Terminal Services via Wifi on XDAIIs

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:

remote access to pc

is there a app for android that i can use to access files on my pc - pictures and video for example, through wifi or the data plan on the phone, and if so, can it be done while pc is turned off? (i.e. when im at work can i then acess files on the pc?)
Thanks

If you set up Dropbox correctly then yes. Otherwise you'd need your PC on to access it remotely.

if you turn your pc off then drop box is your best bet. if you leave it then you can install an ftp or vnc server on the pc and use an ftp or vnc client on the phone. i use ftp to transfer thing top my phone from pc over wifi a lot. android vnc is good

Download from market teamviewer ,for me is the best choice.

I use ConnectBot to connect to my desktop at home; course, the computer has to be turned on first but that's easy too - wake-on-lan on the computer, activated through the home router admin page.
This is fine for geeky Linux connections as it's over SSH...

Hiya,
Ubuntu Forums
That's the instructions I followed to enable WoL for my computer; I've got a Draytek router at home and this has a WoL feature that can send the relevant packets to the computer inside the network.
Draytek Router FAQ
However, if you don't have this function on your router, you could always use an app on your phone to do it:
Wol Wake on Lan Wan (Android Market)
...course, you might need to configure your router to forward on the relevant port for this to work...

Is it possible adb to control androids built in firewall on and data service end

Is it possible to use adb to control androids built in firewall on and data service end so that i can use vnc to remote access a PC that is using USB tethering as it's sole method of internet access?
Anyone know of an app that will let me do it?
She's on stock evo, but I can root if need be...
Hi, I have a female employee who because of budget is temporarily
using pdanet as her online internet method.
I normally trouble shoot by using vnc server on laptop and home pc
using realvnc on windows 7 and windows vista.
I can not access her laptop.
We are on sprint....
Thinking it might be a firewall issue, as she had installed it without
me (pdanet) I then setup up my windows vista home pro by:
1) Turning off laptop wireless card.
2) Connecting to internet and also starting smsagent on laptop
3) Verified internet access
4) Got ip address via ipchicken.com
5) Remoted into my office computer via laptop using pdanet using realvnc. Yes outgoing works which to me indicates that I am sending out on ports
6) copied ip address into my realvnc viewer and attempted to connect to laptop (as listed in step 2) yes I've done this before with other ip address and have completed 27 hops through 3 different continents and took back of the original computer, which gives you the infinity loop. So it’s not a realvnc issue.
7) Yes of course I rebooted and turned off firewall on laptop.....
8) To summarize I can initiate a realvnc session to a local time
warner and control that computer, I am however not able to initiate a
realvnc connection to a sprint session using outgoing time warner or
via pdanet to pdanet session using sprint...
8) Please READ ALOUD WHAT I HAVE DONE BEFORE YOU SEND A GENERIC EMAIL.
My question is does pdanet allow the routing of port numbers using
realvnc? Specifically port 5900 and 5800?
Is there a port that you would recommend for me to assign to have this work
I’m trying the java viewer but do not expect it to work either…
Answer so far from pdanet:
There is an automatic firewall on your phone and data service end. No incoming connections are allowed so no port forwarding support either.
My new question can I adb this portion and control it?

App for VNC server for CDMA Galaxy Nexus?

Does anyone know of a VNC app that - or any kind of "control my android phone from my PC" that:
1. is NOT Android Screencast
2. WORKS on the CDMA Galaxy Nexus
All the apps I've tried on the market thus far (e.g. droid vnc server) don't work - I think Verizon does something to prevent the IP address from being available to the app, so it reports the IP v6 MAC address and I can't connect to the phone.
Any solution (wired or wireless) would be fine, just one that works well (and is preferably free).

Hey, I'm in the same boat as you, i want to VNC onto my phone from my work PC as it makes my office life so much easier (did this on my iPhone for a couple of years)
I've managed to connect to my Galaxy Nexus GSM via LAN IP fine (IPV6 shows but used IPV4 IP instead from wireless settings) evem though i connected, the screen is blank and i can click but not type so looks like it needs some TLC on the developing side before it'll work :-(
Now for a remote IP you could try whatismyip.com or some simular site but i'm pretty sure most phon operators keep you on an internal network and route you out to the internegt, therefore meaning that you dont have any ports coming into your phone from the internet and therefore can't run any internet services, it has to be connection from your phone to a server not from PC/server on internet to your phone on internet.
I know however that back about 8 years ago i did get a windows mobile http server working, but think it's all changed since then..
Only exception to this would be if your phone was on wifi as you could setup a port forward from the router.
Maybe if TeamViewer made a version which allowed control of the phone, then you'd be able to do what you need.
Regards
Liam

Our VNC Server, VMLite VNC Server, works just find on Galaxy Nexus.
You can use USB connection, or reverse connection to connect if your phone's ip is blocked. i.e., you run tight vnc viwer in listening mode, you run the vnc server on the phone in reverse mode, so the vnc server will connect to the viewer.
Our app actually works w/o rooting.

