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.

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

It's quite simple.
Right click on My Computer, click Properties
Click the Remote tab.
Check the box "Allow users to connect remotely to this computer"
Hit OK.
On your router you will forward TCP port 3389 to your machine's internal address.
That's it. Put in your IP for dyndns address in to the RDP application and you'll have remote control.
The RDP app is greatly improved since WM5 and is actually quite use-able now. I have used it on several occasions on the road when I client called me wanting something checked or changed on their server.

tnx for the quick reply
got it working
btw, do you know how can i set it up for SSH?

Remote Desktop

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

Ill second this but i use UltraVNC. Works perfect, just a bit slow over 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.

Remote Desktop Mobile

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

Does your phone connect to the internet?
does your computer connect to the internet with public ip address?

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!
Tnks for help^^

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

Yes, without password it doesnt work and firewall blocks remote access

Please help me setup Remote Desktop when using 3G network

Hi!
I was able to do Remote Desktop by connecting with my tilt 2 to my local Network so I used my Desktops address (192.168.1.4) as computer name and I was able to connect with the Tilt2.
Now, I am trying to figure out how to do the same but when I am not home thus connected to my network.
I tried using my REAL IP address but it was not able to connect to it.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate any my tilt 2 has a stock 6.5
Thanks

You'll need to set up port forwarding on your router. Looks like this site has a bunch of guides to do so. You need to set it up to forward port 3389 to your desktop address (looks like 192.168.1.4) and you should be good to go, no specific config necessary on your tp2.
Edit: As a side note for security's sake only allow non-administrator accounts to remotely connect and make sure you use strong passwords!

That worked out great...thanks mate!

Yeah thanks Toleraen! I was just now finally getting around to check out the remote desktop client on both my phones, and was looking for exactly that

Glad I could help

Pretty cool to do this indeed...any other software you consider better than this to remote in to my PC?

I hear VNC get recommended a lot, but I haven't had a chance to check it out yet (I'll do that once I've tried remote desktop). I've attached the cab for it, but I can't find any threads on it's use, you'll have to dig that up yourself

I must have tried a million different settings over several hours and never was able to connect via 3G or even locally when hooked in through wifi. I used to be able to do this with my Treo 750 with little hassle. I have the port forwarding set up on my Linksys WCG200 router. I have even tried turning all firewalls and encryption off. No joy. Anyone else have a Windows XP setup with a Linksys router that has had success with a Tilt 2 stock ROM? Note: I do not have a static IP. Has anyone successfully done this with a dynamic IP?

I am doing it to Windows 7 with a dynamic IP...I just make sure I got the one for the day(week) before living home if I want to remote in from work.

I use Hamachi to create a VPN connection and then remote into my PC that way, leave hamachi running on my desktop and then just run the mobile version on my phone when I want to remote in, that way there are no open port security issues to worry about and the VPN IP address never changes.

Is it any slower or faster than Remote Desktop?

Sweet! I had no idea hamachi had a mobile client now!!

I use "Remote Touch Server" to remotely access my computer. The main reason i use it is because it keeps your computer on while you are accessing it. I use it for a handheld monitor for powerpoint presentations. That way I can see what the computer is doing, and tap the screen to advance to the next slide
