Hi there,
i have installed Finster869's WM6_RemoteDesktop.cab, which is available somewhere in the forum here.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to set some advanced options, which are normally shown in the regular remote desktop application for Windows Desktop OS's?
- Display: Remote Desktop Size
- Experience (Desktop background, Menu animation, themes)
Thanks
Chris
I'm curious how to set these too. 640x480 seems to get forced when I connect, making Outlook unusable.
Yeah, me too. There's a file default.rdp where you can amend the value of the resolution but somehow it doesnt take effect.
I end up using VNC Viewer though.
Hi, if there's just another Remote Desktop Client allowing to fit my needs - I'd use it.
What are the best Clients (also commercial)? Where can I get that VNC Viewer?

Got another question though - Is it possible to connect to a WM2003 server console through Finster869's RDP client?
Logmein
Another option is logmein free. They have a plugin for WM that works on the Kaiser I have from ATT. Allows me to set resloution, screen size, etc, and it's free.
im too looking for a way to get remote desktop mobile to set a custom resolution
because in small resolution on wm6 rdm it just hard for me to navigate stuff.
can someone find a hack for this please.. dear hackers out there thanks.
Need a little help here....i've 4 computers in the house and it's all running VNC Server Enterprise Edition 4.2.2. I've downloaded VNC Viewer from the link above and run it on my Kaiser but when try to connect, it says "Unable to connect to the specified server!". I'm not sure what to set as i'm just bad with these network stuff.
Assuming i want to connect to my computer A name "Desktop". I would assume i just input the name Desktop to "Server" in the program and put in the password right? Or am i just so lost
Hope somebody can kindly guide me on this. Appreciate it.
Anybody? Would love to get it working in my TyTN II & i have up to 4 computers to remote into
Are you trying to get into them from the Internet or are you on your WiFi network?
If you are on your WiFi you will need to know the IP address of the machine you are connecting to unless you have DNS setup internally. Not sure if WM6 by default will detect Windows names.
If you are coming from the Internet then you will need to port forward your to each of your machines.
Guys, as usual, Wiki is your best friend. Do search it before asking - I've answered almost all the questions asked in this thread in the Remote Desktop Access Bible at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Access your desktop PC from your Pocket PC!
To make it short, in the Comparison Chart ( http://www.winmobiletech.com/122006PPCPCRemoteControl/PPC2PCRemoteRoundupTable.htm ), it's the "Resolution, zoom, color" group that you must check out; most importantly, the first ("Remote desktop resolution?") and the fifth ("Remote desktop resolution settable?") row. The latter even shows how you can actively change the resolution from the client.

Well....i would want to get connected via Home WiFi first. All the 4 computers are connected to the same router. I've tried putting in the computer IP address (ie: 192.168.1.101::5900) but it still says not able to connect. the ::5900 seem to be added in on it's own.

1, welcome to XDA-Devs
2, you mean is the address, your name / password saved? All of them, as is also explained in the chart of the Bible (did you check it out?????), in the "Login: l/p credentials definable, used (with RDP clients) and remembered? – an advantage particularly with RDP-based clients" and the "Server IP’s remembered?".
Please DO spend some time reading these Bibles / charts before asking questions!
no, sorry for the bad english. I mean, what about the security of the connection. Via PC i use a ipsec connection. When I use a normal connection it is possible to trace my login data and to get access to my server for other people.

RDP is a safe protocol - no cleartext passwords are communicated. BTW, you can also run RDP over a VPN connection to maximize safety.

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 ;-)
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 =)

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!

What is so special about the video, can you post the link? If your on your home network on wifi you can remote to your pc or connect thru the data connection if you have a public box.