The new teamviewer client will be your answer... just wait till its ported correctly to your rom

Are you sure? I thought team viewer is to view PC from android phones, instead of viewing phones from PC, i.e., different direction.

Tethering on Mobilicity - same or different ip address?

I have a question regarding tethering via wifi on my T989D.
I am using the Juggernaut v5.0 on my Telus T989D. It has wifi-sharing app built in. When I use this application to share my mobile internet with my PC, I get two different ip addresses. For example, use my PC's browser, I find my PC's ip address is 123.123.123.57, however my phone's IP address is 123.123.123.101. So my phone and my pc have different ip addresses.
Strange enough, my Samsung Vibrant (T959 from TMobile), is different. I use wifi tethering for root user app, and I find my PC and my phone (T959) share the same ip address.
Why they are different on my T989D?
The problem I am having right now is, tethering via T989D's built-in function is slow. Sometimes connection drops. However the tethering via my T959 is very reliable and fast.
Is there a way to disable built-in tethering on T989D and use the tethering for root user app on my T989D? I have tried to freeze the tether manager, but tethering for root user still has error in log and I cannot connect to it at all.
Please help, I want to fix my tethering problem with T989D.
thanks

think about it...
when you are WiFi tethering, your phone is acting as the router, and it provides its own IP to you
you don't get the Mobilicity IP on your laptop or whatever it's hooking up to your phone on WiFi

Sorry I don't get it.
Why my T989D and T959 act differently?

Basically there are two ways of tethering your phone to your PC, (to allow the PC to access the internet through your phone's data connection). The first way is connect PC to the phone, and then to configure your PC to see the phone as the network adapter. This is the method used when you configure USB tethering and you connect the PC to the phone with a USB cable. In that case there will only be 1 IP address assigned, because the PC is using the phone as the network adapter. (Imagine the phone is just an ethernet adapter for the PC)
The second way is to connect your phone to your PC and then to configure the PC to access the phone as if it were a Wireless Access Point (WAP). This is the method used when you use Wi-Fi sharing, (called Portable Hotspot). It's called sharing because the phone can share access to its data connection through its Wi-Fi hardware, for up to 8 different PCs simultaneously. In order to do this the phone has to route data requests correctly between the connected computers. It does this by assigning itself 1 IP address, and then assigning each PC that's connected to it, a different IP address. This is similar to setting up a wireless router at home to share a single internet connection between multiple PCs.
Usually USB tethering results in 1 IP address for both phone (network adapter) and PC, and Wi-Fi sharing/tethering results in 1 IP address for the phone and another IP address for each connected PC. However, I suppose it's possible to use different Wi-Fi tethering software that connects the PC to the phone via Wi-Fi, using only 1 IP address for both phone and PC, like the USB tether method. This would mean you couldn't share the connection, but it may work faster, since the phone wouldn't need to do any routing.
If the android-wifi-tether app is what you refer to as "wifi tethering for root user app", it's worth it to see if it works on the T989. (I'd be curious if it works too). However, if you're using Juggernaut 5.0, you should be able to install android-wifi-tether, and it should work. You shouldn't actually have a Tethering manager app in your list of apps, I don't and I'm using 5.0. If you do, and freezing Tethering manager doesn't allow this app to work, then I would try freezing both the Wi-Fi sharing app and the Wi-Fi sharing manager app as well. If it still doesn't work I'd be tempted to reflash the Juggernaut 5.0 ROM, and then install the android-wifi-tether app again, and see if it works.
Good Luck..

Thanks Jasnn, this really helped and I am now clear.
Yes, the application I am referring to was android-wifi-tether. It works flawlessly
on T959D. it is very slow on my T989D with Juggernaut 5.0/Telus modem.
If I reboot the phone and start tethering using android-wifi-tether, the application starts, but there is one error in log:
Setting ad-hoc mode: failed.
IP address are still different. My pc and phone has two different ipaddress.
I'd like to have the same ipaddress, also one thing bugs me is, the internet connection is not stable, the internet goes on and off. Lots of t989/D users have experienced this problem, there is no cure yet.
thanks
