Remote Desktop Mobile + Win Vista Settings ? - General Questions and Answers

I am trying to connect my HTC 3G Phone to my laptop.
I changed the port number for Remote Desktop by using regedit and change the port number in RDP-Tcp.
I have changed the port number to 5000.
I rebooted the computer.
When I try the setting on my PDA and I am on my home network, I use the computer name (HyderpotterAcer:5000) I get can not connect message.
Which IP address Do you put ie IP address to the home wifi router or the ip address to the computer?
Thanks
Mark

I did a ping from my PDA to the laptop and that worked.

if you're behind a router you can't give the IP of the computer as it's a LAN IP. open the port on your router forwarded to the specific computer IP you want to connect to and try again.

It does not work and I think I did port Forwarding right.

how to connect my phone to laptop via wifi to surf internet?

hi greetings to all. I am new in this foum. I have bought a new smartphone and it brought me to this forum for support.
I have htc s710 with wm 6. Is is possible to access internet on the phone by connecting it to the laptop through wi-fi in adhoc mode? I tried connecting it, and connection was established, I was as well able to ping the phone from my laptop but i was unable to use internet. I want to use laptop as a wireless router.
in the laptop i have ethernet connection which brings internet to my home, and i have enabled ics in that. the wi-fi card has been assignd ip address 192.168.0.1, and mobile has ip assigned 192.168.0.2.
is it possible in this way?
If your notebook has a bluetooth module built in, establish a BT ActiveSync connection and your S710 will then use the computer's internet access automatically.
i dont hava BT in my laptop. I just have a external orinoco gold wi-fi card.
is it possible through that.
I've never tested it cause I use a WAP router. ICS worked crappy when I tried it.
Did you try using DHCP instead of setting a fixed IP on your S710? ICS offers DHCP services and IIRC depends on it. Also remember that you normally can't set a DNS server on WinMo. Does ICS offer its services on all network cards or don't you have to activate the card you want ICS to serve on in its settings?
Thanks for the response. I have not tried DHCP, let me see today if it works that way.
Hi, I searched this concern before cause I wanted to use wifi too in the office. I'm not sure where the thread that I read had been sucessfull but it did gave me the idea to set mine and get it working.
Basically I have LAN connection in the office, connected to my Dell Latitdue d600 and created ad hoc connection to my HTC Touch.
I opened network connections, and right click my lan connection, advance tab, and enable internet sharing using wireless connection, thats the only thing i did, after establishing the adhoc connection, IP address in Pc is the same, 192.168.0.1 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 hope you get it working. I dont have a smartphone to test it myself
Hi piper. my problem is fixed now. i connected the phone to the laptop at adhoc mode, applied static ip. then ran network setup wizard. after the setup was complete i changed the ip setings of the phone. i set the phone to acquire ip form dhcp server.

Well I have tried that on my windows xp machine. However, when you enable ICS then I think it will provide ip to connected devices via DHCP. I just enabled phone to acquire ip via DCHP by going to the phones, Connection manager -- > Settings --> WLAN Settings --> Connection status ---> Menu --> IP Address --> And select Use server - assigned IP address.
Step, first enable ICS in your laptop -- > apply ip address to your phone like 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0 and then connect your phone to your laptop in adhoc mode. Once the connection is established go to phone and change the ip address settings as given above ie. select server assigned ip address. i USED THIS MODE AS THERE WAS NO OPTION TO APPLY DNS IN THE PHONE.

Remote Desktop Problems

Can someone help? I am trying to do something that may not be possible. I am trying to set my HD2 up to remotely access my computer at the office which is running Windows XP Home Edition. My office is feed via Qwest on a Actiontec Modem and has a Trendnet Router plugged into that. My computer actually plugs into the Trendnet router. I have set the settings in the Trendnet (port 3389 -both, my computer IP on the network) and set up remote desktop on the HD2 (user, password, and my ip address from whatismyipaddress) It give me an error message everytime.
Am I on the wrong track or is there something I need to do to the Actiontec Modem?
HELP!!!!!!

Another wifi problem.

Hi everyboy, I have an Blue Angel with WM6.5.3 from sun_dream. I can't connect to my home wifi or any wifi. I configured my router like this:
DHCP off
Wirless all
WPA-PSK
TKIP
64bit
I can't connect even to open wifi accespoints(hotspots).
I start the wirelss manager, tap on wirelss on and after that the wireless network appears. I click connect and nothing happens. In the network manager the connectios is available, i click connect, it says connecting and than again it says available.(any hot sopt or the home network, for that at home i entered the mac into the router and have written the ip an dns to the phone wirelss card)
Pleas help, it is a great phone i like it but this is the only problem i have.
PS: I even commanded an bluetooth gps unit. Is there any way to change the hardware and install an "g" wireless card?
Shouldn't DHCP on your WiFi router be set to 'On' and also for the phone as well. It will select an IP address for your device, which will then pick it up.
Otherwise you will have to allocate an IP address on the router, and then set the phone to the same address. If they don't match it won't work
It's a lot easier to let DHCP do all the donkey work. In most public areas DHCP is used as it is a 'Start it and forget it' system.
I set dhcp off because i assign an ip adress to every pc manualy and even have an mac filter where again the ip is written. I set the same ip on the phone as i had written it in the router config.
I can't acces even public wireless spots. I have the problem that it says the connection is available and then it says connecting and instead of connected it says avaialble.

