VNC viewer not working?

I dont know whats different in my setup, but I can no longer use my VNC viewer to connect to my computer. I flashed my ROM but I did not do anything else. All that is different is that now i connect to HSDPA rather than regular 3G (ATT).
I can still connect to my computer through my other computer. Can flashing the ROM be the problem? Did ATT disable VNC? What could be the problem?

Do other ways of direct (or LogMeIn-like) remote desktop access work? RDP, for example?
Also see my dedicated bible on everything related to this q, the protocols etc. I may make it a sticky again so that it is read by everone.

the host machine has windows xp home, so remote desktop is out of the question. I tried another VNC server and it still doesnt work.

What about LogMeIn and the like?

WinMo VPN --> Sonicwall firewall

Has anyone ever attempted to set up a WinMo VPN to a Sonicwall firewall? I've been spinning my wheels for a few days now trying to get it to work on my TP2 with no luck.

I've not connected to Sonicwall, but I too wasted a lot of time trying to connect to our corporate VPN server (uses PPTP). The phone couldn't connect--wouldn't even attempt to connect.
I then installed another modem connection in my work connections. I used the #777, [email protected], and password = vzw. It works now.
Maybe that will also work with the Sonicwall. I'm curious why I had to go through all those steps. My other Windows Mobile phones automatically used the Verizon connection when a VPN session need to be established.

Thanks, but I can't use PPTP. I need to use IPSec or L2TP. My issues are more about properly configuring one of these protocols. Anyone? Anyone?

[Q] Anyone use Splashtop?

I need help. I was talking to a guy that claimed to be a developer of Splashtop, which allows you to run your laptop remotely from your tablet. The app was initially created for iphone/ipad, but is available in the Android market. I was so impressed with the app and how fast and seamless it runs your laptop programs that I purchased without question. Well I have a question: how do you connect to it remotely while away from home? I have turned on laptop, turned off auto shut down, and turned on splashtop on the pc. Everytime I have tried to connect away from home I get an "out of reach" message. I have been as little as 5 miles away. If anyone out there has knowledge of what I may be doing wrong please let me know. The guy told me this should work from anywhere just as long as my computer is turned on and running splashtop.
Thanks!!

I use it on my xoom, and it works great, but I haven't tried using it away from home. Hmm, thanks for the heads up, I want to find out too.

Yes, great at home, but I can just use my laptop. If I can get it to actually work when I am away from home, then it makes my Xoom THE BEST thing to have! I get so tired of carrying my laptop around, this would help.

I'm actually wondering this also. Does anyone have any insight?

Yeah i got the splashtop and to make it work outside your home network, you must do port forwarding.
i uninstalled it because now, i keep getting drop connections and if i reconnect, it gives me error saying it is already being accessed by another device. this was both on my home network and accessing it from the outside. it was great but not anymore.
sorry for the rant.

Hmm
For the price it's probably not as good as some of it's competitors, which are closer to 5x the price of this. I would attribute it's lack of quality to the problems such as devices being already connected etc.
As for distance, it makes no difference, the most important thing to do is make sure that if you have a router, it must have the necessary ports forwarded to the computer you want to connect to.
Personally I try to avoid remote desktop and instead try make everything i might want from home accessible via web-apps or various servers.

I don't have the app so I'm just giving some general comments:
Im assuming it works over wifi?
1) Maybe you need to enter the ip address of your home and name a port? then get the router to port forward to your laptop?
2) If it works over wifi, then if your router has the option set up a VPN. then connect to it when ur away from home - then its exactly as if ur xoom is connected to the local network itself

Port forwarding is a new concept to me, so not sure how to do it, but you guys have given me a new thing to Google. Also, I did have my internet run through a router, but I disconnected it because I on have my home internet through ATT Uverse and didn't have anything that really needed to run through it. If you have some quick directions for me, then I will be grateful!

