Why does everyone make a pocketpc vnc client and not a vnc server?

Ok...I run linux and I would like to be able to remote control my pocketpc similar to how the my mobiler software allows people running windows using activesync. Usually this would not be a problem because vnc is free and runs on everything. I've found 15 different free vnc CLIENTS for the pocketpc but the only servers I've found is a pay one and one that is so old I think it's for ce 2002.
What am I missing?

What you're missing: google
http://www.pocketvnc.com/projects/pocketvnc/index.php 10€, not a bad price for a product some spent time making
Freeware

You listed the two I mentioned..good job. Pocketvncserv would not connect with my vncviewer..hence my post.

did you ever find a solution to this?

Try this?
Ever try a nifty little application called "Mobiler"? It displays your wizard's screen on your PC. Full control, etc. Basically does what a VNC server would, and more.

I use a program called SOTI Pocket Controller, but it only works in windows, I need a way to control my Pocket PCs from Linux...

I've tried the pocketvncsvr package, and the server seems to work - but I too cannot connect to the server from my client.
I've tried using ultra, tight and real-vnc specified raw encoding and any number of colour combinations without luck.
The mobiler package worked well enough - but windows only, and my TP2 seems to kill wifi when I use activesync; so its no good for my purpose.
Can anyone share their connection setting and client version that is known to work?
cheers,
Bjorn

My Mobiler works in Linux under wine over wifi with "Connect IP"
Dunno about a way over USB.

PocketVNC: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pocketvnc/. Both server and client included. Haven't tried it though so I don't know if it works.

I might have tried that one. I have tried a few that didn't work. I can't remember if that's one of them...

Second Life working on Windows Mobile

Official client from http://www.vollee.com/secondlife
If you have trouble downloading, choose following version. I have removed AT&T signature (the client is in Java). Works on HTC Kaiser (non AT&T). You have to switch to landscape to play.
http://rapidshare.com/files/120027655/second_life_wm.rar

Tried it on an ETEN X800 and get the message "We cannot authenticate your player".
Also it doesn't strech to 640x480 so only part of the screen is shown.

You have to fill out their form to get yours TOKEN and OUSN (phone number). Then you can replace these parameters in JAD.

sorry to bump this thread but the rapidshare version does not work. it keeps saying cannot connect

If you try to visit the manufacturer's website you will notice that Vollee does not exist anymore.
The software was not an SL client, but actually a terminal-software. The actuall SL-Client was running at Vollee's server and it would just stream the image to your PDA, receiving in return your inputs.
This is regarded as being the future of gaming - you carry a small client, while the game itself is hosted and rendered at the manufacturer.
The obvious side effect is that you need to pay for the service and there is practically no way around that.
You can try to setup something similar, though, by installing SL on your home PC, together with a VNC server. You need to adjust the screensize proeprly and then you access your PC through a PocketPC version of VNC...

out of all the vnc clients and servers ive tried the best for windows mobile to use for secondlife would be the remote desktop however on a lot of versions of windows it wont work unless you have a professional version of windows. and sound does work as well for it so u can hear voice but u will need a fast computer and phone for it to be an optimal experience

Remote Desktop only allows 16 bit color resolution, while Secondlife only starts if you are on 32 bit color resolution. Back then I did not find any way of getting around this, except using VNC instead.
Cheers,
vma

hey
help im new at this but i would love to play second life on my windows mobile phone can you explain how this would be done step by step?

Yes i would like to know how i can run 32-Bit for my remote desktop on my HTC HD2
From what i have read i have only seen posts that allow you to go too 24-bit on XP.
But i have not managed to get that working though. My remote desktop on my Mobile phone still only allows me to go to 16-bit which is just horrible looking and doesnt allow allot of things too work.
Maybe there is a alternative program that does allow 32-bit?
Or a way to get my windows standard remote desktop to go that high?
Hopefully you guys know a way to get this working!
Cheers

You can't use Windows Remote Desktop Connection (aka RDP).
You MUST use VNC.
Install a VNC Server like UltraVNC or TightVNC on your PC and a VNC client on youer Windows Mobile phone.
Let me tell you upfront: it sucks. Too much lag, constant crashes of VNC on the mobile phone, too small a screen and the lack of keyboard makes the experience a really bad one. Much better to use Messenger straight away.
Cheers,
vma

Please can someone upload the file again? the two link are not more available, I woul like try second life on my PDA, thank you

I really can't wait until stream gaming is improved, no longer would game development for mobile be entirely OS/hardware dependent.

I want only use chat of second life on my pda how can I download the software, please?

WM6 Remote Desktop Server over internet?

I'm looking for a remote desktop program that will allow remote login to a wm6 phone ie running a remote desktop server on the phone (not client). Basically I have 2 - wm 6 phones and I'd like to be be able to control one of them remotely either via my main phone or pc over the internet. I'll keep searching, but if anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be appreciated. I have read multiple articales about a Real VNC solution but their website yields nothing.
Thanks

This flavour of RealVNC works fine for me...
http://www.efon.cn/

what viewer do i need for this vnc server?

