Remote Desktop Mobile vs. Vista SP2

Hi Devs,
since the upgrade to Vista SP 2 I am not able to access my PC any more via remote desktop mobile.
Accessing it via my notebook works well both from LAN and WAN side.
But as soon as I try to access it via Remote Desktop Mobile on my touch HD or my TG01 I receive a connetion error and have no idea why.
I would be very happy if you could help me to find a solution for that due to I really like to boot my PC from anywhere in the world an access my sweet home desktop.
Thanks and with best Regards

die_Leuchte,
you figure this out yet? I finally upgraded to sp2(vista home pre) and I ran into the same thing. Got it working again on my xp laptop but dont really want to fire up wifi router to connect through rdp. It's driving me nuts, MS making things better once again!
Can anyone help bring rdp back to life after sp2?

I believe you have to change a system setting on the Vista PC to allow previous versions of RDP to connect. Don't remember where the setting is, but I'm pretty sure that is what it is.
Also Home versions do not support RDP hosting. Only Pro or business or higher.

Thanks Hannigan, I figured the same as well. FYI RDP does work on Vista home with a small hack, but not since sp2. There is an sp2 hack but it only allows my laptop(winXP) to connect and not my mobile. I need to find the setting on the vista pc which tells it to ignore the rdp version connecting to it. If someone could post this it would really help!!!

ok what I figured out so far is, that you need to configure the rdp host to allow clients which does not have Network Level Authenticationnetwork to connect as well. Due to I have Home Premuim with a rdp hack I do not have the menu to enable cientas without nla to connect and I did not find another solution so far (for example a reg key).

i found some info on the registry keys but I don't think I can just plug them in and get it working. I'll keep trying and post anything I find.

If you need to configure it to allow lower versions to connect, it's here.

Thats exactly what is missing in Vista home premium
And thats why we search for another solution to allow any kind of clients to connect.

Remote desktop client

Hello guys,
i'm looking for a decent RDP client.
I have tried the WM6 RDP from finster869 but i can't connect to any server.
I have tried also the ms_rdp_v6.5.cab downloaded somewhere in this forum: this one works but once switched to full screen i loose the keyboard and i can't digit anything.
I don't understand why Toshiba has not delivered a such important app

It's ridiculous, I've tried finster but it just doesn't work. The only one that works for me is MochaVnc as the viewer on my phone and I use ultraVnc on my desktop as the server, but I think at the moment, I've only been able to get it running over wifi. If someone manages over 3G, please please let me know.
But I haven't got a clue why finster doesn't work. Wanted to try it out .

If I'm not wrong, This kind of software only works in a intranet , so only WIFI is available as wireless connection (no 3G possibility)
I use VNC server (on PC as Mobile). If any interested I can link the apps.

the ms_rdp_v6.5.cab works on 3G too. The problem is that full screen mode hides the keyboard.

Any steps to get it working?
It works on 3G to? Compared to what other software do you mean? I've tried the microsoft one and the finster, but just never connects, even in wifi mode. I find it completely useless. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
I'm going to holiday in a few days so would love to get this working on 3G

I have tried the free RDP client zaDesktop 0.98b: same problem of Microsoft RDP.
It connects perfectly to the servers using the 3G/HSPA connection but when the application goes full-screen, the keyboard icon goes away.

have you tried Remote Touch? It is very simple ... you can try it with wlan very quick ... it just takes 5 minutes to download, installing and testing. If you want to control your PC via 3G you just need an no-ip Account for an DNS address.

I cannot install 3rd party unauthorized services on the business servers. RDP is the official method to remote access the servers.
I have choose a Windows mobile device because of this; i could not image that RDP on TG01 was such a pain.
I can't correctly access a Microsoft server platform with a Microsoft OS phone and a Microsoft application and probabily i will have to use 3rd party software to resolve the problem. In fact, i am going to try RDM+: a commercial software, availiable for WM and many other platforms included Android and iphone.
What a big defeat for Microsoft (and Toshiba too).