Teamviewer
Teamviewer does it away from home. Theres no sound and fluid video tho

I assume this is similar to Wyse Pocket, and i have never had issues connecting via 3G. Is this a better app?

well your router gets its internet then shares it via with the rest of your computers.
Port forwarding takes all the data from a specific port and forwards it to a specific device.
to start you have to assign ur computer a static ip address (again through your router) then forward all data to it. sorry i cant be more precise but the procedure varies between routers. I have never used the ATT Uverse. Honestly the best thing to do is have a browse thorugh ur manual or google for a guide
try this site to see if your model is listed. if not choose a similar model and try to do similar steps

These apps were made with very different goals in mind...
I use both of these apps for what I believe they were designed for and I'm happy with both. The WYSE PocketCloud app supports RDP / VNC connections but SplashTop doesn't. It's not even really designed for WAN access but rather just LAN access. Yes, unlike PocketCloud you'll need to use port forwarding to use it in the likely unsupported WAN configuration.
SplashTop runs beautifully on my LAN but I don't expect it to work outside those parameters. I think SplashTop has far superior frame rate / audio sync for watching Videos (with / without audio). Is it the optimized support for the Tegra 2? I don't know, but it works and works well. It lets me watch Hulu, NetFlix, etc with rarely a hiccup. PocketCloud can't touch that ATM.
Even though PocketCloud's framerate and audio sync are MUCH worse by comparison to SplashTop making it unusable (even when on my LAN connected by WiFi) for the purpose of watching video through it, I don't begrudge it since I don't believe that's what it's for. It has an awesome UI (I prefer it somewhat over SplashTop's) and works very well over RDP. When the Terminal Services update emerges from closed beta, it will be even more awesome.
These apps probably shouldn't even be compared as they are meant to do different things, different ways. Each works for what they were designed for. Neither is perfect. In my case, both were very easy to setup. Any difficulties I had were caused by my own firewall setup. Neither were expensive IMO.

Has anyone figured out how to connect using mycloud when you are away from home? I've tried port forwarding and the portchecker from portforward.com verifies that my ports are open and are forwarded properly but I still can't seem to connect using my modem's WAN ip.
My modem/router model is smc d3gn and I am connecting directly to it with my computer.
I've also tried using the modem's built in vpn function and I can connect to the vpn (accessing the router setup page from my tablet shows me logged in with a pptp ip so I know that I'm connected but splashtop still refuses to connect.)
Hope someone can figure this out soon... I've tried the experimental locator thing using my gmail account but I'm not sure if it does anything.

[HELP] Configuring Remote Desktop

I hope someone can help me out on configuring remote desktop client to connect to my PC.
I am intending to TF my tablet by bluetooth/wifi from my iPhone.
I currently have Remote Desktop on my TF and I am able to connect it successfully using my home wifi.
However, I have problem connecting, when I am using other connection.
I hope someone can really help me with this.
Thanks.

It sounds like the connection that is not working is probably blocking port 3389, which is the default port used for RDP. It's very common for public wifi networks to restrict ports including those used for remote desktop. Unless you know that other people are using this connection sucessfully for remote desktop, I would not assume that it's a problem with your tablet.

Or it's your router blocking remote desktop connections. Have you enabled port forwarding on your router?
On a side note, do you really want remote desktop open to the whole world? You should look into a VPN setup...

i believe there are users who are able to connect to the desktop from their office and school.
There was a thread on that apps and people are doing that. I tried asking for help, but I can't seem to figure it out.
Hence, I am putting this to the ground, and hope more forumers would be able to help

I think I did not do any port forwarding for my router, as it wasn't necessary.I don't why, and my BitComet is getting 2 green lights and able to hook up to remote connection. Previously, I need to setup port forwarding for my previous router.
I didn't know remote desktop is so vulnerable! In that case, I'll try to look up on VPN setup, before coming back here to ask question again.
Thanks.

Wake up lan through splashtop

Hi! I am just wondering if someone know how I can wake up my computer by using Splashtop app through 3G or other wifi network.
I have successfully wakening up my computer by being at the same wifi with my computer (lan), but it wont work when I connect my tf300 through 3G or other networks. I have also been able to forward my ports so I can remote my computer through 3G or other networks.
So do anyone know how I can wake my computer through other networks?
instead i've been downgrading to splashtop v1 coz in v2 it wont work.

Go into the splashtop streamer settings to advanced settings and all the port info should be there, make sure that ip address and port is used for the port forwarding

Perform port forwarding (both TCP/UDP for ports 6783~6785, and ports 7, 9) for your Streamer on your home router.

Does that match your port forwarding setup?

indeed it does and i've test it with port check app and result is open, gud news is when i tried yesterday it works.!! but only one times. dunno maybe the 3g network here is lil bit slow i think so the magic packet were sended too long.
