Does anyone know how to use Remote Desktop?

I downloaded the cab, but i dont know where to go from there. I am just a normal person with a laptop and a tilt.

Do you have a domain set up for your laptop? Probably not so there is no way for you to use the Remote desktop app there are other apps out there but most cost money

You dont need a domain setup to use it. You can just leave that blank. You need to know your IP address, and you need to have a password setup on your machine for remote desktop to work, you can not connect if you do not have a password.
If you are behind a router, you need to forward the correct ports for it to be able to connect to your pc as well.
After its setup, you just need to connect via ip address, through a connection that is not behind a nat, if you are using att, you need to have access to the isp.cingular apn, wap.cingular does not work.

This is a pretty loaded question. Along with the information from fastblack, you'll also need to ensure your version of Windows supports Remote Desktop and that remote connections are allowed. Also depending on the environment there may be other security settings on the machine you are trying to connect to that will need to be considered.
In short, if you don't know how to do this already, it might not be the right solution for you. It can get pretty complicated in some cases.

I have vista premium. Say was to use a router for my laptop and my tilt for wifi. How do i create a password for my computer?

i can understand somewhat if someone comes here asking how to do something on a phone that is in the manual.......but now u're asking something about setting a password on your computer.......i dont use vista, so i can exactly tell you where to look but, i hear that vista comes with this brand new thing.......its called the help files, you should check it out

why not just use logmein (www.logmein.com) easier, faster, better

from logmein use hamachi mobile on the laptop and hamachi regular on the desktop to bypass firewalls....
Oh never mind, you would still need to know how to setup basic network security etc.
If this is the route you want to go pm me and I can send you some links to get started. It's not really that complicated but depending on the details there are alot of variables. Would post the links but would have to start googliny myself
But if you google you find allthe answers and any guide telling you how to RD from a normal computer to another - just treat the handhelp RD software the same.

This is how you do it in XP, Vista setup has to be very similar I bet:
Set the password for the windows user account you log on to on your PC. This can be done in Control Panel - in the User Accounts application.
Next you have to activate the remote desktop function. This can be found by right-clicking My Computer, go to properties, and then to the "Remote" tab. Check the "Allow Users to connect remotely to this computer" box.
Now check your local ip. this can be done by selecting the "Run" button in start, then type cmd and hit enter. In the that window type: "ipconfig" (without the quotes) and a line will read IP address . . . . . 192.xxx.xxx.xxx or something of the sort.
Thats the IP address you connect to, and when the prompt for username and password comes out, type in your Windows User Account respective username and password.
Good luck =)

delete. nm this

this is correct assuming you are:
A. attached to wireless
B. on the same network as the PC you are trying to control
if you want to control your home PC externally, there would be 1 additional step, and two optional but recommended steps.
To access remotely (from anywhere in the world), you would have to go into your router configuration and map port 3389 to the ip address of your vista machine. now for the two optional steps that would make your life easier...
1. set a static ip on your vista machine that is out of dhcp range.
2. use a service like dyndns.org and either set this up in your router if compatible, or install the free update client on your PC.
with this setup you should be able to access all your pc resources from anywhere in the world, not only on your PPC device, but any windows PC with a Remote Desktop client.
security note - set a strong password on your vista machine. port 3389 is well documented and scanned for by hackers. if the option is there, while your in your router turn off ping reply.
if all this is foreign to you, find me @ www.insiteitsolutions.com and i will take care of you.

Cab??
I can't find the remote desktop cab anymore. I tried searching the forums. I've looked at Dutty's site and all the cabs. Can someone point me to it please. I think maybe I am just not seeing it for some reason. I'm sure it's there, I've downloaded it before. Thanks!

Can you use Tilt (8925) as wireless modem via Bluetooth?

I cannot seem to figure out how to use my new 8925 as a wireless modem via Bluetooth as I had my 8525.
Via USB it seems to work but I have not had any luck with Bluetooth and of course the AT&T Tech support has no idea.

1, welcome to xda-devs
2, read the Internet Sharing + PAN BT client tutorials. There're several of them - Google for them.