Yes what client do you use with that? Also how has it been working for you? Reliable, fast etc? Looks like very limited support and documentation for that project. I actually didn't realize the CE software can run on WM.

Ok so I figured it out (I feel kinda dumb asking what client to use). So I downloaded the real vnc viewer and got it working. The only thing I'd really like to do now is get some sort of dyndns type service going on the phone as restarting it changes the ip everytime.

[Q] Remote Desktop Client on WP7?

Hi,
Just started using a HTC Trophy but I cannot for the life of me find an RDP client in the marketplace or on the phone.
Surely its there somewhere?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

"PC Connector" seems to do this.
There will be more as apps finish going through the curation process.

That is what i worry, i cannot find remote desktop on the telco set...
so confirm the PC Connector is going to work like remote desktop???
PC Connector is a pay software? come with the box? or market place DL?

It will be hard to find one of these because Microsoft doesn't allow full networking access. Unless someone writes a remote desktop app that runs over web services (weird but probably possible), or Microsoft opens low-level APIs, then there won't be one. In either case it might take time.

It's in the Marketplace... $4.99, but has a free trial.

I installed the free trial but it seems RDP is not one of its features.

Just found this - choung . net / charlie (cant post urls yet)[/url] - which kinda offers remote apps over http, works well and will do for the mean time.
Hopefully see some official RDP support soon...

so this is from MS? or 3rd party? sorry, i don't have the phone right now so i cannot try.
but looks like it is for file download, Remote Desktop Client?

Live Mesh
Someone who has a windows phone (not me) should look into Windows Live Mesh. On the desktop, it allows remote connections to a computer that has it installed. On the website for Live Mesh, there's a picture of a little phone. Of course, it might be referring to just syncing files, but perhaps doing a remote desktop via Live Mesh on the phone is going to be possible?

I certainly hope that someone develops this; however I spoke with one of the develpers on the team at Microsoft and he confirmed that Microsoft has no plans to ship a RDP client.

Without socket support it's going to be a pain. You would have to pass everything through a http proxy. The Remote Desktop app on the market place does something like that with VNC. Hopefully the next WP7 update will bring official socket support.

Sorry...no. You can use the remote desktop function to get to PCs but not the phone.

Can someone clear this up, are we getting a RDC remote destop connection app for WP7 ???

No, it is currently not possible to create an App for Remote Desktop Connections in Windows Phone 7 as one would need the ability to access the Socket-APIs.
This might become available in future versions of the development tools.
What is a possible is to have a server somewhere that translates from the HTTP-Requests of the Phone to the RDP protocol acting as an intermediary. As far as I know there currently is no App that does this.
A homebrew software using a jailbroken phone should be possible as they have access to socket-communication.

just search remote desktop in marketplace, then you will find tada, a remote desktop client.
and its called *suprising* remote desktop. how hard can it be
I have it up and running, only it's a trial. software costs 15pounds

Thats a VNC client, not a remote desktop (RDP) client.

Can't you just use a web based remote desktop client using explorer on the phone? Like free version of logmein.com or paid app gotomypc.com
I haven't tried it yet but I am sure it works might be a pain to maneuver around but I am sure there is a version somewhere that fits a smart phone screen size...
At least it's something to use until the second update in February rumored to release socket support maybe don't quote me on it.

the fastmarket remote desktop.
The problem: I use Real VNC from server side with password encryption - always on.
This app does not offer any encryption. Hope this will change.
If you are running non-free version of RealVNC, please make sure encryption is turned off.

I asked on Microsoft's social site for Live Mesh and they said they (paraphrasing a quote) "Would consider looking into possibly maybe supporting Windows Phone 7 in the future". Translation "Dude, youre a genius! Lemme check."
Doesn't sound like it's on the horizon.

Logmein free and logmeinrescue do not work as they require activeX controls or something (sorry I'm not a dev so that may not be the correct term...Im a XDA troll.) I have tried...
Can't wait for Sync/Mesh but I seem to have jettisoned RDP for logemin services and that would be awesome to have working on the phone.

Best way to remote desktop

Just started looking into this, but what's the best way to remote desktop on android? I did it with my iPod and iPhone but since I'm sticking with my Nexus S I was looking for a better solution. Ideas?

there are VNC clients, and RPD clients for windows
i use them all the time to connect back to work servers, and home PCs

LogMeIn is what I use.

Xtralogic Remote Desktop Client is far and away the best one I've found on Android. It uses the RDP built into Windows, so you don't have to install anything on your PC.

I came here to say this exact same thing. Xtralogic Remote Desktop Client reigns supreme. I cannot live without it and is one of the main reasons why I can't leave Android. Using the screen as a touchpad is the best thing ever. You can zoom in and out, use multiple resolutions, etc.

If and when you decide on a remote desktop app. If you want to have a more secure system, you can use connectbot to tunnel your remote desktop connections through. if you have a ssh server, or a router w/ 3-rd party firmware at home.
