Hi all,
I've just got my XDAIIs and am just playing about with it before I start loading all my apps and syncing with outlook.
I've got the Wifi working with my home access point (with encryption).
When I try and use Terminal Service to remote desktop to my pc it trys to dial-up to O2 Active GPRS - why won't it use the wifi connection thats enabled? I can ping the pc via hostname and ip fine though.
By the way, the XDIIs is setup for use on O2 as standard (it's a brand new contract phone).
Any ideas? ANy help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
i think if you change the type of network from internet to work on the xda iis, then it might work.
I had a similar problem with activesync over wifi and had to set network card to work to get it to connect.
I tried that and it was still doing the same.
For atest I deleted all connection settings.
Then Terminal Services told me that I HAD to create a VPN connection setting for the server I'm connecting to. I did this but it kept faling when trying to connect with user/pass error.
I then thought I'd try the IP address of my machine instead of the hostname - This worked straight away!!
So does Terminal Services not like hostnames? I was hoping to connect to my server when I'm away from home using my no-ip address.
Does anyone have a similar setup or can shed any light on this?
Many thanks
DOH!
Just realised I should be using the fully qualified hostname rather than just the pc name.
i.e.
"server.uniquetouch.local" instead of just "server"
"athlon1400.uniquetouch.local" instead of just "athlon1400"
"pentium4.uniquetouch.local" instead of just "pentium4"
"dell.uniquetouch.local" instead of just "dell"
Now that I've got that bit working, I'm going to add the O2 GPRS connection settings back in and see if it still works.
Have you tried pocketVNC yet?? im just about to install it as i run vnc on all our system instead of terminal services
I also recommend VNC viewer.
It acts, amongst others, as a remote control to my windows media player & winamp on my media server.
You can find it all over the place, but here is 1 link:

Hi Guys,
either I dont know how to search or there is no info on VPN on the forum(I probably dont know how to search) In any case. I need assistance. How do I setup a VPN on my TyTn running WM6 and also how do I get remote desktop client? I am sure this was around previously. Did MS remove it from WM6? Or was it HTC? It this is the case.. how can one get it back?
thanks!
here's remote desktop. How do you use it? I don't know how to set it up.
thanks!!!!
now for VPN....
cheers!
The remote desktop client is available in several places in this forum for download.
To set up a VPN:
add a new VPN server connection
enter the name / ip of the server you want to connect to
select the vpn type -- ipsec or pptp
next
enter your user name and password
finish
The only way I have found to connect to the von is to goto
Start-Settings-connections-connections-edit my vpn servers- -- tap & hold MY VPN
select connect
you must be using a plan that assigns you a public IP (not WAP)
hope this helps

