What remote PC control software is there out there? I know there are versions of VNC and RDP, but what about NAT traversal? Anyone got any ideas?
Remote Touch
I have not used Remote Touch yet.
I think that there is both a free and a commercial version.

Until recently, I would have heartily recommend LogMeIn, which is a service with a highly functinoal free client. For PC-to-PC remote control, it's quick to set up and easy to access and really recommendable.
They offer a Pocket IE plugin that used to work wonderfully. Full, reliable control with nothing more than a login and password to remember. I haven't been able to get it working in a while, though, and I suspect their plugin doesn't work properly with recent versions of IE Mobile. You can still use their webclient via Skyfire, but that's hardly optimal.

I did search for this, but it returned no results...
Is there a VNC client I can use on my XDA to let me control and/or view my PC screen via bluetooth?
Thanks for any helpful replies. ^_^
EDIT:
Really, nothing?
I'll take unhelpful replies at this point.
As far as I know, there's never been a PPC version of any VNC client (as there's several flavours of VNC, the original RealVNC, TightVNC, WinVNC...) - I just don't think that your average PDA would be up to the job of rendering and processing all the data, plus the issues of converting keypresses, a mouse which doesn't exist (how do you convert the button presses?) and the sheer amount of CPU and graphical horsepower VNC needs I think would just overpower a PPC.
However, I might be wrong. I've never come across a VNC client though for a PPC device, I think there might be a PPC / PDA Terminal Services client but of course now you're talking Windows.
Thanks for the reply.
There go my evil plans to use my pc all over the house.
VNC client
http://www.freewareppc.com/docs/vncviewerforpocketpc.shtml
VNC Viewer for Pocket PC v3.3.5.1
I recently re-downloaded the PPC (had it for Palm ages ago) version of Pebbles (google it) and although it doesn't have bluetooth connection and doesn't do a true rendering of the PC's display - it takes a screenshot at set intervals I think - it CAN access the PC via WiFi, which is cool.
Functions are limited but as far as I know it's still an ongoing project.
VNC Client
Here's a good VNC client and it works with WM5... http://www.mochasoft.dk/vncce.htm
well bugger me sideways, i reply with a 'i don't think there's any vnc clients for ppc' and all the people who know of some come out the woodwork!
LoL I was thinking the same thing, christopherwoods.
I know this is un-related but, you mentioned WM5 choycm, and I was reading a topic in the updates section about it not being on Alpine/XDA2i, is that still the case?
Thanks for the links everyone.

Well, I tested it on the Dopod 900 aka Universal... And it works perfectly.
As has been previously discussed on XDADev, whilst the 2 and the 2i may look pretty much identical the 2i's hardware is quite different from that of the 2 - and unfortunately, the 2i (the Alpine)'s hardware doesn't support WM5.
The beta version of "Real" VNC is here http://www.realvnc.com/products/beta/ce/. I've been using 4.1beta2 for a while. Works for me.
Does anyone know of a VNC Client that will let you transfer files from the server to the phone and vice versa?
I've got a little different problem
is there a possibility to see PPC's screen on PC?
cause my alpine has broken LCD :/
i found this thread by searching for "battery remaining 10%". (does anyone know where I can find the 10% interval battery meter fix??) I Dont know how i ended up here .. but I had a question
Why not use microsoft's RDP? Its built into every winxp pro computer, and I find it works great on WM6. I just cant find a viewer that works as well for use on WM5. Anyone here use RDP instead of VNC (and know a good ppc client for wm5?)
not eveyone uses windows...vnc is multi platform. rdp is great for windows however!
I've always used MochaVNC, awesome, easy to use app.
Hey, I'm looking for the best remote control software to use on the kaiser. (to control your desktop pc from ppc)
Any suggestions?
I use https://secure.logmein.com/home.asp
It works a treat and it's free.
Yes, another vote for LogMeIn Free.
Also check out http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Access your desktop PC from your Pocket PC! for more info, it explains everything
And yess, another one goes fo rlogmein...
great solution !!
my only problem with logmein is when I log in with PIE sometimes i have to enter my user name and PW about 40-50 times until it logs me in. it keeps throwing me back to the login screen without any message why. i posted a logmein tech support and no response. I tried this on different browsers (PIE/opera/webfront) and got the same results.
other than that, logmein is great.
real vnc enteprise, and realvnc mobile.
connect to REMOTELY with wifi, I use this for everything (IM, Downloads, Etc)
takes little experience to set up, pretty straight forward

If you REALLY want to go the VNC way, use PT Pocket Office instead. It uses way lessbandwidth and is way better.
Is it possible to connect 2 tilts via remote desktop that are not close together ?
Directly? Not that I'm aware of - however if you can remote to a PC that the Tilt is connected to, you can run the remote view software and see what's going on on the Tilt on the remote PC screen.
Look into a free software called Hamachi - it's a nice virtual networking tool. They make it for Windows Mobile as well as Mac and PC. I can remote desktop into my PC from my phone, never tried vice-versa. I have no idea if they have a remote desktop server for WiMo, but if they do Hamachi will allow you to be on a virtual network.
Hamachi is a VPN product of www.Logmein.com , which is what I think you were referring to. Logmein has a free version to remote into your PC from a WinMo device, but does not control a WinMo device. I thought I saw something like that though on Gizmodo during CES try searching there.
Pocket Controller Professional can connect to your PPC from your desktop via 3G or WIFI. It shows the actual screen on your desktop & is pretty slick. It takes a bit of work getting it going through the 3G/Edge/Gprs Connection though. Also, it doesn't allow for file transfer. Only controlling/viewing.

Hey thanks that works pretty cool.
I had dad's tilt on line last night helping him set it up.
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.

Smoothness is a function of network latency and throughput MUCH more than it has anything to do with the software. android-vnc-viewer is the best remote desktop control software for the simple reason that it doesn't depend on any proprietary CRAP. VNC is wide open for all to use. Avoid RDP at all costs -- any use of it helps to enable MS to continue developing incompatibilities wrt everything good.
when i tried to use vnc viewer i kept getting the connection was refused, whitch vnc program do you have on your phone, im using phone my pc right now and it comes with a desktop software. cant get vnc viewer to work.
anyone know how to set up vnc viewer
get "android-vnc-viewer" from the market. Install the free version of Real VNC. When Real VNC is setup move your mouse over the icon in the task-tray thing (haven't used windows in ages I forget what it's called) and type the IP address in to android-vnc-viewer.
For OS X the app claims to support OS X's built in desktop sharing, and I can confirm that it works with the built in desktop sharing in ubuntu.
Remote Desktop is by far the best option: http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.xtralogic.android.rdpclient
but i have xp home, so i dont have a RDP sharing client.
