Remote Desktop Cannot Connect

Hello all:
(first of all, I apologize for the double post, I erred and replied to a thread in the diamond forum)
I'm having problems getting my remote desktop to work. Been trying to connect since I picked up my Fuze on the 11th.
I have three different computers that I can successfully administer via my desktop. I've tried using 3G to connect, no success. I've tried using Wi-fi to connect, no success. I've used local computer names, IP addresses, properly forwarded ports --
It has to be a setting I'm missing on the phone. Any ideas? TIA

What version of Windows are you trying to connect to? Do you have a Firewall? And have you done the port forwarding on the router?
But the only options you need is Computer: IP Address and the user name and password. Use a Domain if you are connecting to PCs on a domain. Also when I logged in not using 16bit color under options the PC was almost unusable.

My attempts
The things I have tried since my post:
1) attempting to connect to Windows Server 2003 machine, non-local. Used IP address with port, same IPort that works from my desktop. Left username/password blank -- filled them both in -- left the domain name blank -- filled it in. All failed. Get the error message with three possible causes listed. Connected to my home network via wifi, data connection disabled (sometimes causes problems with my internet browsing if they're both enabled)
2) attempted to connect to a local machine, running XP Pro. Again, tried all possible combinations of username/password completeness, no success. Using Wifi
My local router does have a firewall, and the remote router does as well. I can successfully navigate those using my desktop (or laptop, for that matter)
GTO: I appreciate the quick reply...thank you.

Okay its been awhile since I used 2k3 sever. Using 2k8 lately but are you trying to use Terminal Server? and if your using 2k3 and you have ISA enabled I know it can be a pain to do port forwarding with it. But let me get this stright. You have no issues using XPs Remote Desktop to log into the server machines Terminal Server/Remote Desktop? Here is an idea. Whatever port your running Terminal Server/Remote Desktop type the IP Address with a : and port. IE 192.168.0.1:3000
Also if you would like you can PM the IP address of one of the Machines and I will try from my phone that I know is working with my machine. I am pretty sure you don't need to end a user name or password and it will bring me up to the login screen or you can make a temp account. On also on the Win2k3 machine I am pretty sure you have to add the option to login with Terminal Server even if its the Administrator account.

I am able to connect to my local XP machine over wifi using the ip addy/no port. Hostname (DNS) connection attempt failed, though. My 2k3 server's power supply died or I would test that for you.
No special router config (port fwd) for my device had been done.
The fact that you can't get to your local box on your local network is where I'd start.

Local Network Issues
Thanks again to you both...
I think that might be the problem -- the local network setup. I can connect via wifi, and browse the web. However, I can't install a network printer using the WinMo app that's included, and I can't seem get to the local PC even when I use the local IP instead of the DNS name. I did check, I'm being issued an IP address by the router (obviously), but still no dice on anything relating to network based traffic.
Is there a way to ping using WinMo? I'd like to be able to use that start.

Cont..
Also, I've noticed that I don't get the same error each time. Depending on which machine I'm trying to connect to, it'll give me an error with either two or three options as to why it's not working. Trying to figure out what that's telling me.
As far as Terminal Services are concerned, when I connect from the desktop, I believe I'm using Remote Desktop there (honestly, I haven't been paying attention -- I just use whatever pops up when I type 'mstsc' from the Run dialog, lol), and I can connect to the 2003 server. However, I can't play with this anymore today, because apparently the server is down, and I won't be able to get to it till Monday.
I think I'm going to go play with the ATT proxy and see if that changes anything. I think mine is still enabled because I read that it might help with the GPS problems...

I have found some freeware app... pocketping 1.6 and microsoft has a network tool offering which I am not sure will work on WM6. I have no exp. with either tool on WM.
Can you get to your http/https router mgmt interface from the device? Check your router's client table? Does your router have any logging capabilities?
Sorry, more questions than answers.

Router
I am able to "dial" into the router from my phone -- it shows the HTCP4600 in the clients table with an IP of 192.168.2.108 ... all good.
My logging on the router was disabled, but now it is enabled. What should I be looking for?
I think i'll try the pocketping...