Thanks cmccarter, done it but how will I know I am connected.. It does not say connected anywhere that I can see and when clicking/hold on the item it gives me the option to connect again, not disconnect as I would have thought The other thing is terminal server does not connect. It connects fine on USB. VPN/Remote desktop connects fine using normal internet on pc from outside the network. So I believe the network settings are fine.. How would I know though if I am on WAP or get an IP. Also ow would I know if the VPN is connected?
thanks
fyi
i also have struggled getting rdp to work over a vpn, in particular over 3+/hsdpa
the only i found in wm5 was to add the vpn connect to the exceptions list of the connection manager, so that it didnt disconnect the vpn whem connecting the rdp.
this occurs more when u use an ip address to connect to a work intranet.
suppose if u use the dns name of the machine and not the ip address then it isnt that much of an issue. in wm5 when u put the ip address in it assumes a an internet rather than intranet connection so it disconnects the vpn to look for the ip over the internet
putting the ip into exceptions forced wm5 to not disconnect it when rdp was looking for it.
i cudnt get it to work this way in wm6 so i am also looking for an answer on this.
rdp to my servers when they have crashed and i am on the road wud b wonderful....
Hi,
I've a similar problem.
I use a VPN-1 SecuRemote that normally connect my PC directly to the company network.
Well, using the share modem tool, I'm not able to reach the gateway.
the share modem system give me a private IP that establish a connection between PC and TYTN.
This connection use the Tytn like a gateway to navigate in internet.
Someone know to solve this issue?
Tanks a lot
if i select start the vpn connection, nothing happens - and i can`t ping the IP`s in the VPN. so i think the vpn ist not open - OR the routing entrie is missing....
is there some shiny "pptp - standalone" client?
greets, Nik
for some reason i dont think the vpn option works over 3g/hsdpa, atleast not on my device using t-mob web and walk.
if i connect the vpn when using wifi it connects and everything is fine, if i try and connect when i'm already running a 3g connection it doesn't work.
i dont think the radio stack is capible of handling a 3g connection and a vpn connection. we might need to go down the route of getting a seprate wm vpn client.
Hi, first of all sorry for my english...
This is my problem: I have a BA Windows Mobile 2003 and I want to use it like a modem for my laptop (using gprs connection).
I read the wiki Blue Angel as USB Modem but something is not working.
My laptop OS is Microsoft Vista. I can see the "HTC USB Modem" in the modem list and the port selected automatically during installation was COM4 and I don't know how to change it if necessary. If I launch the "USB MODEM Dialer" in my laptop i can't see a modem available (Modem: <No USB Modem>).
The BA is connected to the laptop using the USB cradle.
Someone can help me?
Is there a way to connect the laptop using wifi with the BA and use the the gprs connection to reach internet? I tried WMWifiRouter but it is not compatible with Windows Mobile 2003.
Andrea
hello and welcome to the forum, there are several options for you:
- you could try -=HTC Wifi Router=-, which is much better than wmwifirouter, but might not work with wm2003, sorry i can't test that, i use wm6.5
- and that would be the next thing, why not try and use another rom, nobody forces you to use such an outdated OS, try wm5, wm6, wm6.1 or wm6.5, you wouldn't have any problems with incompatible software then.
- or, and that might just be the one you'd pick you make up an ad-hoc wlan connection.
the way to do it is:
1. make sure, your pc has all the drivers needed for wireless lan installed
2. ALL of them, forget windows zero config, when it comes to ad-hoc, install all the nifty little tools, you thought, you could live without, because from now on, you can't anymore.
3. then open the tools and make them the default program for managing wireless communication, so that then, when you take the windows wlan search, it does not search for networks, but says, "some other program is managing wlan, windows can't search for networks" or something similar, then you are right and coming closer.
3.a you might have realized, i can't describe all that in detail. i don't know, your wlan device manufacturer, your native language and many other aspects necessary to describe with more detail.
4. on your pc, go to "network connections" right click your wireless device and go to properties.
5. select TCP/IP v4 and click settings
