AndroidVNC...Setup Help - G1 Apps and Games

Hey guys. I just downloaded AndroidVNC from the market. I'm really excited to use it, but i cant seem to figure out how to set it up. It wants a nickname, address and port? And I'm lost. I'm running vista 32bit. any help is appreciated. thanks guys

you need a vnc server on the computer. I use tightVNC. A few choices are available (realVNC, UltraVNC, etc) but you need to download, install and set that up first then run the app on your phone

Uh, no. You need a VNC *SERVER* on your computer.
Nickname: what you want to call it for easy identification.
Address: the address of your VNC server, i.e., the public ip address of your home computer if that is what you are configuring as a VNC server.
Port: the port that your VNC server is configured to listen on for incoming client requests, typically 5900 for X:0, 5901 for X:1, etc. Note that X is the unix X server graphical system, for which VNC is designed -- it is not by design for windoze, though it has been extended for such.

isnt RealVNC a VNC Server?

Yes http://realvnc.com/products/free/4.1/index.html

Unable to access windows shares over WiFi

Hi,
Im trying to access windows shares on my windows 2003 server, but no matter what I do Im unable to get through.
Im using Resco File Explorer, and I can see the server and even access the FTP server on it, but for some reason the windows shares dont work. I get different error messages, but basically they say "Cannot connect shared path : Unknown error.".
Im able to connect to the shares from PCs across the network, so the server config should be ok.
Please advise.
Your Win2k3 Server is certainly a domain controler. Domain controler require SMB Signing to get someon authentificated. As Windows mobile doesn't support SMB signing, the only way is to have it disabled on the server through GPO
Thanks m8.. With your hint and google I was able to find the following, which did the trick:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters
Value Name: EnableSecuritySignature
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0 (disable), 1 (enable)

How can i connect Windows Live for Windows Mobile throug a proxy server?

Hi all,
The proxy server is used in wireless system at my work. I enabled proxy server configuration in communication manager and i can connect web sites with internet explorer.
My question is, while i am unable to connect windows live messenger, there're also no proxy configuration on it. Are tehere any way to use messenger through proxy server ?
Or, i guess Windows Live for Windows Mobile is brand application came with WM6.0. Do you know may i use old messenger versions via proxy? Or do you know any other msn client with proxy support ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
you can setup the proxy in live messenger
I couldnt find any place to enter a proxy address in messenger. Could you please tell me where can i enter the proxy?
hey, I connect through a proxy for all my internet (using tmobile usa), and I was never able to figure out how to use windows live via proxy. however to download my hotmail emails I finally found a work around. you have to upgrade ur hotmail account to hotmail plus (20 dollars/year). now u have access to pop settings and set up a new email account using those settings (not through windows live) good luck
omar
I do not care mails, i even dont use hotmail for mailing.
i need to instant messaging to keep talking with my girlfriend.
You can't use a proxy server to access WLM Service from your Pocket PC. It simply doesn't support this.
The way that the client communicates with the Messenger service greatly differs when using a proxy, and support for this is not available in the mobile client. You NEED to create a direct connection, which thus prevents you from connecting in networks where using a proxy server (HTTP or SOCKS) is mandatory.
My mobile connected to Wifi but I couldnot surf WEB cause I didn't know how to setting up
my working Proxy via port 8080.
Help me!
Same problem here, but a little diferent.
I connect to the proxy server in my office network trough wireless access point, and then it asks me for the user credentials. I put in the credentials (i have an unrestricted account, i'm one of the administrators) but then it keeps asking me for them as if i had used wrong credentials! Are there any configuration on the proxy server to accept WM6.1 connections?
Thank's!

Public IP Address??

I am trying to run one of the many FTP servers available for Windows Mobile (vxFTPSrv or ShareIT FTP) to keep some files in sync but I can't seem to figure out what public IP address my phone has. vxFTPSrv says it is listening to a non-routable 10.**** while whatismy ip says it starts with a 200.**** while DynDNS for Windows Mobile says it is 32.****. Nevertheless, none of these work nor can I get these programs to listen to the ports. Any ideas? Does the Tilt even get a public IP address from AT&T? Thanks.
Try this
I'm no pro, but had to tell the Physical address to the the tech guy at my university so he could enable my phone o use the wireless network...
... anyways, download and install a Registry Editor (I use Task Manager v2.8) you should be able to access an Ipconfig tab, where all the information is available.
I don't know if I'm in the right track.... Hope this helps? =)

your pda have an ip address
using wifi router the uplink sees the routers ip
using an isp the internet sees the isp's assigned ip

Another good one I use is Iper Suite.

For casual use the first one is probably satisfactory.
IPer is worth buying for the increased functionality and has a TFTP client.

200.* would be a public IP. As would 32.*
Turn off your proxy setting in the phone and do the www.whatismyip.com thing. That will get you a more meaningfull result than anything else.
When I'm on GPRS/Edge (AT&T proxy settings in force) network I get a 66.102.186.15 IP address as reported by whatismyip.com. That resolves to alpmagr1fe06-dmz.mycingular.net. Which should be a att proxy server even tho it implies by its name its on a DMZ.
When I turn off the proxy for GPRS/Edge I get 166.195.188.15 according to whatismyip.com. That IP address will not respond to ICMP commands. So I assume it is firewalled. So it seems to me that yes you CAN and DO get a public IP address, its just that address is heavily firewalled.
You've piqued my interest, tho I cannot do anymore testing at this moment.