Now make sure inside of the router then you have all the correct ports forwarded.

It should be port 3999 to 3999 On UDP and TCP and then your PC ip behind the firewall.

Pocketping, JETCET Print 5, and success
Here's the update:
Discovered that by disabling the AT&T proxy on the Fuze, I was finally able to connect to my network printer -- the Fuze doesn't have the drivers for my printer, but that's another thread.
So I was able to make my first IN-Network contact. Installed pocketping 1.6, and it's a very useful tool. I'm able to successfully ping the computers on my network now that the proxy is disabled -- an voila...I can also connect to my laptop on my own network! The main trick was to use the network IP address and not the DNS name.
Thanks to both of you who helped out.

That damn Remote Desktop Mobile simply doesnt work!

I dont get it. Why it is not working for me on any computer, with windows xp, windows 7 and windows server 2008?
I tried it on several wifi-networks, I get an IP and everything like surfing on the web or contacting the router etc works.
But if I try to connect via Remote Desktop Mobile, it stucks on "Connecting.."
What I tried:
- connect from other desktop-computers via remote desktop - works.
- add a new user with password because someone told me that is relevant - dont work
- connect via IP or Hostname, with Username and password and without - dont work
- Tried several versions of RDM on my hd2 - none works.
Does anyone has a hint for me what I could try else to get this crap working? Yes of course I could make a VNC - Server and connect via a viewer like dotnet-vnc-viewer (actually I tried that and it works, so why not via remote-desktop-mobile?)

Personally, I can connect with the IP address and nothing else (I actually use a dynamic DNS service, but that just resolves a name to an IP, so it's the same thing). If I do it like that then I get my normal windows login prompt and can enter a username and password.
What actually happens if you do that?

I assume you have been able to connect in the past with other winmo devices. Did you enable remote access on the host machine. Right click My Computer--Remote Access Tab. Win7 can be funny. You may have to disable enhanced security. I've had no problems connecting, but I only connect on my home wifi.

In order for remote desktop to work you MUST have a password in your account !

In addition to requiring a password, the WinMo RDP client does not support Network Level Authentication for RDP connections. You need to disable that on the host.

i seriously doubt you will be able to connect with the mobile version of RDP to either a Windows 7 or a Server 2008 Machine. The most likely case will be that you can not connect because Win7/2008 thinks you are on a unsafe OS -.-
You get the same problem when trying to connect to a windows 7 remote desktop from XP as well. Nothing new at all

I can connect fine to Windows 2008 R2, Windows 2008, Windows XP SP1, SP3 (didn't test SP2), Windows 2003 Server, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. Its not everything, but mostly everything. I tested this with the stock ROM and EnergyROM.

I agree. You are warned that it is "potentially unsafe to connect". However, you can simply click something like "Connect anyway" and check off "Do not warn on future connections to this computer". Problem solved.
And to be clear, this is NT 6.x RDP Client to NT 5.x Host.
NT 6.x ~ Vista/7 & Server varients, NT 5.x (XP, etc).

This may not be the problem or any help to you as there are probably other more technical reasons why its not working for you.
I also struggled for a long time to get working but it never did but as I didn't really need it I never tried too hard. Until one day I Installed Windows 7 Ultimate. Then it just worked as it should.
So I assumed you had to have the Ultimate Version of Windows for it to work. I may be wrong though.

Try to disable the phone, set it in flight mode, and just use wi-fi... btw have you enabled your server as an "terminal server"? i noticed that i just can connect to "terminal servers" never could connect to a work station, just a server.....

Strangely enough I just set this up yesterday, and it worked fine connecting to a Windows 7 box.
I just edited the port used (on PC I wanted to control) and forwarded the port through my router...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
I then allowed blank passwords in Local Policies...
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools\Local Security Policy -> Local Policies\Secuirty Policies\Accounts: Limit local use of blank passwords (Disable)
It connected fine over the network and over the internet (using dynadns org account). It was impractical to use though because of the resolution and my fat sausage fingers, but still pretty cool.