6. set it on manual and choose the following, from top to bottom:
ip 192.168.1.101
snm 255.255.255.0
gw 192.168.1.1
dns 192.168.1.1
adns 192.168.1.2
7. go to your device and call up start->settings->connections->network cards, go to the 2nd panel, select the tiaxclwlan(or something like that) and set the ip config on manual and use these settings:
ip 192.168.1.1
snm 255.255.255.0
gw 192.168.1.1
dns 192.168.1.1
adns 192.168.1.2
8. having all these things set, you can now start your ad-hoc wlan on your pc, using the manufacturer's tools, which should provide you with an option to set up a new ad-hoc
9. select encryption wep and choose a key according to the regulations of wep keys (13 numbers are just fine i believe)
10. take your BA and start looking for wlans in range, make sure "all networks" is selected, and NOT "just accesspoints"
11. as soon as the network is found, connect and enter the key you picked in 9.
12. as soon as you are connected your gprs connection should be shared with the pc. since i am not an expert when it comes to gprs and i don't have my device with me, because i am at work and just can't re-create the conditions, i had to write this all by heart, maybe there are some inaccuracies, but, as always, there are small things to be determined by intelligent guessing or googling
nice work by the way, making your first post this hard to answer, because you looked up things yourself in before.
with best regards,
Chef_Tony
Post deleted,
double post
Thank you (a lot) for the long answer!
1) -=HTC Wifi Router=- is not working on WM 2003, i already tried before.
2) (try wm5, wm6, wm6.1 or wm6.5): i will do it in the future, but I need a fast solution in one/two days. I will try with wm6.5 after holidays
3) I followed what you suggested (not only the nifty little tools, I don't know what they are and where they are). At the end of all I have the laptop and the BA connected wireless, but I can't open gprs connection on the BA. To do it, i usually opened a web page with IE, but if i do it now, IE will try to find the page using wi-fi connection and not trying to open a gprs connection.
The edit button in the forum is not working, so i write another post:
if i go to "Wireless manager" i can connect to gprs and i can see the gprs button green. Then i go to "Wireless LAN management" or something similar (i don't know because I have an italian OS) and i click on "Wireless lan actived" to connect to the laptop. If I go back to Wireless manager i can see the gprs button becoming red and the wlan button becoming green. And i lose the gprs connection.
that is too bad, as mentioned before i am not an expert on gprs, in fact i never used it before, because it is hellishly expensive but i used the other way around often, connect via ad-hoc wlan to a pc, connected to the internet by lan, i even connected to a wlan router once that was not connected to the network, but another client pc, connected to the internet via lan and connected to the router allowed me to go through the router and then through the pc to the net, that was neat, those things are, where i recalled the ad-hoc informations, who would have guessed the BA was as "smart" as preferring the free and faster connection. there must be a way to force it!
i will continue to think about it and hope more senior members have a look into this and maybe advise you on how to do it (although i have to admit, at this point i believe, before a solution is found, more than one or two days might pass by, which makes upgrading a faster alternative again )
Thank you Tony. Tomorrow i will leave home for holiday, and without solution i will be disconnected from internet for 15 days... but when i'll be back i will try to upgrade the operative system.
If someone will be able to give me a hint for my problem... i remeber you that I will go in holiday tomorrow, not exactly now....
Is there some tutorial/help on using hte Remote Desktop Mobile to connect to a PC? I haven't been able to connect TP 2 to my PC running Vista. I put in the Computer name, User name, password, and domain and when I clicked "Connect", it returned an error:
Cannot connect. Likely reasons are:
1. specified computer name or ip does not exist.
2. A network error occured while establishing connection.
I tried both domain name and ip. Made no difference.
I also tried both on 3G as well as WiFi but it made no difference.
You'll need to set up two things:
set the vista machine to accept the remote connections
http://howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/turn-on-remote-desktop-in-windows-vista/
forward port 3389 on your router if you have one
http://portforward.com/
Then you should be up and running!

