I have VNC as well as Teamviewer Clients running on SD Froyo with no problems. Does anyone know of a working Server?
Would very much like to control and view the NC from my pc.
BTW... there is a so called "droid vnc server" which does not work.
Remote access
There are a few ways you can go: (Sorry I don't have the links but a search should provide them)
Samba server - do a search here on the forums (free)
File Expert - has a built-in HTTP server (Market - free)
WiFi File Explorer Pro (Market - paid)
Thanks... but what I am looking for is a "Remote Control" Server .
Like VNC, where I can view and control the NOOK or any android device from a windows or Linux VNC viewer
Gotcha
Gotcha - my misunderstanding...
I have that for my iPhone - it would be cool to have control of the interface.
WEBKEY
I have not confirmed this works on NC yet but I use WEBKEY everyday on my epic while at work. It works like a charm, I leave the phone in the other room and control the audio and sms via the network. works over the internet as well as local network.

Hi, i have not found a Remote Desktop client app, and would like to ask if anybody knows anything about that. I come from windows mobile world and this is a very important tool for me to connect to the office.
No remote desktop app?
Ok I have been in the same boat as I had a Uni w/WM6 using logmein for remote desktop. With that being said I have the G1 and could not connect. I found a way! Use Operamini which was just released on the market and you have the option of switching from ActiveX (which the browser doesn't really support to HTML which would be fine. ActiveX option is available but it is slow as HTML..
Good Luck fellow droids
Found this on the Nook forum by user colorado_al. Works great on my Gtab (vegan b5)

I believe Es File Explorer app does this as well. I however want to connect android to android on LAN wifi but haven't found any app to do this
I could be wrong, but I don't think ES Exp allows you to browse your GTab from a PC. Haven't tried to android to android though.
I use Wireless File Transfer from the market. Works great. From pc to phone and vice versa.
Works great thanks for [email protected]
Works great, free, easy set up, password protection, and auto enable.
Back ups are a snap now.
Thanks!!!
Bluetooth File Share is similar and my personal favorite because it can package apps into apk's and send them via BT android to android.
Can't seem to find a good WebDAV app. I want access to files on home NAS running as WebDAV server; same idea as Box.net. Was using WebDAV access in Readdledocs on iPad and it worked great. Looking for something similar for Xoom.
Just thought I'd post a little bit about how you can have media streaming to work reliable which has any kind of GeoIP, e.g. watching BBC iplayer from outside UK, or ITVplayer outside UK.
So we all know how to get Flashplayer on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, its download the flashplayer apk and the Firefox Beta, I'll not cover that.
I also assume you have a UK proxy server you control, like a Linux server in the remote country.
The core problem is there isn't a FOXY PROXY plugin for Firefox Beta on Android yet. Foxy Proxy is brilliant it lets you control precisely which URLs to route over a proxy, so e.g. you can simply use a *bbc* and *itv* through the proxy.
A little known fact is that the remote site's GeoIP checker is not the same remote IP as that which does the media streaming, so you need only be routing through the proxy for traffic-light traffic and go direct to the media streaming IP otherwise. With FoxyProxy the media streaming sites are not (for some reason) URLs from the media service. e.g. BBC's streaming is a *llnl* service, ITV's player is 99.3.0.0/16 for media streaming.
So given the browser does have a "whitelist" or "blacklist" capability you get from FoxyProxy addon for Firefox, you have to the mirror opposite with the Proxy settings.
The only way I've found to do this is ProxyDroid, it has the concept of "proxy all but not these" so it has a blacklist. So what I have to do is have Proxydroid route ALL traffic, EXCEPT and then give the list of the exceptions. If I want to watch the remote media content then enable ProxyDroid, it connects as if its in the remote country but bypasses the proxy for the bandwidth-heavy task.
Having the exception list for Proxydroid makes a real difference, it moves from unwatchable to performing very well.
To get the exception list, well either someone can do the effort for you and post the blacklist online but to be honest all that the media streamers will do is change their IP addresses so that cat'n'mouse game you'd lose eventually.
So a more assured way is for the remote proxy server to be running a traffic analyser. A simple one is Darkstat. Install it on the remote system.
Then, clear the darkstat database (stop darkstat, rm the deb, start darkstat). Then on your Nexus 7, enable ProxyDroid, and begin streaming media. As you're proxying through the remote server anyway, in browser to go the darkstat web server (e.g. 192.168.0.1:667, whatever is the IP on the LAN of your proxy server and the port you've configured) and look for the BANDWIDTH HEAVY traffic. Then, disable proxydroid on the Nexus, and place the bandwidth heavy subnet in the blocklist in proxydroid, e.g. if ITVplayer is streaming off 199.3.x.y then tell Proxydroid to not use 199.3.0.0/116, that will allow all those IP 193.3.something.something to bypass the proxy.
Overall, this is quicker to do with a Tablet and a desktop PC side by side than all on the tablet as its lots of swapping between windows, until you've got the exceptions subnets list.
However, it all works. The method is universal, it will work with any country, any kind of geoIP blocker and you only need a Linux server in the country which does GeoIP, either from a friend telling it won't saturate their upload bandwidth after you've done the traffic analysis.
Also, as this method bypasses the proxy server for bandwidth-heavy, you have a proxy server with little bandwidth, because you're only using to find the bandwidth-heavy IPs to bypass the proxy.
Makes a big difference.
pay for a cheap vpn or vps, $2 a month, login to that :good:
I recommend Hideman VPN. It's fast and reliable.