RDP Setup

I am not sure if its the right forum to ask this question, but knowing the smart ppl we have here i hope i am wrong!
I just downloaded Remote RDP Enterprise 3.2 and i am trying to setup so i can connect to my home pc. I am using a router model WGT624 netgear router. I tried the port forwarding (had to setup custom PF, because it wouldnt let me add 3389 as a port on the services which offers through the router) as it was suggested but i think i might be doing something wrong because it just wont connect at all.
my PF on my router looks something like this:
# Service Name Start Port End Port Server IP Address
1 RDP 3389 3389 192.168.X.X
And when i goto whatismyip.com i have a different IP address: 67.234.x.x
on the app on my phone which IP address do i connect through?
Anyone use the same app and has a netgear router and knows how to set it up? or any documentation on how to get this thing working and can share it would be extremely helpful, its for my work!
Thanx so much in advance
Hi iknight8. I don't have that app but I'll try and help.
You need to connect to the external IP address (67.234.x.x) when you are on the internet and the internal IP (192.168.X.X) when you are on your internal network.
A good troubleshooting step would be to try connecting to you PC on the internal address when you are connected to your wifi. This should work with any of the port forwarding you have setup so if it doesn't then then you know it is a proble with the setting on the pc itself. Remote desktop has to be enabled in the computer settings and allowed on any firewalls you are using.
i tried connecting both but i get a Socket is not connected message!
if u can use it and let me know of the setting to make it work would be nice
Thanx again
p.s. wen i am on internal wifi network, same as pc and i put that PF ip addess, i get a mesage "no route to host"...
Do you have allowed RDP connection on PC?
I downloaded the app and the first time I tried it on my wifi I got the same error as you, no route to host. The problem was that I didn't enable remote desktop on my PC. Once I set it to allow connections from computers running any version of remote desktop it worked straight away.
This is what I did.
1. In the app, press the menu button and add.
2. I put in the IP address of my pc and port 3389.
3. On my PC I disabled the windows firewall.
4. Also on my PC (I'm using windows 7), I enabled remote desktop by going to start, right click computer, click properties, click remote settings and check the allow connections from computers running any version of resmote desktop radio button.
5. finally I connected my phone to my wifi and tapped on the connection I created in the app. It gave me my logon screen.
If you can get this working hopefully your port forwarding settings are corect and that will work too. Hope this helps.

[Q] Splashtop Remote

Hi all,
I recently purchased this and was attempting to set it up so I can remotely access my PC, using these tutorials:
http://support-remote.splashtop.com...er-outside-from-home-via-remote-network-or-3g
http://support-remote.splashtop.com...sys-wireless-g-broadband-router-as-an-example
And I'm a bit confused. On the page where I set up my router (Netgear WRN2000), I have the ports set up correctly, but the app will not connect. I googled an open port checker, and it says "connection refused". I could very well be using the wrong IP address, as it says in the second tutorial "If it starts with 192 or 10, you need to find the externel." it says you can use whatsmyip, but using that doesn't produce any results either.. does anyone have any ideas? If I'm being too vague please let me know I can try and explain a little more.
Yes, IP addresses starting from 192 and 10 are local area network (LAN) IPs, they are only valid inside the same network. For example in a home environment your router may have an internal IP like 192. 168.1.1 while all computers connected to that router will have IPs like 192.168.1.2 and up. These IPs uniquely identifies all the devices connected to your home router, therefore you can use it to connect to any computer on your home network with your tablet when you are at home (connected to your home router). However, your router will also get one external IP starting with a number other than 192 , 172 or 10. This uniquely identifies your router inside whole of the internet. So if you want to connect to your computer from a remote location (outside home) you need to connect to that external IP. You can find this external IP by going to a site like http://www.whatsmyip.org from your home computer.
This is all you have to do:
Forward 6783 on your home router to the correct LAN ip of the PC you want to connect to
find out the external IP of your router by going to www.whatsmyip.org from the home PC you want to connect to .
Add a new PC in splashtop (android app) with the external IP.
P.S: Most home internet connections have dynamic external IPs; this means the external IP can change from time to time whenever your router is restarted or if you lose the connection to your ISP for some reason. However you can use a dynamic DNS service to assign a name like joshnichols189.dyndns-at-home.com instead of always trying to find out the correct external IP of your home network. If you are interested in getting a Dynamic DNS name like that go to http://www.dyndns.com
