Has anyone been able to get remote desktop to xp home working? I can vnc to my ubuntu desktop but cant connect to my xp netbook. Tried tightvnc and ultra vnc on the netbook but neither worked for me. I could be setting the server up wrong though.
Thanks

Hi,
If you really mean "remote desktop" to WinXP Home, I don't think XP Home has terminal services (only XP Pro does, I think).
You can try the pocketcloud free trial on market. That supports both VNC and RDP protocols, but the trial version only allows you to set up one computer at a time.

I guess remote desktop viewing would the more generic term.
My understanding is that tight VNC and ultra VNC both add this functionality to windows XP home. I've got two VNC apps that work well on the gtab as viewers (i can remote view my ubuntu desktop). It was easy to set up, but then again ubuntu comes native with VNC support out of the box.
Just wondering if anyone has had experience running TightVNC or UltraVNC servers on XP successfully.
VNC has no encryption, keep in mind (password and data flow in the clear). There are ways to add encryption, but it may not be a free solution.
I used to add VNC to Windows some years back, but layered it with SSH to add the encryption layer.
I use xtralogic remote desktop. Seems to work pretty good.

I have Ultra vnc server on one of my XP Home machines, and it works fine. Maybe the XP firewall is blocking the incoming connection? You can turn off the firewall temporarily to test.

Xtralogic remote desktop is the best rdp software for android. Uses the screen like a touchpad and follows the mouse.
best remote software by far is LogMeIn i love it and use it every day, not only does it work computer to computer but works very well from g tablet to my home machines, you can install the free version on the computer than get the logmein app which does cost something not sure exactly what since i got it a while back, just google search it in the market. cant hurt to buy it and try it if you dont like it just return it in 24 hours
Figured it out. Port forwarding is kind of flaky on my router and it takes it a couple trys before the setting will stick.

I've got a pc with vista home premium sp2 and remote all enabled. router is upnp on also. no firewall or anything on vista pc.
tp2 vzw. in remote desktop on phone i put in correct vista ip and correct username and password and hit connect. immediately it says it can't connect. all connections are fine from pcs or macs to the vista pc. the phone is wifi on same lan etc and works otherwise. I don't get it one bit and would so love some help please.
Thanks so much.
Give logmein a try. I've always had troubles with remote desktop
logmein is web only.
it works though. I've used it before quite easily. There are other solutions out there as well, just visit google or search in the general ppcgeeks and xda forums
Remote desktop is all I'm asking for help on as it comes with the phone and is what I have available to me, plus it's local and that is better performance.
Have you tried the remote desktop from a PC first to verify that your home settings are correct?
I have RDP working on my Sprint TP2, and I've never had an issue with it on the Mogul or Diamond.
Are you entering the local or public IP address in the remote desktop program?
VNC
I didn't have any problems with the remote desktop on mine at all. I quit using it when I found a vnc viewer though. VNC is nice because it doesn't mess with windows logins and keeps your display without dumping to a login screen. Great for media centers.
It sounds to me like you are having a security issue. I don't what security features the WM remote desktop viewer uses, but your Vista settings might not like them.
nmap your vista box - probably your antivirus/malware/spyware/firewall suite is blocking it.
You might also try checking to see if NLA is required upon login. I'm fairly confident that the current Remote Desktop mobile clients do not support it due to the need for kerberos or certificate authentication between the client (phone) and server (pc).
Check out "Remote Settings" in the "System" control panel item, and make sure it doesn't have the option selected to require NLA.
Thanks guys.
If you re read my first post I answer all yer questions already.
Everything works from pcs or macs. No software on vista to block anything.
The only thing not working is the remote desktop on the tp2.
I'm not on my Vista box right now, but there is a setting for the security level requirement. Try lowering it:

I'm having the exact same problem. Funny thing though, it worked once, then I tried again and haven't been able to get it to work anymore. I have tried most of the roms and I'm still unable to get it to work again. I keep getting the message "Cannot connect with the current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings."
It's already set to allow anything.
hjmmmmmmmmm
Funny thing is I have the exact same problem. It works sometimes and it doesn't other.
I found a fix, even though it's kind of lame. Load up Internet Explorer. That's it. Then go to remote desktop. It should work just fine.
Why this is I have no idea but hope I helped some people out there.
I opened IE and tried RDC and it still doesn't work. Gives the error immediately.
This is really insane. I totally don't get it and really need remote desktop on my phone to work. grr.
I don't have a clue what if anything could be blocking this if anything is blocking. I connect fine from my macbook pro and other pcs, just not the phone. And vista is set to accept anything remote. I'm not running a firewall or anything on Vista either. Built in vista firewall is off too.
The only versions of windows vista that support remote desktop are Vista Business and Vista Ultimate! If you have anything lower than Business which includeds Home edition and Home Premium, Microsoft disabled the Remote Desktop feature in these OS's so that is why it is not allowing you to connect.....
Do search for it on google and you'll find a bunch more info on it.

Ya know, if you read the original post, he said that this was something that worked normally or used to work, but now has stopped working. Has nothing to do with his desktop O/S. I too am having this same problem. To get to a pc inside my network, I have to force it to build the vpn connect first by going to a lame ie page on the inside network. Once that has happened, then I can use the remote app and specify a pc to get to and it finds it. This use to work just fine on my 6800.
I know ms disabled Rdc in home premium but I enabled it which is why I'm able to connect from pcs and macs. But not from phone.
I just connected to my xp pc from phone last night just fine and I never even tried before. So on the vista I ain't got a clue.
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...

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.

what remote desktop software can I get for transformer and also mine does not have mycloud
Mycloud is in one of the firmware updates but asus has temporarily pulled them pending a bricking issue thats some users (myself included) have had while trying to update.
As for remote desktop software, i recommend Wyse Pocketcloud. I used to use remote rdp desktop and remote vnc for my needs but pocketcloud rolls both in to one client as well as throwing in VMware view, all neat and tidy in one package.

I've been using PocketCloud for RDP,VNC and it is fantastic for those purposes. You can also try 2XClient from the market as well, its free. I find PocketCloud much smoother than 2xclient.
A free one I came across last night called '2X' is actually quite good. PocketCloud is good to but requires companion software on the remote machine.

PocketCloud does NOT require companion software... only if you enable auto discovery.
For RDP, Vmware, VNC, you don't need companion software and frankly, if you are RDPing into your machine, you probably know what IP to use to get to it so that pretty much eliminates any software requirement for the client workstation.
I stand corrected. That's what I get for listening to a co-worker. The free version of PocketCloud allows for 1 remote connection but is very smooth and intuitive. Does the pro version have resolution scaling on the remote PC as an option?
Thanks for correcting me dotpro.

True, but it does make it awfully easy when you want to access your PC(s) from outside your network!

I would like to control my ubuntu desktop from the Transformer. Does anyone use RDP or some other service like logmein with ubuntu with an android client?
I've tried Teamviewer, which is great, but the free version disconnects after 5 min.

Have you tried a VNC client? Ubuntu has a VNC server build in (called probably Remote Desktop - you can find and configure it in preferences).
I wish splashtop would put out a Linux client. I'd install unity and use splashtop. That'd be fantastic.

I have it installed through WINE but doubt it will work. I installed it for test but didn't have time to really check if it works (or to uninstall even though it starts every time I use WINE and adds an icon to window tray and pisses me off).
I added a request too, but no one probably read it there: http://support-remote.splashtop.com/entries/20010287-ubuntu-version-of-streamer
Have you tried android-vnc-viewer?
PocketCloud works well and there is no time limit. The free version only allows you to add one server though. You need to enable the built in remote sharing in Ubuntu.

I use PocketCloud on my phone without issue, but I cannot use it effectively from the Eee Pad with VNC servers. RDP works fine but VNC doesn't allow me to select the keyboard ever and the mouse pointer is always about a cm to the left of the touch pointer. Been very annoying; since it's a rather expensive app I will surely be pursuing support from Wyse.
did you try holding down the touch pointer thing? I think its designed such that you can still see the pointer when you move via dragging the circle around. Holding down the circle should bring up the menu where you can select the keyboard
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?

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