Thanks, mad-tunes. Got it working now, at least when connected by WiFi. And when the phone and the PC are on the same Wifi network, I can connect simply by putting in the computer ip address. No domain is required and no port configuring required too.

Good stuff, glad it helped a bit....
If you can't connect from the outside world (ie, using GPRS), then it's most probably a port forward thing...
If you want to get this bit working: How's the machine you're trying to RDP to connected to the 'net exactly?
(ADSL modem, router etc?)

Yes, the PC is behind the router. So probably woould need to do port forward as you have suggested. Having tested it yet. Would try this out later this week.
I was wondering, is theres a way to do this if youre on a home edition of windows?
the home edition I dont believe has remote desktop.
Remote desktop mobile using 3G connection
Has anyone gotten remote desktop mobile to work using only a 3G connection? I've got it working perfectly using wifi but can't for the life of me figure out how to do it over 3G. I searched and the closest thing I could find to being helpful was the following:
I had the same problem till I created two VPN connections. One for internal use (WiFi) and one for extenal use (3G).
The internal one uses the internal IP address of the VPN server and the external one uses the external IP address.
You have to sleect which connection you want to use before starting the connection depending on whether u r using WiFi or 3G.
Hope that makes sense. It works 4 me.

This makes sense but it's confusing about what to change in the VPN connection settings. Can anyone explain in more detail?
Thank you very much

No. You can only use third party solutions like VNC. RDP host is not included in Home Edition.
You have to go into your router and set up a port forward so that 3389 goes to internal IP address of the system you want to remote into. If you have port forwarding/triggering, you can have a different port (eg, 3390) trigger to 3389 internally. If you don't have port forwarding, you can change the listening port from the default 3389 to, eg, 3390 and then you can create a port forward to remote in that way. To access, add :3390 to the end of the remote address (eg, 64.246.222.91:3390). The registry path to the listening port is:
HLKM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
You must reboot after changing the setting.
If you have a domain, it is incredibly useful to set up DNS for this, then you can simply enter the DNS name in the client. This works internally as well.
Update: So i just went to a Starbucks and tried using the wifi there to connect to my remote desktop and it couldn't connect!? But it can connect when I'm using the same wifi router as my remote computer does this mean I don't have the router properly port forwarded? Or is it some other issue? Any advice would be great.
Thanks
When you use your wifi at home, it ends up in the same IP subnet as the remote computer, so all you need to do is to enter the computer name.
When you're at a hotspot, you need to enter the public IP address for your router and step up port forwarding. Wifi outside of your home is no different from using EVDO as far as IP addressing is concerned. You must enter via public IP.
If you don't know what your public IP address is, open a browser from any computer at home and go to this URL:
http://whatismyip.com
It will tell you what the public IP is.
Cheap Loop-Hole
I got Remote Desktop to work on 3G.
First open Opera (or what ever your default browser is) set a home page to something that takes at least 5-10 second to load (if longer, even better), like an email account or m.myspace.com. Simple sites like m.google.com won't work because they load to quickly.
Close OPERA: I mean make sure its closed not just minimized.
This next part needs to be done rather quickly, so I advise making Remote Desktop a top icon in your Start Menu.
So Launch opera, and quickly launch Remote Desktop and hit connect.
Remote Desktop will piggy back off the Opera browser connection to get out to your computer.
Note: (make sure remote desktop works at home first, either by wifi, blue tooth, or direct usb, and by checking it from a computer outside of your network) once you know it works you should be able to connect to it.
Also note: as some one stated above, make sure that proper ports have been open on the computer and router than you should be good to go.
I'm sure their is a registry fix to get the remote desktop working without doing this, but this is the only way I've been able to do it for now..
Hope this helps...

Thanks a lot guys! It's working just fine now (on both wifi and 3G!) turns out I didn't have the router properly port forwarded.
just started trying to figure this out today. spent about 15 minutes but couldnt get it going.
just installed windows7 on my old pc and im trying to get my htc tp2 (rhodium) to work with the preinstalled Remote Desktop Mobile application. i forwarded port 3389 on both tcp and udp since i didnt know which was necessary.
is a static ip necessary to get this setup by going into the ipv4 settings? also, what is the application looking for with the input for "domain"? - subnet mask? default gateway for my home network?
so far i have tried the following inputs in my tp2 for Remote Desktop Moble:
Computer: public ip
User Name: windows7 login name
password: windows 7 login password
domain: ???
any help is appreciated. going to try this more when i get home from work.

network-wise what you need to do depends on how your PC's connected to the 'net...
if it's connected directly via something like a USB ADSL model or Virgin media cable box, then you'll only need to let 3389 through your PCs firewall.
If it's connected via anything like a router, then you'll also have to allow 3389 through your routers firewall, as well as forwarding port 3389 to your machine inside your network.
it's the port forwarding which needs the internal IP of your PC, so a static one's a good idea (otherwise, if your PCs internal IP address changes it'll stop working). you could set your router to always hand the same IP to your PC MAC address, which can be the best of both worlds (and how I do it).
http://www.portforward.coms a good place to start to find how to forward ports for your router if you're using one..
You also have to go to control panel>system>advanced system settings>remote and set things as you need in the 'remote desktop' section.
if you don't have the 'remote desktop' section, then you're running one of the home versions of the OS which doesn't support Remote desktop conenctions (out of the box )
re domains...if its a normal home PC and nothing to do with a business, then you wont have to enter one at all.
Once you're at home, get your TP2 on your internal network (wifi), and then try to rdp to your machine using its INTERNAL ip (192.168.*.*) and see if that works.
if it does, the PC end's fine and it's your router config you need to get right. if it doesnt, then its something at the PC..
post back here if you still have trouble..
ok, so connecting with the tp2 via 192.xxx.x.x works fine from within the network at home on wifi.
however, once i try and connect with the public ip, it doesnt work. did the port forwarding thing.
i setup the static ip, i tried putting the host pc in the dmz, and still nothing. i tried disabling the host pc's firewall, and nothing.
in remote desktop mobile, im putting in the public ip of the host pc, and have tried filling in the username and password fields, and also tried leaving them blank.
any ideas?