I have solved my own problem. Duno if anyone else has the same issue.
Seems the tilt just comes missing the shortcut to the internet sharing.
If you want Internet Sharing via Bluetooth do the following steps
1- Open File Explorer
2- go to the "\Device\Windows" Folder
3- Touch and Hold on "Internet Sharing" and select COPY
4- Go to "\Device\Windows\StartMenu\Programs" and Touch and Hold and select PASTE
5- Restart Device
6- Enjoy!

you didnt have to copy the whole program, could have just made a shortcut to it.
you should also take a look at wmwifirouter

my XP desktop can't net share via bluetooth either but if i use USB my tilt shares just fine.
couldn't find anything helpful in the guides, just lots of references to the toshiba stack

Just like a any BT accessory, you must make your phone visible & pair it.

If you have a WiFi card on your laptop, try using WMWiFiRouter instead. It has been discussed many times in this forum.

The file "Internet Sharing" was a link, the exe was something along the lines of intshar.exe or something. If you COPY instead of COPY SHORTCUT than your link wont have a pretty icon (its only 26byte file)
btw. wmwifirouter looked kool

Unable to use I C S

Hello guys n gals,
I have been searching for an answer to this (google, many times)
I cannot get my ATT Tilit w/6.1 to act as an internet connection for my Laptop.
I disable Activesync, go into the Wmodem program, tell it to start, and my computer sees it as a Palm Treo Modem I have to dial out on. According to the program description, I should be able to use the Phone to just "share" its connection. Is this an issue with 6.1? Is there someting I have to enable that wonderful ATT does not allow me to use?
I thank you all in advance for your help. Like I said i have googled a few times and nothing comes up that helps me. They all point to a program called Internet Sharing, which i dont seem to have on my tilt. I suspect this is done intentionally by ATT but hey, I gotta ask first. Help????????
Google is indeed my friend!!! LMAO!! its 4 am here in NYC and I finally found it. Now forget everything I said above!! I just have to figure out how to pin it to my programs menu or start menu! for that i am asking for your help. I am too tired to do anyore googling tonight, err, today, or whatever it is now.

It's there. The file you are looking for is entitled "intshrui.exe". It is located in the \Windows\ directory of your device. You may need to enable "view all files" for it to be visible. Once it is visible, tap and hold on it. Select copy, and then browse to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and tap and hold a blank space. Select "Paste Shortcut". After the shortcut is created, tap and hold on it, and rename it to "Internet Connection Sharing", or whatever you so desire. This is the application you will be using to enable ICS between your desktop computer, and telephone. Be sure to use wap.medianet as the access point. isp.cingular will not work if you are only on a Media Net plan. (if you have a dedicated tethering plan, it is fine to use isp.cingular if you so desire).
I don't have the ATT stock ROM on my phone any longer, but in the WModem application, there is a options menu. There is a item labeled "Configure" IIRC. Select this option, and uncheck, "Choose an access point automatically". Change isp.cingular to read wap.cingular, and save it. Restart your device. You should now be able to use your PDA as an internet gateway. Be sure you have installed either ActiveSync or WMDC on your computer. And the awnser to your inquiry regarding ATT doint it on purpose is "Yes". The phone is fully capable of tethering, but ATT wants to charge you $60/mo for the ability to use technology that already exists in your phone.
Other files of interest:
HSDPASwitch.exe
FieldTest.exe
CSDType.exe

Yep, At&t doesn't add the shorcut to ICS on their roms, its in the windows folder.
Also a not of caution, its suggested that you remove the proxy from medianet while you tether. There's stories of people getting caught tethering without the tethering plan and ending up being charged per kb on their bill (leading to a phone bill around and above $1000!).
I always make sure i've disabled the proxy, actually only time its on is to use cellular video, and I've been tethering without the tethering plan for as along as i can remember and never been charged per kb on my bill.
To disable the proxy look for a cab named removehiddenproxy and then go to start settings, connections tab on the bottom, then connections icon. advanced tab on bottom, select networks, tap edit under the first drop down box (MEdia Net should be selected) then proxy settings tab on bottom, and uncheck the second box "This network uses a proxy server to cnnect to the Internet"

Thanks guys for the info, now is it best to search for this cab via active sync on my PC because i don't know where to find the search program on the Kaiser to just search for the cabs and find the "removehiddenproxy" cab......I will find it this way........thanks again for the help....both of you. This beats staying in Hotels and paying for their internet connection!!

