there a part two of the app to run on my computer?
im trying to connect to a computer running windows 2000.

You will need do enable Remote Desktop on your PC. Here is a link how to do it:
Click
Regards

Is your computer running Windows 2000 Professional or Server?
Professional does not support remote desktop/terminal services connections.
Server needs to be enabled in Add/Remove Programs, Windows Components. It will be called Terminal Services and somewhere along the way you will be asked what mode to install it in. Be sure to choose remote administration mode, not application mode.

ok the link you gave was for windows xp? does that make a difference?
i think i have windows 2000 pro. its deff not a server. i managed to get
a program called remote desktop 2.0 to access my computer by opening ports, however this program views the desktop in full color and is very laggy and slugish.
RDM aside is there any really good remote desktop program to use? i if you could help me set it up i would really appreciate it.
ive used logmein in the past, however this is like a six step process and i would prefer something simpler like a program.

Remote desktop over WiFi...

I've been trying to find some software that will let me remote onto my phone (in the same way that Mymobiler does - over USB). But i can't seem to find anything!
All my search results come up with how to remote desktop FROM your phone, but I want to to it the other way round!
Does any software even exist?
Would installing ActiveSync 3.8 work with mymobiler (seeing as it should let me sync over WiFi?)
Thanks!

Works both ways, i.e access PC from the mobile (well done and convenient) or the opposite, over any network you want.

Pocket Controller

Cool, thanks guys
Pocket Controller does the job nicely - with lots of extra functionality to boot

This is what I use. And it's free to boot.