RDP worked for me
For me RDP works without any problem. I use Nokser's newest build from 30.05.2010. I think it is a Version of Finster pre-installed.

Here you are: VNC® Server Free Edition 4.1 for Windows
The ZIP is the VCN server,to be installed in your PC
The cab is the VCN viewer, to be installed in your TG01
On viewer, you have to write the IP and port in this way (example): Server: 192.168.1.11:5901

[Q] Remote Desktop to Android

I am a Windows user and i use Remote desktop alot. I have Remote desktop client on my Vibrant and connect to my Windows desktop. but i was wondering if there is an app to connect to android desktop remotely. i know you can connect to linux desktop using VNC. So Linux do support remote desktop is that possible on Android?

This looks like it should suit your needs...
http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.onaips.vnc

That one appears to need root, there is logmein and its ignition for android software (logmein has a free package but the ignition is not free though) or you can try wyse, which works on remote desktop and it isnt free either. Not sure if there are other free ones that does NOT require rooting though.

He wants to remote TO the phone, not from it (the phone as the server, not the client).
As far as I'm aware, any app that does this will need root privileges in order to capture the screen.

Thank you. I tried driod VNC and its really slow. but the good part is the source is available... maybe i will take a look at the it and see if i can do something about it.
Logmein is not free its $30...

Yes. mine is rooted and even unlocked. so i am ready for anything new...

My bad, didn't read the entire post properly

Android Screencast
Android Screencast works pretty well. A bit choppy, but it works. It's in java, so it should work on any OS.

[GUIDE] RemoteApps Desktop Apps

Ok! I keep hoping I'll see some neat way to get my desktop apps on my Surface on here! However, I found a pretty cool solution myself!
First I set up remote desktop with my windows 7 PC and my surface. That was cool. It felt clunky and slow. However, I looked up how to do RemoteApps. I thought it looked complicated but worth it. While stumbling around I found a utility that basically sets it up for you!
1. First setup remote desktop access and free the port for remote desktop. I will not describe it here.
2. I used this utility! Kim Knight's remoteapp tool. Google it. XDA won't let me post a link cause I've never posted before. I just wanted to share my findings.
3. I now can use Utorrent, Photoshop and even my silly Pidgin! Eventually I'm going to use Maya! It works great with hardly any lag! The only lag I get is when I'm saving to my tablet vs the remote computer. I haven't been able to get a browser to work yet but I have invested that much time into it. I'm sure other people will figure it out. Whats cool is Utorrent will save to my tablet. Yah download speeds are slower but expected!

Nice find

This is indeed a great find! I've played with RemoteApps before on the server editions of Windows, but it's quite tricky to get it to work with one server and not a huge enterprise! Being able to use it in this way is just great. Plus we can probably work out an XML file that will populate the apps into the RemoteApp control panel / metro RDP client automatically.
However, I'm having a problem with this on Win 8 (as a host). It seems to all setup ok, but upon connecting (from Win8 or Surface RT) after credentials, cert etc are accepted the RDP client just vanishes. I see Kim Knight's page says it works with Win 8 CP - has anyone tested it with Win 8 RTM? If MS have broken this with Win8 I think I'll have to setup a Win7 box/VM just for this purpose!

I had issues getting it working on Windows 7 pro at work, so i swapped up to Enterprise and it worked great. I haven't tested it at home yet off my system. I haven't used this but for my home fileserver, but you can take it a step further and patch RDP to work for multiple concurrent connections.
http://www.redmondpie.com/remote-de...-easy-way-with-this-native-windows-rdp-patch/

RemoteApp Tool requires:
•
Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5
•
Remote Desktop 7 enabled on host
•
Remote Desktop 7 client on client
•
Windows 7 Enterprise or Ultimate (or Vista Pro or XPproSP3 - untested)

With concurrent connections, can you remote app and use desktop still with same login?
Edit: Tried it myself and it works. So now I can remote app in while I'm still logged in my desktop and it won't boot me off, allowing me to use them simultaneously with the same login.

