Or PcAnywhere by Symantec

Terminal Service Client found on your PDA.
Need to be running 2000 or XP Pro on your desktop. Firewall needs to be open, (if the office allows you to use it they have a *MINOR* security Issue to say the least).

if your office is totally unsecured, there's also vncviewer for the pocketpc out there. i use that for my home computer which only has a router for protection

well if the xda connect to the network using activesync then the security of the network dont have anything to do with it
the connection dont use the nic and such but the usb or bluetooth
and the way it's routed the rest of the network cant see if the internet ip's being access'd from the pc you sync with or the pocketpc you sync with

The best remote soft - VNC client for PPC
I attache this klient - it's only 72k
It's good enought - U must use only IP remote machine and have VNC server (or service ) installed on PC.
For PC you can have from this side http://www.realvnc.com/

Problem with wm6 and Remote Desktop

When I startup the remote desktop application and try to connect to a server, I get an error message if I haven't already connected to the internet with another application. I've tried installing the wm6 terminal services client from several different downloads, but I haven't found one that will cause my 8525 to connect to the internet when you run it. The error message that shows up is this:
Connection status
Cannot connect. Likely reasons are:
1. Specified computer name or ip does not exist
2. A network error occurred while establishing the connection.
If I startup IE and browse to a website, it will work fine. Anyone know what I need to do to make the wm6 TS client initiate the internet connection?

It uses the "Programs that automatically connect to a private network should connect using:" setting in Settings -> Connections -> Connections -> Advanced -> Select Networks. You can set it to the preferred internet connection, and that should make it trigger on attempting to connect with remote desktop.

I changed the private network settings to media net, but it still won't trigger a connection. I also tried setting it to isp, but that didn't work either. Any other suggestions? I can't be the only one with this problem.

I'm having the same issue.

From what I've read, this is about as good as it gets in wm6 unless microsoft decidss to release the terminal services client as a stand alone install for wm6. They changed the licensing in wm6. In wm5, the rdp client was a required piece. In wm6, it's an optional licensed addon. That means that unless our wireless phone provider is willing to pay to license the rdp client for our devices, it isn't officially available for them and definitely not supported. Unfortunately, the new AT&T didn't bother to mention that they opted out of the rdp client for wm6 on the 8525 in their upgrade notes. It's a shame really. I won't be buying another windows mobile powered device until it comes with the rdp client again or microsoft decides to stop being stupid and just release a free download for it like they do for all their other platforms. For now, I just hope that logmein continues to remane free and available. Technically, it's a far better solution for our devices than rdp anyway.

wtf...well anyways the client is around on the forums, so why worry about MS, and it has nothing to do with that, set your data connection to always on, and you wont have to initiate the connection with IE, Resco FTP, and the old aim client are the same way..
Built most of my site from behind the wm6 client, seems to work fine here.

RDP does not work with VPN
I have an 8525 with WM6.0. I am able to connect to the VPN through GPRS. However I am unable to use RDP. I have installed Remote Desktop Mobile but it will not connect to my terminal server running window server 2k. Does any one have any ideas?

Working IPSec VPN in WM6.1

Does anyone have a working IPSec VPN on Windows Mobile 6.1? It seems that a lot of things in this seem to be broken and I'm trying to figure out what is broken.

*bump* Still trying to find out if anyone has successfully used the IPSec VPN capability of any build of WM6.1....

hi friend.
i only use the PPTP vpn connection with WM6.1 to connect terminal server.
it is under
setting -- > manage existing connections --> VPN
it have a option of PPTP or IPsec/L2TP.

soon i will change the terminal server to IPsec connection.
will let you know the answer.

I've installed it on MRH 5.0.2 Diamond Stable | UC | Build 19900 but it does not appear to work. Nothing in the control panel and no way to configure it. Is there any documentation available as it's certaily someting I would like to use!

Bluefire VPN
Hi CRCinAU,
Not sure if this is related to your question but....
My company uses Bluefire VPN software to create a secure VPN tunnel. I've tried Bluefire on your WM6.1 10.3 and it does create a secure VPN tunnel but for some reason, I can't download my company email even though I can ping my company's mail server just fine. Very weird and frustrating...
However, using my Dell X51v running Lenny's WM6.1 Beta 5, I have no problems with Bluefire and retrieving company email.
Bluefire is not freeware but I believe you can contact the company for a demo version for you to use for 30 days....
Regards to all.

Problems with certificates & proxy

Hi,
I have been fighting with my Desire the last days to connect to my company network and e-mail without any success.
There are serious issues with Android wrt handling certificates and proxies.
For the moment I still haven't found anything which will allow me to access the internet from work via WiFi through a proxy. Did any one manage to do this with success ?
Apparently it is possible to use a proxy with Android 1.5 and 1.6 but only for browsing, not for other services, but this doesn't work with the Desire ;-)
Regarding certificates, Android doesn't support .p7b or .pcs certificates, so I was afraid I wouldn't be able to connect at all to the company WiFi. To my surprise when I tried to connect by entering MSCHAP it actually worked, so this is worth a try if you have issues with certificates to connect to WiFi.
Another problem of the certificates is that I need a certificate to connect via SSL to my e-mail server. Unfortunately Android doesn't support installation of .p7b or .pcs certificates, so I don't manage to connect. Did anyone encounter a solution for this problem ?
In global I am really surprised by the lack of support for standard functionality like certificates and proxy in Android. All my colleagues using Iphone have no issues at all with this
Kind regards

VPN issues on Rooted EVO.. help!

I'm not certain if this is a kernel, ROM or software issue. I am running Fresh ROM 1.0.1 with the Netarchy 3.7.5 kernel, I have enabled the JIT compiler, and I have purchased the Xtralogic Remote Desktop Client version 1.14.0 and also use ES File Explorer for FTP/Samba.
I am able to authenticate and connect to our corporate VPN server. Once connected, I AM able to ping both from within the network to my device, and from adb-shell on my device to devices on the network. DNS resolution is working as expected over the VPN; search domains are setup properly.
However, upon establishing a connection (UDP or TCP) to any device on the remote network, my VPN connection dies (server side -- the android client still reads as connected). No bytes are received from the client anymore (per the corporate vpn software). I've tried this with RDP (UDP), SMB (UDP) and FTP (TCP). All three had the same result; upon initiating the socket, the VPN connection comes to a halt.
I know this worked when I was stock rooted.. and have only tried it again recently for a business trip in which RDP access to some remote servers would be a great big help. My changes are listed above: Fresh Rom 1.0.1, Netarchy 3.7.5 kernel, JIT enabled.
LogCat provides plenty of output for the VPN connection, but there is NOTHING logged when the "disconnect" occurs.
Any ideas?!

I received a response from the software vendor:
I received other reports about problem with VPN on Android. Unfortunately I don't have any solution to this problem. It is not RDP client specific, it looks like it is triggered by certain amount of network traffic. You will get the same result if you try to browse Internet on the phone when connect over VPN.

So, I ask if anyone can confirm or deny from their own device?
