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!

thanks man... really works... I´m writing this from my Mogul... Remote Desktop way... way to cool... thanks a lot...
Hi, I have tried searching, but cant think of any other terms to include to find what i want.
Is there a way of installing something (preferably small) on my pc, aswell as my phone, and be able to remote shutdown my pc wherever i am, through my data connection if possible ?
Realised it would be handy, as I just finished a 10 hour shift, and forgot i had left my pc on for no reason. The only way i knew was when i signed into msn on my phone and saw my pc's msn account was online.
I use the website logmein.com
It's really easy and you can access your PC from your PDA. You can run programs on your PC, although it won't display that well (if at all) on your phone. And you can easily shutdown your PC from wherever you are.
It installs a program on your PC and then you just have to go to logmein.com on your phone. I'm not sure exactly what it installs on your phone but from my knowledge it's small.
Hope this answers your question.
enable telnet on your computer and telnet to it then shutdown -s
You can use remote desktop from your phone when setup.

How to use Astro SMB module? I cant connect to my PC with it .. I am currently using another SMB app called File Expert and it works fine.. I want to try Astro SMB module since I just loved its file manager.. Can anybody tell me how to set up astro?
Are you working with Windows Vista or 7?
In that case, newer SMB underlying protocol used by those systems might explain it, your client needs to support it.
Yeah I am using 7..
So, astro wont work?
You can do a check - perform this:
http://www.tannerwilliamson.com/2009/09/windows-7-seven-network-file-sharing-fix-samba-smb/
And try to connect. If it works - then it's the only way, due to the reason I wrote above. It's downgrading the share security, but I guess for most home networks it's not important at all.
I'm running several shares on my network, most are linux smb shares but there are a couple windows shares as well. Astro refuses to access any of them.
I installed estrong file explorer, all shares are visible and I have access to all of them. So my suggestion is to give estrong a shot. Free app with no ads

Hi,
I've Windows Xp, but Astro SMB doesn't work. Instead, Estrongs File Explorer it's able to see my pc, to connect my galaxy s with it and to let me see on the phone shared document.
But I prefer Astro SMB, so anyone can tell me how to configurate Astro to make it work?
Thanks
Look at the link posted above.
sorry, but isn't the link above only for windows 7?
I've got windows xp
The link above is for Windows 7 and Vista, indeed. Sorry, I kinda missed that part of your post.
If Astro SMB doesn't work with your Windows XP - there are 2 options: 1) if you have a corporate laptop or something - it might be set to use the same sharing security as Win7 and Vista, and then you need to do the same thing as described in the link. 2) if not - then it's probably some problem with configuration, and people might be able to help you with it. What exactly are you trying to do, and what is the result? Please describe.
no, my pc isn't a corporate laptop but an home pc.
I want to create a network between my galaxy s with android and my home pc, using my router wifi.
So i've installed smb module for Astro. Then i've selected new network--->smb. After that step, the phone ask me some information. For exactly:
-Label
-Server
-Domain
-Shared folder
-User
-Password
I've try to set as Server the IP of my pc and as user and password that one I use to access on Windows Xp. But Astro gives me the error: "unknown user or bad password".
I'd like that someone who use Astro for networking with windows Xp would tell me how to configure the net.
With Estrongs Explorer files i had no problems: when i've selected "lan", the software has searched automatically avaiable devices and found my pc with his IP. Then i've selected "connect" and Shared folders appared on my phone...
You don't need to enter user credentials to connect to common share, if I'm not mistaken. Try without username and password, only server and shared folder.