Problem with USBtoPC ActiveSync

Hi,
I am pretty sure someone already faced this problem, but I could not find the related thread.
Normally if I connect my phone to my PC using USB, I have been asked which kind of connection I would like to have.
I always chose active sync and did not care about the other ones.
Last time I was tried internet connection sharing, that was a bad choice :-(
Since this time the pop up is gone and I have no possibility to switch back to active sync. It always opens the internet connection sharing. I already tried to change the setting in the usb2pc menu, but that does not help.
I am using the ROM "Gen.Y Manila by yozgatg" with TouchFLO 3D 2.1.38658.0 VGA.
Thanks!
AdmiralX

Please. anyone HELP!!
;-)

finally I got to popup back and can select active sync or external disc.
but only the external disc is working, if i select active sync the windows pc is still trying to start the internet connection sharing.
if no one can help, does anyone know a forum where I could get help?

Go into Settings -> Connections -> USB to PC, there you can enable the selection screen again

finally I found a solution, I had to change three different registry keys and deactivate fast data sync (was working with this option enabled before).

hi..is there a way we can choose activesync while fone is locked on password and stop it from going into diskdrive mode?

if you do Twabi2's suggestion the other way around and select acive sync once,
it should be possible.

[Q] HTC TD2 & WPA Enterprise EAP PEAP MSchapV2

is it possible to connect to WPA Enterprise networks via WiFi? because I'm searching for a ROM which would allow to connect to the network on my university, which runs the following configuration:
SSID: eduroam
type: WPA-Enterprise
key exchange scheme: TKIP
authorization: EAP-PEAP-MSchapv2
IP: via DHCP
I tried it with the Energy ROM from the forum, but it doesn't allow me to enroll the certificate or it doesn't want to accept it. the other way round it doesn't allow me to enter a user name, I can only put in my password.
could somebody give me a hint what to do? I was searching the forum, found some registry hacks, but none worked

Try to change:
HKLM\\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms\WPAMixedMode
from 1 to 0.

ok, I tried it, but still the same happens:
I enter everything in the configuration menu of the comm manager, click 'next' and then I have to choose a certificate to log on - a little bit lower is a button called 'Enroll', which does nothing when hit. When I try to click 'done' it says that I have to enroll a certificate, so there's only cancel left ...
still doesen't work

well ... can somebody help please?
//edit:
well, as it seems nobody really knows how to work that out ...

Because I'm at my university every two weeks for the weekend, I'll be able to test this way of trying to connect to the WPA enterprise network in a week. but perhaps somebody else can confirm or obey this workaround:
Connect your device to your desktop/laptop and when WindowsMobileDeviceCenter (Win 7: just type the name in the search field in the start bar) opens go to Mobile Device settings >> More >> Get Device Certificates >> I know What Certificate I need to Enrol >> User ... then click enroll. Watch your device as you will be prompted to install the cert. Follow the prompts and after a few seconds you're done. When you setup your wifi connection choose PEAP and enter all the needed information.

It's help I got from microsoft social answers, perhaps somebody can try that out ...?

in case you understand german
http://www.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/fileadmin/internet_kommunikation/smartphone/htc-hd2_uhh-wpa.pdf
it's from my university. it also contains the instructions for eduroam.
in addition to that manual, I had to uncheck "check server certificate" in the certificate tab of the secureW2 plug-in

yes, indeed, I understand german
thanks a lot for this tip, it looks a little bit different on a customized ROM and stuff, but in general it worked - I'll try it on friday or saturday, then I'll be at my university and able to give feedback!
when it'll work, I'll post a translated how-to in this thread...

sorry, I wasn't able to establish the connection with the tip by jones23 ... perhaps it works with WPA2, but not here ...

Hello,
what is the status of this? Did you find a solution?
I have the same issue since I flashed the EnergyROM.
Any ideas?

unfortunately it's truely not possible, I wasn't able to connect to the configuration from the first post using the HTC Diamond II ... damn thing!
but I'm gonna try this weekend something different: imho it's just a software problem, it's got nothing to do with hardware ... so I'm gonna try a dual boot with android and connect with that, perhaps this will work. I'll give feddback

ok, during clicking around on the device I found the solution:
Comm Manager -> Settings -> WLAN -> Network Cards
Here you can ignore the certificate and enter login data for the WIFI network.
Hopefully someone else can use this information.

@ taschenuhr
thats great to hear
@ others
perhaps you can use a notebook for testing purposes, since the connection & login data is the same. there's a windows (mac) version of that same client software.