if its workin from inside your network, your PCs set just fine...so it must be the firewall or port forward on your router...
double-check that 3389s alowed through its firewall
and
the forwards set to point UPD+TCP on port 3389 to the current internal IP of your PC.
tbh, I cant think of much else but let me know how you get on
ah, got it working. had to forward from ANY -> 3389, not 3389->3389. duh. works now.
thanks guys
Strange, you shouldn't have had to. RDP defaults to 3389 so the client should be using that from the word go (I know mine do!)...it could be a wierd router thing.
Depending on the exact option(s) you had to change to get it going though, it's making your machine a little more open to the outside world. but maybe not in a huge way....
(so, is it now AnyIP:AnyPort>YourIP:3389 or AnyIp:AnyPort>YourIP:AnyPort? I think forwarding all ports to 3389 would wreck eMule!)
It's probably worth changing the port used from the default though tbh.
Your change it in the PCs registry and add ortno to the end of what you enter into the client.
(so it'd be something like 192.168.0.1:3390, for example)
Then change the rules on the router to match, of course.

I really need this.. and have no idea what to do. unfortunately, i can't forward a port for a broadcast address in my LinkSys WRT160N.
anyone knows how to set this up?
Set up LinkSys
Hi,
Try to setup your router without the broadcast, sometimes it works... For example, if your PC's IP is 192.168.0.10 and your extern LinkSys's IP is 80.32.3.4, try to set up your router like this :
UDP forwarding:
in port: 12345 for example (you can use any number below 65535)
out IP: 192.168.0.10
out port: 9 (or 7 depands of your hardware)
Then in my app, the host IP will be 80.32.3.4 and the port 12345...
I hope it will be OK...
which app works best?? because there is 2 of these circling around these forums.. and i'm going to use the best one... which is more user friendly? and has the least amount of router input work?? either that... or will the op be so kind and kinda hold my hand and walk me through it via PM?? i will gladly sport your appication
The other application can save the configuration of multiple computers while mine only records one...
Also, mine is not based on dotNET so is slightly faster...
@nir36:
You could also try to use a smaller subnet/range. My router won't allow to forward a port to 192.168.0.255, but I changed the subnet mask to 255.255.255.224 and so the range is from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.30 with 192.168.0.31 being the broadcast address for that range and which I can forward the needed port to.
You can use a subnet calculator if you need more or different IP addresses (do a search for subnet masks on google)
@ProjektFuze:
Least router input work ?? You have to setup your router/computer the same, the program just takes the public IP address, MAC address and port and sends a packet which is the same for both.
I would say WOL everywhere is more complete but this app here is more straightforward if you need it for only one computer...

It should work with 3G... It's probably a router problem !
When using 3g, the IP you set in my app must be a public IP (not 192.168.X.X) and if you have a router, you should tell him to route the packet to your local IP...
If you don't understand (English is not my native language), tell me more about your problem.

Strange...
When you are allready connected to internet, is the button enabled ?
I have a friend which have an HD2, I will try with his device and post here tomorow... Maybe another application prevents the connection...
I've tested my app on the HD2, and no problems...
My app should show your IP when connection is found. Try to:
-unconnect from 3G and launch wakeonwan. My app will normally trying to connect using 3G. Is this step OK?
-Connect your phone and launch wakeonwan. My app will normally trying to find your IP. Is this step OK?
No, neither works! It only say "Cant connect to internet"! It´s only on Wifi it connects... :-S
Ok, I will try to change the connection process and update it...
To understand the problem, what is the real message printed ?
Can't establish connection to web...
Can't find web connections...
Can't retrieve available connections...
Can't find your IP address...
An other question: is the app searching for a connection or the message is directly printed?
Thank's
Ok, can you try this version ?
remplace the old .exe with this version in /program files/WakeOnWan/
It´s the first one, Can't establish connection to web.
And i will try out the file you posted...