In this way it gives another error: SocketTimeoutException: socket is not connected
I've finally decided to use ES file explorer.
Ty however
Turn off simple file sharing in any explorer window. Folder, options, third tab (forget label), drill to bottom and deselect simple file sharing. Check firewall... and you should have your shares pw protected. I usually just go to my serger and put c$ in the folder field.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Finally worked
So finally i was able to share files between ASTRO & my Win7 Ulti laptop.
Assuming your settings at PC end are correct, here's what you need to do in ASTRO,
Under, Networks>New>SMB, Just fill in the..
Server: <your pc local ip, say, 192.168.1.2>
Username: Guest
Password: <blank>
I filled only the above mentioned fields, leaving everything else blank.
The above setting will work if you have simple sharing enabled on your pc with no username/password, as it was in my case or you may use the username/password for your window's login. Also see that the file/folder you are trying to share has atleast Read permission for 'Guest' account.
It should work now.
But i encountered a new problem now, i was keen to use ASTRO as i thought it will be able to play videos from my PC but when i try to open file using the Video Player, it gives some crashing sort of error & closes. However, i am able to play the same file from my memory card using Video Player.
Any solution??
Use Samba mount command from Development section, to mount your PC share as a directory under /sdcard.
I think thats possible only with rooted phones, plz correct me if i am wrong..
My phone is not rooted.
I can't verify it, but I think mount should work with non-rooted phones too, as long as you have busybox and your kernel supports CIFS (it's a good question if the stock one does - I believe you're running stock?)...

I'm able to connect to all my PCs very quickly and easily. Besides, they are working on Root permissions as well, so this can be a root explorer (currently only CM is supported).
I've enhanced my Webserver sample to support reading from the device (where allowed), as well as reading/writing IsolatedStorage
The XAP is located in the Webserver project.
To access the webserver, open the app on your phone (it will disable the idle timer and run behind the lock screen--but WiFi will turn off, so you'll want to be connected via USB or don't let it sleep)
//phone_ip/IsolatedStorage
//phone_ip/Windows
IsolatedStorage is a special case (virtual directory that uses the SDK IsolatedStore APIs), the filesystem is mounted at the root of the webserver. Note that if you navigate to //phone_ip/, you will not see anything, as we are not able to list the contents of the root directory.
I am working to create a real socket library that mimics System.Net/.Sockets, and System.IO for file access. TcpClient and TcpListener are in a mostly functional state already.
Most of the socket and I/O code came from jmorrill. I have pulled code from mono to mimic System.Net.
Perhaps I'll spend some time on the web UI next, maybe a fancy Silverlight uploader. There doesn't seem to be a ton of interest though, so we'll see.
Update ("v2"):
- Authentication
- UI
- Adapter list
- More reliable
nice.. will try it out.
Very nice! Thanks!!
I've updated the sample to one with a UI, Authentication and more reliability.
Looking at your code WP7 looks more and more like a normal windows CE with a secured UI.
Yeah, I think someone with a strong WM background could port code to [native, homebrew] WP7 pretty quickly. Pretty much everything works just fine.... I just wish we could add the System.Net .NET CF assemblies back to the GAC. :/

Noob questions: It says "connect to your wifi address below". How? Also, connect the phone or the pc? And navigate via IE mobile?
As I said, noob questions. Thanks for any help.
start ie and type in http://wifi address
I have found on alternateboot.reg
HTML:
; Disable MTPz USB function driver
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\CompositeFN]
"ClientDriverList"=multi_sz:"Serial_Class"
What is MTPz USB function driver?

I think (might be misreading your question), you'll need to plug your device in to USB (or be prepared to loose the connection), then on your desktop, go to one of the IPs listed (in IE or any other browser).
On the screenshot shown, WiFi is the last one, with "BCMSDDHD1" attached to the label, thought the device name may be different for you. Try one that has "192.168.1." as that'll be the most likely option.