I've been using Witopia for the last year and it has been running perfectly. Works out to about $5/month which isn't too bad considering the number of servers/locations you get. Pair that up with the OpenVpn app from the Play Store and it works great.

I am new to the world of the transformer so I am looking for a good rdp app. I tried X2 and the microsoft rdp app but they just dont feel right. I think i will next try splashtop. Just wanted to see what you all are using.
try logmein
i use Teamviewer, do i miss something important ? i mean, whats the advantage of things like Splashtop?
x2 is for sure the best for RDP i was amazed how well it works and its free
I prefer JumpDesktop, because it works perfectly for rdp and vnc. if you only need to connect to windows machines you may give the new microsoft rdp client app a shot.
X2 gets my vote, but the new Microsoft rdp client is supposed to be great if your running Windows 8.1

I could be wrong, but I think it is 2X not X2.
It depends on what you are looking to do. I use 2X (RDP) as well as splashtop.
2X just uses RDP (Terminal Services) built into the OS, no 3rd party app running. The downfall of Terminal Services is there is NO video compression. You will need a good 20 Mbps or more to have a smooth experience at full HD resolutions.
Enter apps like Splashtop. Splashtop runs a server app on the computer and when not connected, it is near dormant. But, look at your CPU usage when connected. On a dual core 2.7 GHz AMD processor, you are looking at 60-70% CPU usage for the video compression. The advantage is you only need 3-5 Mbps for smooth full HD resolutions to work. Also, if you pay for the remote connections with Splashtop you do not need to worry about a NAT on your router, or to use a dynamic DNS client to keep your IP updates so you can connect. Splashtop is free for local (on the same network). I got a free upgrade as I had paid for Splashtop on iOS and was grandfathered for life when they switched to their new model.
I know some others like TeamViewer do not have to pay to connect remotely.
If your home router is a VPN server, just connect to your VPN and then it will appear you are on the same local network.
I rarely have to use my tablet to log into windows remote PC, so JumpDesktop costs money while app like 2x does it well and free. I also try to avoid running additional server side applications, just VNC and RDP is great.
I will give a try to the official Microsoft RDP app!

I'm using RDP to share my windows laptop with my wife the official RDP is nice, but can be trouble if you have a non english keyboard (which is already an issue with RDP anyway ).

Can anyone describe how the TF701 dock's physical keys are mapped In LMI, and when you need to use the on-screen keyboards? Specifically, can the PCs Fn keys, cursor keys, and edit keys be accessed from the physical keyboard, or do you need to use the screen to get to those? I currently do not have the keyboard dock, and am debating if it would help with the LMI app, or if I should get a Windows ultrabook instead.
