- Enable remote desktop check box (check it)
- On firewall, port forward 3389 to the IP address of your XP machine
- Go to http://whatismyip.com and note the IP you are given.

Hmm... I can't get it to work. My Universal says:
Cannot connect. Likely reasons are:
1. Specified computer name or does not exist
2. A network error occurred while estabilishing the connection.
What I've done:
- Enabled the Remote Desktop on my computer.
- Forwarded the 3389 port to remote desktop in Windows's built in firewall. (I don't use any other one)
- Checked what is my IP
- Started the Remote Desktop Mobile on my Universal
- Entered the IP to the computer name
- Entered a username without any password, and domain
P.S.:
My Computer is behind a router. Maybe I need some other tweak?
P.P.S.:
What is the best Remote Desktop application if this one does not works? Maybe I should try another...
Help please.
Thanks

You need to set up your router to forward it to your PC. "Port forwarding", I think is the word, should be under Server/Application setup on your router.

WOW! You're fast! Try it, and post the changes
Well, I've found some things under my router Remote Management setup.
- Enabled HTTP
- Enabled UPNP
- Enabled PPTP
- Enabled IPSec
I'm quite new in router setup, because I've just get my first router about 1 months ago.
Maybe I'll try to pull out the router, and plug the internet directly to my PC. If it works, than the problem is in my router setup.
I've just realised it if I pull out the cable from the router, I cannot connect my PDa via wifi Saaaad
Now I must play with the router settings
Just a quick question. When switching on the wifi on your universal, which access point does it connect to ? Or you need to setup a adhoc between the pc and universal. Your universal must be on the same ip range as the desktop.
Let me know if this has been done yet.
There is some advice for setting up Terminal Services under XP SP2 at this link.
http://www.pctools.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27117
You also need to be able to ping the XP SP2 machine successfully from your XDA. Try vxUtil to make sure that you can do this.
I do this at home through WiFI and it works well, particularly through the 640x480 screen.

Well, I won't encourage you to mess with the router if you don'tknow what you are doing. As of a router, Remote Management setup -> Enabled HTTP sounds to me like that just opened your router to the outside world, and if they are able to brute force their way into your router, your router is at their mercy.
Anyway, since you said that you used your phone and PC at the same router, you ought to able to do it with the LAN IP address, which should start with 192.168. At your PC, Start -> Run -> "Cmd" -> "ipconfig". That should display your network stuff, look for the 'IP address'. Use this address instead of the one you get from whatismyip.com
Sorry for nnot posting this time. I've been busy.
Well,
To hanmin:
I didn't played with the router, because of no-time, but I'll try what you've said. But I know ehat I'm doing, I'm just not experienced about advanced networking. But maybe time will teach me. Or you guys
To mikeycrawford:
Thanks will read it, and if there's any solution try it too.
To wh1t3w0lf:
Well, I want to try remote desktop via internet, not via WiFi. I mean I want to connect to my computer from my work, so I didn't selected ad-hoc connection. BTW thanks for the help
So thank you all your helps, I will have 2 days break, maybe then I'll try all you've written. And of course post the results.
Cheers,

Awwwwwwww maaaan just tried it and it works!!!!!! Now I have another question.
Ok I'm logged in, but the XP user on my PC automatically logging out. My friend doing remote desktop from our work, and when he logs in from the work on a Pc, the PC what is at home, don't logs out, it still the same, and he can use the computer to help his girlfriend.
So if he logs in form work, his gilrfried can see what he is doing.
I hope you guys can understand it, I'm writing a bit messy.
So can I do it form my PDA to PC too? And the anwer is yes, can I get a separate program for this? I think my friend uses a program what is called VNC.
And another question: I know the built-in remote desktop in the best program for this process. What are the most useable programs? I mean: best speed, or more beautiful look.
Cheers, and thanks for helping

Windows Mobile 6 devices offer Internet Sharing feature for Bluetooth and USB. It works in this way that you start Internet Sharing application inside of your Windows Mobile phone and then other devices can share the Internet connection. What if you could fool Windows Mobile phone and instead of Bluetooth use WiFi? Would it be possible? Yes, it is:
how to use Internet Sharing over WiFi, which essentially makes the Hermes an Access Point.
Do the following:
1) Open Settings->Internet Sharing. Enable IS for Bluetooth PAN.
2) Change HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PrivateInterface to "TIACXWLN1" (it should currently be "BTPAN1").
3) Open Settings-> Connections -> Wi-Fi. Select Network Adapters tab. Click IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi.
4) Enter IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK.
5) Select Wireless tab. Add New.. to add the Network name for your ad-hoc network (I prefer "adhoc"
6) Set the client computer to use the same ad-hoc network. Client will receive an IP address from the device (don't need to manually set the IP).
I got this from a different website.

Edward!! you rock! this has got to be the sweetest thing, since wm6..for me atleast, Im actually posting from my old hacked OSX x86, I really cant believe this worked, but it did.
Thanks a ton for sharing the info.
Edward, Can you plse explain why you set the wifi adaptor to a fixed IP?
The 192.168.1.1 is as far as I know only valid if the router has the 192.168.1 range. For me it should be 192.168.123. ...
Thx for an explanation.
a cab would be perfect!
Yes! A very nice feature; could this be put in as a cab?
Or better, in the comm manager.....
Anyone?

