[Q] IP Telephony. - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a paid-for IP windows program, only 2,7 mb. Is there a way that I can install it on my Windows Mobile?
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

You mean you have a paid-for Windows program that runs on your PC? Might as well ask whether you can install a Mac OS X program on your iPhone. The answer is no. There are multiple reasons.
Now, it's possible that the company which made that program has a phone app version in the store. Have you checked? Alternatively, have you contacted them to ask about using the service on your phone?

OEM Vista Home Premium to Ultimate

Hi, I got Vista Home Premium on my PC, its an OEM copy so as far as I know I can't use it with another PC. But, if I buy OEM Vista Ultimate will I be able to install it on the same PC?
I don't want to updgrade, I will be doing a fresh install on a formatted Hard Disk. But I just wondered if OEM versions (eg: Vista HP) send my motherboard serial number to Microsfot and prevent another copy of OEM (eg: Vista Ultimate) being installed on it. I don't want to run them at the same time either, just "swap versions" basically.
Thanks!
it would not be logical for ms to block it that way as it would result in them selling less copies
p.s. why get ultimate?
i ask because alot of people seem to go for the name more then the difference between them
unless one require the 64bit vista or want the
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsvista/editions/choose.mspx
ms versions of what many other 3th party programs offer in a grater quality
then there really is no reason to get ultimate
it's not faster or better just extre included tools
Windows BitLocker Drive Encryption
* unless one have REALLY secret stuff then it's more trouble then it's worth slows the system down a bit
and if one have to reinstall one cant count on getting the encrypted data back
Remote Desktop Connection
* only really usefull for servers imho where one dont wish to have to go to the server room to mess about and then do it remotely from another pc
Windows Fax and Scan
*scanners always comes with software & Fax? is stoneage tech along with teletext on tv's--
Windows Complete PC Backup and Restore
*much better 3th party backup programs then anything with ms's name on it
I use a *cough* OEM version using acer certs (acer laptop) and I find I prefer ultimate because I have used it more than Home Premium which shipped with it.

I agree, I'm just worried that no one else has tried this and I'll come across a problem.

I got Vista HP as soon as it was released. Then six months later I got Windows Home Server as soon as it was released. Turns out that Remote Desktop'ing from the web to your home PC (via Windows Home Server) is only possible with Vista Ultimate. A big annouance for Home Premium buyers.
There are some tweaks for Vista HP, but I am thinking I wil go down this route.
Vista Ultimate
Hi,
I have a copy of Vista OEM running on my home machine. It's not a problem although if you do change the hardware significantly (upgrade the BIOS, add CD drives) etc and then need to re-install it you may need to call Microsoft in order to activate it again. However, I've had to do this a couple of time with no problems from MS.
Actually you wont need to reactivate unless you change your mobo or its bios. but what i've done... i`ve patched the SLIC table in ACPI table in my bios, added Asus OEM certificate and now have ultimate (modified with vlite) which even passes WGA tests)) but if you buy a legal copy of ultimate, you can install it no matter what SLA information is in your bios

Not sure exactly how you are trying to do this, but I have no problems, using my Vista Home Premium Laptop to connect to my WHS box and use RDP... Are you sure that your WHS has the ports opened properly...?
" Remote Desktop'ing from the web to your home PC (via Windows Home Server) is only possible with Vista Ultimate. A big annouance for Home Premium buyers."
as far as i know it's also possible with business version of vista
but of cause that lacks mediacenter and such
So for those of you you want Remote Desktop "server" capabilities on your computer and want Vista Ultimate for that reason alone, check out:

Thanks for all the replies.
@ debonairone - I'm talking about being at a 'kiosk' pc and visiting http://myserver.homeserver.com, and being able to remote desktop into my Vista PC. I can RDP to the WHS from within Vista.
@ sketchy9 - Thanks, that is the work around I mentioned before. Seems like a lot of tweaking for me.

:up: Yes, and that Remote Desktop and multiple sessions hack works wonderfuly on Premium........
........until one installs SP1. I won't be surprised if it'll only be a few weeks until a new RD dll hack is developed to resolve the SP1 changes.

Hamachi VPN VNC Setup:

I've really begun to use Hamachi in so many different ways. Routing realvnc/ftp/voip/etc through hamachi. I make sure that only the 5.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ip block can connect and with hamachi for windows mobile and vnc/ftp/total commander/etc. I can access all my machines on the network securely. If anyone is curious on how to do this let me know.
It is nice using my home network as a proxy to access the web securely at work. It's way faster than tor, secure and no one at work can monitor my activities.
Hamachi with magicJack
Hi Klepto,
I have a magicjack. Is it possible to use hamachi free edition to tunnel VoIP? My ISP is blocking the VoIP ... I have a computer in US that I can tunnel to .. I am in Karachi.
Sincerely,
Tariq
I tried once to use hamachi on my kaiser winmo. But after installing it, I could find the way to browse through network. I tried to type the IP adress directly in the File exporer or total commander. I guess I'm missing something about the use of it despite I get it right on different PCs. And there's no faqs or docs on their website.
So while I didn't get a simple file access, you get a proxy use of your machine '-_-
How to configure it
Hi,
How is it possible to use Hamachi for Windows Mobile to connect to a hamachi gateway, I got the client, but it has been removed from their website? I got version 0.0.3.1, is it the same version you use
Thanks a lot.
Pretty P.Oed that LogmeIn just pulled the client w.o. warning. I contacted their online chat, which was useless - just told me that LMI no longer supports the Windows Mobile platform.
I updated the rom on my phone and now do not have access to my gateway.
PPCgeeks has a thread with an attachment of what is said to be Hamachi 2.0 for Win Mo. It's attached to this post. Link is here too (requires registration).
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/windows-mobile-software/109508-logmein-hamachi-mobile-beta.html
I emailed LMI as well. I don't have the gall to try install this - but am running out of options, so will probably do it.
What alternatives do I have ? Are there any good (Free) VPNs that work with WinMO that are relatively easy to configure.
URG!!

Does such a program exist?

I have serched high and low. I was wondering if there was anyway to get Microsoft Access onto my Fuze. I have a biz that runs on Access, it would be helpful if i could have it with me at all times instead of having to carry a laptop everywhere i go.
I don't think such a program exists. I'm assuming that your Access stuff is a full application with forms, etc? You can probably use something like this --> http://www.handster.com/programs.php?id=2906&for=Pocket PC mdb to update the tables, but I can't see it running reports, etc.
If you have a decent data plan, then one option is to run Remote Desktop to a PC back at base running the Access Application. I've got a Virtual Machine on my server which I can access from my Touch Pro. I can run any app I want on there, and as long as I don't try to do anything stupid (like play a video), then it works fine. This is the only way I could see your Access application working on your TP.
Cheers,
Steve.

I believe the client is built into the Fuze. If you have a custom ROM, just do a search. Several threads have the cab to install it on the Fuze. It has also been built into Windows since at least XP. You have to be a local admin or in the remote users group to Remote Desktop or RDP to your desktop.

help installing Remote Desktop Manager (RDM)

ok i didnt seach threads extensively but i figured this was an easy question to answer.
i downloaded RDM and installed the cab onto my phone. on the program i have the options for:computer, user, password, and domain. Is there a part two of the app to run on my computer?
im trying to connect to a computer running windows 2000.
You will need do enable Remote Desktop on your PC. Here is a link how to do it:
Click
Regards
Is your computer running Windows 2000 Professional or Server?
Professional does not support remote desktop/terminal services connections.
Server needs to be enabled in Add/Remove Programs, Windows Components. It will be called Terminal Services and somewhere along the way you will be asked what mode to install it in. Be sure to choose remote administration mode, not application mode.
ok the link you gave was for windows xp? does that make a difference?
i think i have windows 2000 pro. its deff not a server. i managed to get
a program called remote desktop 2.0 to access my computer by opening ports, however this program views the desktop in full color and is very laggy and slugish.
RDM aside is there any really good remote desktop program to use? i if you could help me set it up i would really appreciate it.
ive used logmein in the past, however this is like a six step process and i would prefer something simpler like a program.

Website Monitor

I was wondering if there is any windows mobile software that can monitor some specific websites on http or on specific ports.
I'm a web developer with some servers which I want to check every 10 minutes if they are online, and since i always have my mobile it would be useful if i could run some program on it.
I found the following software:
- Porta+ http://portaplus.com/
This one does not work on windows mobile 6, it always says it doesn't find a data connection, even not when I use wifi or gprs
Perhaps someone has something better?
Found in the Windows Mobile MarketPlace a nice one: "Server Monitor"

Email Alerts?
In my opinion, the far better option is to run some server-side monitoring package which sends out email alerts. Then use push email to your phone. Much more powerful monitoring can then be done, you can filter which alerts you want to get, and you'll still have monitoring being performed (but without the alerts) if you switch your phone off.
Nagios is one option - my preference is the free version of Big Brother (see http://bb4.org/home1.html - available in *nix or Windows versions). Both of those would do what you want - and more.
Thanx for the reply, but the problem is that I don't have a server where I can runs this sort a software, I only have dedicated servers pure for http en sql.
My phone is always on and has a internet plan so it would be easy if i could run something like porta+ on my phone.
Perhaps someone else has a solution?
Greetingz Themuzz
Ask porta+ if they can update it?
Just did, i'm wondering what their response will be.
But in the mean time, if anyone has another solution?
Well, found a nice one (after a year ) on the Windows Mobile MarketPlace. Namely "Server Monitor".
(For the people who where still searching)