I don't know what the default password is, but if you type admin/admin in on the device for user/pass that works fine.
EDIT:
Code:
// In order to secure the device, the default password is a random number, not a static default
So you'll need to change it, unless you can read minds

Ba-da-bing! We are in business.
this works great! does this work just over USB? I assumed that since I didnt see an SSID advertised that the webserver wasn't broadcasting over WiFi.
A few feature suggestions:
* Make it clearer in the device UI to use the last IP address. I had assumed I would use the SERIAL ON USB IP address
* When browsing files, show a detail view so that you can see date/time modfied, type (optional), size
* when in a subdirectory add an Up ellipsis (...) to more easily walk back up the directory tree.
* be able to filter a directory listing so that you can display just certain file types (ie *.exe)
* Be able to download files
I love it! Its handy to be able to get a file listing that you can copy so that you can capture file listings.
Scratch the suggestion to add downloading files, the filenames are of course URLs which enable http downloads
I found a bug. When you click on a file to download it the href seems to have an issue since the file extension is stripped. You can easily add it during the save but it would be easier to have that done by default. I need to check the syntax but for example for filebrowser.exe the html is:
FileBrowser.exe<br />
This was handy so that it was possible to download an EXE and see what certificate is used for signing.
It looks like if you press Back or Start the webserver shuts down or is tombstoned.
I wonder if anyone has come up with a way to keep an application from being killed.
If that was possible then the webserver could provide active control. In that case if it was running in the background a great feature to add would be a screen capture function.
Hello there, I want to sync my music with my phone (Nokia Lumia 920), I searched the internet and saw that you need an application for this if you're on a Mac with atleast OS version 10.7, now here comes my problem: I don't have that version, the current version I have is 10.6.8 and is not compatible with the software you need and is provided by Microsoft. Does anybody here know if there is some other software (doesn't have to be official by Microsoft).
P.S. Upgrading my system to 10.7 is no option, since some of my software won't work anymore...
P.P.S There is a Mac version available for 10.6.8, but that is for Windows Phone 7.
You don't need special software at all. Unlike WP7 (which did need special stuff), WP8 just uses MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) to sync. This is a widely-supported protocol - there are at least a half-dozen Linux programs that provide it; I'm sure there are OS X ones - and you should be able to use lots of different options. On Windows, you can just use Explorer (Finder, on OS X) to browse the phone's media libraries and copy stuff on and off.
That is my problem, it doesn't show up in Finder at all, I also looked in Disk Utilities to see if the disk was "hidden", but it wasn't. You really need a program on Mac OS X if you're below version 10.7...
You need *a* program (Finder is a program...). You don't need a special one from MS. As I said, many Linux programs will happily speak MTP. You just need to find such a program for OS X. I'm sure they exist. Search for "MTP client on OS X" or some such thing online, you'll probably find something.
Oh, and stop using the products of a company that intentionally renders their systems obsolete after a few years. Apple sucks. Backward compatibility means I can run 16-year-old programs like Total Annihilation on my Win8 machine, if I want to.
The Solution
Seems like I found the solution:
From the Mac OS X desktop, hit Command+Shift+G and enter /System/Library/CoreServices/
Locate SystemVersion.plist and make a backup copy of it to the desktop
Open a terminal. (If you don't know how to find it, type terminal in spotlight, in the top right-hand corner)
Type in
sudo nano /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist
Locate the keys ProductUserVisibleVersion and ProductVersion and change them from “10.6.8″ to “10.7.2″
Hit Ctrl+O then Enter to save the file (make sure you got the rights to edit in the folder!). Then Ctrl+x to exit nano.
Now launch the App Store and install Windows Phone but don't open it.
When the application has finished downloading, go back to the terminal and type in
sudo nano /Applications/Windows\ Phone.app/Contents/Info.plist
Find the field LSMinimumSystemVersion and change its string from "10.7" to "10.6.8"
Hit Ctrl+O then Enter to save the file. Then Ctrl+x to exit nano (don't close the terminal, you'll need it again later on).
Then type in
sudo nano /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist
and change back the ProductUserVisibleVersion and ProductVersion and change them to “10.6.8″.
You can now try to open the application by double clicking on it the application folder, if it doesn't work, don't panic, it didn't on my computer either. One more step is needed :
Go to your Applications folder, right click on Windows Phone and then on Show Package Content. Then go to Contents > MacOS, there will be a file here, it is the application. If you open it, a terminal window will open as well as the application which works perfectly fine. Note that if you close Terminal, the application will close as well. Therefore, don't close Terminal.
The icon will keep its strikethrough but it will work.