Ok guys, thanks for your help so far.
Okay, I will try to clarify my situation:
I already tried to connect with Flight-Mode, only wifi working. I CAN ping my HD2 and can ping the host I want to connect to.
My Account on the host HAS got a password set.
I already TRIED to put in only the IP (dont work) or either the IP, USER (dont work) OR IP, USER and PASSWORD. (dont work).
It's not a OS-Problem as far as I see, because from my WINXP Laptop I CAN connect to a WIN 7 PRO box AND a Windows Server 2008, so the Computers are configured correctly I suppose. On Windows 7, I also checked "Allow connections from any hosts running any version of Remote Desktop Mobile" (lowest security).
What the hell is wrong.. I flashed another ROM on my hd2 because I thougt maybe its ROM-related.. but that didnt help =/

to bad :-((
Thats to bad... i have a win2003 (rc2) at home, enabled Terminal server and open for rdp in my firewall/router and flashed miri v09 yesterday, opened rdp on my hd2 from work just now and connected trough gprs without doing any changes to my hd2... but like i sayed i have just been able to connect to servers..

mideel, check your messages

Thanks for your effort so far, no solution is avaiable for me yet.
I tried the hints of waxfresh which he sent me over PM (Portforwarding, set a Password, disable Firewall / Antivirus (I dont use any)..)
damn..like I said before.. a VNC connection worked without problems and configuration of ports or anything at LAN, so why doesnt it just work with Remote Desktop..

nice to read that I'm not the only one with this problem
Maybe together we can find out whats wrong with us or our versions of remote desktop mobile.
I'm currently on 2.10 german custom ROM if that matters, but the problem exists for a long time now, used 2.02 before.

task 29
Have u all done the MTTY( task 29) before you flashed a new rom?

Nope i didnt.. but could THIS be the problem? I flashed only 4 times since I got my HD2. Dont know how often I should do this task29

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.

How do I connect an Android phone via proxy to use hostfiles on PC?

Hi Guys
I need to connect android(and ios) phones to my pc via proxy so that they use the host files on my PC.
I have to test some website features on mobile browsers/apps. I use different host-files in my pc to hit different servers.(Eg, local vm, staging, production). I want to use my Android (and ios) devices to connect to my pc and use those hostfiles to hit the different servers.
For example, if My hostfile onmy pc is pointing to staging servers, then i want the phone to point to that also. Also I have a vpn on my pc which needs to be connected for me to access staging.
What is the best way for me to do this? Any help is greatly welcome!
Note:
I tried using freeproxy to do this but it's not working as expected.
The steps I tried making freeproxy work.
Code:
1 Used ipconfig to find my pc ip
2 selected a wifi network on my android phone, long pressed it, selected "modify network"
3 set proxy settings as manual, proxy hostname =ip of my pc , port 8080
4 started freeproxy on my PC as admin, started proxy.
after this i'm still not able to get the websites to load...even though on the proxy logs i see that the device is trying to connect it seems tobe not working.
PS: I have rooted test device where i can change hostfiles, but I need VPN which is on my pc to be on in order to hit staging, thus changing hostfile on Android phones prevents me from hitting production directly so I have to go through my PC

[Q] [HELP] SSH Tunnelling

Hello.
I need some help about my problem connecting to my work lan.
I have a PC in office connected to work LAN. I can connect to my pc from remote usign SSL VPN.
I have installed Junos Pulse on my Galaxy Note 10.1 and with it I can connect to my VPN and then, using port 3389, I can connect to my PC using RDC.
If I need to access my work network, I need to make some tunnel using port 3389.
I installed SSH server listening on port 3389 on my pc and, after VPN connection has been established, I try to use SSHtunnel to configure connection to my ssh server (working ok) and then starting Global Application routing. When I start SSH tunnel it connect to my ssh server and it works (for ex. using internet browser from android) but only using IP addresses.
If I try to use names instead of IP it is unable to resolve DNS, also if I set DNS option ON in SSHtunnel.
I cannot understand how to accomplish that kind of connection. I tried proxydroid, sshtunnel, autoproxy but they does not work (or I am not able to make them work).
I don't know if it is some problem using tunnelling with Junos pulse.....
Any help for me?
Thank you

No help?