I can confirm this works with Windows 8 Enterprise, but not Pro. There is, of course, no Ultimate. This is all a bit of a shame as I can't use RemoteApp on my primary home PC, which also runs Media Centre (which can't be added into W8 Enterprise).

Mine keeps booting me off... Asks me to sign out the other user before logging in. Any tips on how you were able to achieve that?

Did you install the concurrent RDP patch?
I installed it on Windows 7 Ultimate and I can use remote apps on my Surface and use desktop at the same time.

Brilliant. Worked like a charm. No idea how, without a server running the remote app role, but it does.

RemoteApp is just a remote desktop connection to a specific application, it's been around since Windows XP SP3. It's also how XP mode in Windows 7 does its magic.

I know what remote desktop is! But remoteapp - seamless windowed app on client - is pretty impressive.

The remote app program does work under Windows 8, but you need to run it as administrator otherwise it's crashtastic.
After that it works perfectly.
One other thing is that you should apply the patch to allow multiple co-current remote desktop sessions to work on your machine, here's the patch... http://www.tenniswood.co.uk/technol...current-remote-desktop-sessions-in-windows-8/

That's not legal.

remote desktop help
Hey all, if anyone can help me get remote desktop working on my surface it would be greatly appreciated. If a developer out there could set up an app to get this done easier, could be a moneymaker, I know id pay for it.
After scouring youtube, and the web, I found a lot of different walkthroughs on how to set up a home pc as a remote server. Unfortunately, I really don't know what im doing and cant figure out why it isn't working. Im running WinXP Pro SP3 on a few year old laptop (I bought the thing during the Vista debacle, and down graded to xp for software reasons - I am an architect and needed my AutoCAD and various graphic intensive programs)
These are the steps that I have tried, all to no avail
- I go to control panel, System, Remote, turn on Remote Desktop.
- open Linksys router configuration, and try to set up Port Forwarding
- this is where it really gets confusing for me, and I don't think that I am doing it correct. I know I need to open the port, I go to Applications and Gaming, and enter RDP, Im not sure of the port number, and what else to do here
- cmd, ipconfig - I enter all information - ip address, DNS, Gateway, etc?
I then found out that in order to really get this working, I needed a static IP address - Im not sure how to do this, but I found a couple posts, and a youtube video suggesting using DynDNS to get this working as a host. I signed up, and am still not able to connect.
Any help would be appreciated - Im not great with this stuff.....I never really played with networking, before....Please help me get my Surface working. Its possible im not entering the address correctly in the Surface Remote Desktop App.
Thank You!!

If the surface is on your home wifi, it should be able to rdp (remote desktop) to the XP system no problem.
Only need the router ip mapping / translation if using the Surface outside the house on another Internet connection

Remote Desktop app recommendation?

Hey guys, I'm looking for recommendations for a remote desktop app to interact with a windows 7 computer, currently I use realvnc or the MS rdp app however what I need is something that will allow me to go full screen and use finger clicks direct on the screen not a virtual mouse like the two apps I currently use.
Basically I have a piece of touch ready software and I want to use it off my galaxy tablet.
Heres what I need:
It must do fullscreen
It must be direct touch
and finally it must work without an internet connection
Thanks in advance
Tim

Teamviewer?
It is still not direct touch, but I find it much easier to use than realvnc in those regards. I use it on a tablet with a bluetooth keyboard and it's fantastic

Yeah I actually use that already on my computer however it needs to be direct touch, I also forgot to say that it needs to work on a LAN without an internet connection!

A friend at work says he used to use the bVNC app. It looks like it'll connect to your already setup realvnc server, and it was the only one he found that the touch input seemed to make sense. He said he switched to VLC players built in video streaming for what he was using it for though.

i m using only teamviewer and rdp