See this link for how to enable remote desktop on your PC, how to setup your router/firewall to allow it to connect to the outside world and DDNS services for name resolution. I've briefly read through it and have confirmed it provides all that you'd need to set up Windows XP to allow remote desktop connectivity from any device (RDP capable phone, Linux, PC, Mac, etc.)
If you need specific help for Vista, I'm sure Google will give you what you need, if you change my search parameters "remote desktop firewall" to include 'Vista'. I still think the link given above will still be of use, Vista or not...
Hope this helps!
there a reason you dont want to use the free edition of logmein.com ?
Im d/l'ing log me in right now. Thanks man appreciate it
can you tell me what setting you have on your tilt. So i can use the screen space on my phone to the max without making it look weird.
I've been using ES File Explorer to transfer files via WiFi to and from the Windows shares in my LAN. This method works flawlessly, but I would prefer to connect my Captivate to the USB charger and access the Internal/External Storage cards from any Windows desktop in my house and use the Windows File Explorer to transfer files to/from the Captivate.
I found and app in the Market called On Air (WiFi Disk) that is supposed to act as a WebDAV server, but I have been unable to get it to work. My understanding was (someone correct me if I'm wrong) that the Windows File Explorer already has a WebDAV client built-in. So given that On Air is some sort of WebDAV server I'd be able to access it from a Windows desktop. I can already ping the IP address of the phone while is running On Air. So I was hopping that while the On Air App was running on the phone I could issue the command -> net use x: \\phone ip address\Resourcename from a Windows desktop and connect the phone as a network drive. The thing is that it's not clear what the "resourcename" is when you use On Air as the WebDAV server. I tried onair and other names as the resourcename, but it did not work. I think that using File Explorer from Windows instead of a browser or a dedicated WebDAV client would be the most convenient way to do file transfers. I also tried Firefox, IE and AnyClient (WebDAV client) to access the On Air share, but was also unsuccessful. I could not find any documentation on how to use On Air, but I assume that is working for some folks.
I guess what I'm looking for is an application that allows me to access the Captivate storage, as it acts as a WiFi NAS, from any Windows desktop attached to my LAN. Or someone with instructions on how to get the On Air app to work so that I can transfer files to/from the Captivate using any Windows desktop in my LAN.
I used FileZilla using FTP. Make sure you use active mode, worked for me. Good luck.

Ok, I downloaded FileZilla and when I try to connect to the On Air Server it appears to stablish a session, but it eventually fails. I get the following messages:
Status: Connecting to 192.168.1.112:5548...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Error: Connection timed out
Error: Could not connect to server
Status: Waiting to retry...
Status: Connecting to 192.168.1.112:5548...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Error: Connection timed out
Error: Could not connect to server
I used onair and anonymous as ids and the password number generated by On Air.
What exactly do you mean by making sure that I use Active Mode? I went to the FTP Active settings... what settings should I have there?
Open the Site Manager in FileZilla by either clicking file then site manager or using the shortcut CTRL+s. Here you create a site, or server, to connect to. In the general tab fill out the info from On Air. Use onair as your user and the four digit number that On Air generates as the password.
Now under the tab for transfer setting, you check the active radio button. Once you click connect you should be able to see your Cappy.
Let me know if you still need help.

Thanks for the help, but I was unable to connect using FileZilla's Site Manager with your instructions.. The version of FileZilla that I downloaded (3.3.4.1) did not have a WebDAV connection type. I tried the FTP option, but I kept getting the message: "Connection established, waiting for welcome message..." What connection option are you using?
After a few trials and errors... I finally connected to the On Air server on the Captivate, but with AnyClient 2.0 using its WebDAV connection type. I'm able to transfer files to/from my Captivate using any Windows desktop in my LAN. File transfers from the Captivate to the desktop are actually pretty fast. Now that I know that the WebDAV server is up and running and accepting connections in the Captivate... tomorrow, if I get a chance, I'll try again to get it to work using the Windows File Explorer.
Ok, I got On Air WebADV working using Windows File Explorer... BUT, only using Windows XP's File Explorer. It "appears" that there is a limitation in the Mini Redirector built-in the File Explorer of Windows 7 that only allows WebADV connection in port 80. The default port of On Air WebADV server is 8880 and there is no (user friendly) option to change this port either in On Air or in the File Explorer of Windows 7. I'll keep looking around to see if there is a way to change (hack) the default port of Windows 7 File Explorer. There is probably a registry entry to change this, but I'm afraid that changing it will break Web connections elsewhere within Windows 7..

Did you change On Air to use FTP protocol? If you tap the icon on the top right it changes protocols. Anyway, glad to see you got it to work.

Yeap, I tried several protocols, but none work using Win 7 File Explorer because the Map Network Drive Wizard does not allow ftp or http connections to ports other than the default ports. So you can only enter ftp://ipaddress or http://ipaddress. In Windows XP you can enter http://ipaddress:anyport# in the Add Network Place Wizard and it works. XP then prompts you for the id and pw and the folder for the WebDAV server is added under My Network Places in File Explorer. I prefer WebDAV as it is a newer and more flexible protocol than FTP.