[Off-Topic] How do I setup a connection to my home web server?

(Don't blame me for being long-winded, I'm just explaning the situation (why I want to do all these) and also to prevent people from asking questions such as "Why do you even want to host your website at home?")
I want to pay for web hosting, but, as a student, I can't. I also want to host all my Android Development on my site, apart from XDA and Samdroid. But, I can't use a credit card (obviously, my country dosen't allow ownage of CCs before 21), and free web hosts (sorry for shouting) S*CK. Slow loading, banning because of CPU-hogging/ too many cron jobs, etc, etc... Also, my parents are paranoid about their credit card details being sold online at exorbitant prices. I do understand that web hosting is expensive, and it is not really wise to allow free web hosting, and I do not want to blame them for banning me, hence I decided to host my website from home. *catches breath* I do have some prior knowledge of fixing stuff, and whipping old parts into one lean mean computing machine. I've set up the computer, and configured my router. I can view the web site (It's good'ol wordpress) when I typed my local IP into the web browser from another computer in the home network. But, when I tried to access using the public IP from my school, I cannot enter the site. I have previously configured port-forwarding. I used No-IP's dynamic DNS client in this case. When I checked my public IP using different websites, all gave me different information. One gave me an IP with 255.244.***.***, another gave me 157.209.***.***, and others gave me 255.250.***.***
1) How do I make sure that when someone types in a URL or IP, it will show me what I want them to show?
2) Why are different websites give me different public IPs? No, I don't have a firewall, or a proxy.
We need more information:
1. Who is your internet provider
2. How do you connect? ADSL/SDSL/T1/Dial up?
3. If its ADSL/SDSL then you'll have a router (unless they've given you a USB modem for it). We'll need to know what type.
4. What's your concection speed, both down and more importantly up.
Now, assuming your ISP doesn't give you web space that you could use, then you'll need the following:
You'll need a dynamic dns service, some are free.
You'll need a router which can forward http (TCP port 80) traffic from the internet to your web server.
Once the router is forwarding http traffic to the web server, people on the internet will be able to access your website.
If you want to access it using the same address then you'll have to update your hosts file on your computer.
For windows this is in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Add an entry like:
dynamic dns web address IP address of webserver
So if you've set up arikyeo.dyndns.org and your webserver's internal IP address is 192.168.0.200 then you'd add the following to the hosts file:
arikyeo.dyndns.org 192.168.0.200

I used No-IP dynamic DNS service, with their client. But, it didn't work. I am using Singtel as my ISP, with a Linksys B/G router. I have forwarded the port 80 to the IP, and set port 80 as an exception. I can view the site locally, but not from the outside world.
Setup your no ip on their site as a port 80 forward. Forward this to the local port on your computer that you are using for the server. Log into your router and port forward the same port that you put in for the no ip into the from and to ports section and be sure its forwarding to your lan ip. After this is done then try it.

I see that you have already been told how best to start your server. I can also recommend instructions for collecting server statistics https://www.host-tracker.com/Blog/server_m/ This will come in handy for you in the future. Here you can configure notifications for server failures.

[Q] Authenticate on Intranet websites?

I would like to use the xoom to view web pages on my companies intranet site when I am connected to the internal wifi. When I connect to a web page with the browser, I am promted for my login details. No matter how I try and put them in, I seem to be unable to connect. I have tried specifying my user name:
user
[email protected]
domain\user
When using a laptop not joined to the domain, I can use [email protected] or domain\user.
Does anyone know how I can connect to these secured sites? Is there another browser I should use or is this some kerberos/android incompatibility?
For me I just have to use my company email address
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
id try out firefox if your are still having problems
we have a staff intranet, and I can log in using my normal username and password. must be the way you guys have it configured. sorry not much use, but just +1 for "works for me".

I have the same issue, I would like to log into my sharepoint site but I get a user/pass/domain auth challenge that no matter what I enter comes back incorrect.
I designed and installed and currently maintain the global network for my company, and I can tell you, we've had success with our Android OS users authenticating.
If the default authentication (domain\user) doesn't work, try using the FQDN of your domain (may not be a .com). If you work for XYZ Corp, you may have e-mail address [email protected], but your authentication may be [email protected]
You can check your domain info (provided your Exchange admin hasn't removed it) on your GAL contact card. Open Exchange (webmail or Outlook client) and open your contact card (search the GAL for yourself). Look under the "E-mail addresses" section). If you see something other than a global TLD (.com, .net, ...), you may want to try it. Alternatively, from a domain machine, type ipconfig /all and check what your DNS suffix is. That should get you rolling.
Worst case, check w/your IT department and see if you work with jerks or cool people Review access logs with them from your intranet site and see what username your device is sending. If you'd like, I can provide a simple Windows-based authentication site for you all to test, I will post and review logs with you.
Let me know if you want me to, I'll set up a website.
The stock browser doesnt support anything but basic authentication apparantly
Use firefox and it works
Firefox does seem to work, but the default browser is way better for all other things... oh well.