I tried the steps to the letter however, I am unable to connect. I tried on one device running Schaps 3.54c & the other vp3G. I get confused after I complete the step "select wireless tab then add new." The new wireless network shows unavailable on my device" I think I'm unsure how to configure the connection on the PC side. I'm unable to get the wireless configurator to allow me to input a specific IP address. I'm using Windows XP Pro. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OK, I have been resisting, but why would you do this.
If you are using wifi to access the Internet, and the phone and PC both have wifi (in order to use wifi sharing), why not just access the wifi directly from the PC? Sorry to be thick, but I don't see why you would want this?

THANK YOU
I have tried this out and it apprears to work pretty well- thank you so much, I had hoped this would be figured out. i had the idea to do this but not the technical know how.
This is awesome
but you know what would be also interesting?
to be able to share the wifi connection over Bluetooth or usb instead of the cellular.
Basically using the phone as a wifi adapter.
What say you?
titan 6800
Has any one gotten this to work with the 6800? The registry key for bluetooth is different.
Thanks

Actually, it came from this site - we've been discussing it for days in the Development and Hacking forum! It was in this post by Fluxist who'd discovered it in the first place, and the other sites have been following suit... we're working on a more elegant way to do it now. And you directly quoted his post!
I'm going to be trying to write a full-on NAT router for it I think, although we're seeing if we can do a basic version for now.
man, i cannot belive this..
that is amazing

I was thinking the same thing. I frequently stay in foreign hotels in which are "unwired." I'd love to use my phone as the registered device when buying wifi so that I could make VOIP calls and check my e-mails on ground and tether it to my notebook back in the roam. In Dubai, you can get hooked for $30 a day for wifi.

Heh, it's cool dude - PPCGeeks got it from us - but check your research ;-) No point having duplicate threads.
Has anyone gotten either the 6.0 or 6.1 RDP client working on their Excalibur? I've tried both clients. The 6.0 I wasn't getting a mouse cursor and the format was all wrong. The 6.1 client was much better except that I can not use the keyboard.
I'm open to an alternative to MS RDP if you have gotten something else working both keyboard and mouse.

I use VNC for remote desktop with MochaVNC and TightVNC server no need for fake cursor etc, works straight away.

zaDesktop by zaTelnet works just fine everytime I've used it, even on EDGE.

Thanks for the help. I tried the VNC and zaDesktop solutions both worked. In the end I was a little happier with the zaDesktop.
Thanks again.
Some help pls
Found this for zadesktop
""zaDesktop is a Windows Remote Desktop (Terminal Server) client, very simple and easy to use. Just enter the desired IP address, choose the operating system and login with your username and password.""
Where would I enter the username and password, and how would I know the IP? Where am I to configure these settings first? I did not see a desktop client at the zadesktop site. What am I missing? Could someone guide me please?

you use any standard VNC server software such as RealVNC Server. install that on the host computer...install whatever client you prefer on the phone.
configure the server software (this is where you set a username/pass)
the ip of the host machine..if you are on a local network, it will be the local IP of that machine (in windows go to start > run and type cmd ...in the command prompt type in ipconfig .....that will show your local ip).
if you are trying to connect from outside of the local network you would need to configure port forwarding on your router to forward port 5900 to the local IP of the host machine. you would then connect to the public IP of your router which will route you to the host IP you set in your port forwarding
Thanks for pointing me to zadesktop. This was one of the applications I've been waiting for. It works great! Now all I want is a built-in answering machine app.

hi,
i would like to connect to a remote session configured with aspecific remote desktop port.
with the default rdp client i am unable to connect.
do you known another rdp client for that please?
thank you
have you tried specifying the host as hostort?
Yes I have tried to specify the port like x.x.x.x:3391 (3391 is my remote desktop port)
With my Windows XP Computer, I can connect to this remote port.
The problem is really with the RDP client in Windows Mobile I think
Thanks

I have tried to change the default port through the registry with the application provided in your link but the problem remains :-/
Perhaps it is a restriction from my provider ?
Does someone already manage to connect to a specific remote desktop port ?

Hmmm
try a network sniffer either end
http://www.cam.com/vxsniffer.html - 30 day trial on your hd
and
http://www.ethereal.com/download.html - on your pc
checking the outgoing packets and incomming packets
it could be a firewall issue, so check the port you chose does actually get through
otherwise yes maybe you provider

Hi
I wonder if someone used the Remote Desktop software that comes with the Mobile TP2.
I would like to know how to configure with my pc, I tried putting the ip and the domain of the network and says the computer name or IP is wrong or failed network connection.
Please a little help
Thanks
I tried with the usb cable connected to the pc and give me "the problem of computer error or wrong ip or network connect problem", and I tried connecting to the wirless router and keep trying to connect but in the end appears "the remote computer is not configured or has been reached the maximum number of connections, or network connect problem".
All help is welcome
Thanks

It works fine for me Vista & XP, Spain to Ireland. First make sure that the PC is set up correctly to allow RDP by trying to connect PC to PC, if that doesn't work it's the PC that is the problem.
I use Xp Pro, so its ok!
Hummm gonna try pc to pc and see if it works!

1. It doesnt work if you have NO password for Xp login, so you have to set a password.
2. Enable the Remote acces option
3. Open port 3389
4. Disable Firewall
