Hello everybody, I would need some support.
I'm struggling to see if I can connect my WM5 "wirelessly" with my computer that has a wireless LAN.
My computer is connected to internet through a wired connection.
I found this well designed tutorial :
http://www.geocities.com/grieg_winter/adhoc/index.html
but... it didn't work. my wireless LAN is always out (red cross on it)
Thank you for your support

Please read my Wi-Fi P2P tutorial; it's been linked infrom several of my networkingrelated article (for example, the Multiplayer Bible - sorry, I can't give you the URL now as I'm on a slow and epxensive GORS conenection, which makes it impossible for me to make some searches). It will work.
I have a problem with the P2P because I use a LAN which my PC has the address of 192.168.1.106 and upon connecting the P2P as host, it has IP 192.168.1.1, which is the IP my router use, so it probably got confused. See if you are having this settings.

wireless LAN connection
Thank you very much for your quick answer under hard conditions Menneisyys !
I read your tutorial, that is explicit on - local - p2p between mobile.
I think it should be the same with mobile and XP, but my wireless lan refuse to function. I need to check more on that, but maybe it is just dead
Thank you veyr much

XP and WM5 wireless LAN connection : the answer
I eventualy managed to connect my WM5 to my notebook thanks to the support I found here. I write here a quicky bibliography guide.
The wish
I wanted to wirelessly connect my PDA device with my notebook that is connected to internet through a cable. The aim is to acces internet, skype etc. on the mobile.
Technical environment
A cable internet connection to internet
A computer with a wireless LAN card and windows (XP but link will explain also for previous versions)
A pocket PC (WM5 but link will explain also for previous versions)
Settings
Windows XP : http://www.geocities.com/grieg_winter/adhoc/index.html
(check : on some notebook - like VAIO - your wireless LAN must be physically switch on, by pressing a button on the side, I spent a day or two waiting for the computer to connect not knowing that )

et voila monsieur ,
That should be it !

Hi Guys
After trawling countless forums and google searches i have finally found a Ventrilo client for PPC and smartphones.
The programs is called CEntrilo http://www.g3gg0.de/wordpress/projects/centrilo
Now I installed this and was like "Hell YEAH!", it connected perfectly and I was able to use all the features that I love in normal ventrilo.
Then I hit a snag....when i unhooked from ActiveSync i lost connection and no matter what i did i could not get connected through WiFi or GPRS..Dammit! All i kept getting was the error "host name not found"
Once again I trawled google to find a solution. BINGO! I found that if you redirect a host to the IP (such as signing upto no-ip.org and creating a host) and then used that as the IP it works.
So anyways I hope this is usefull to all u hardcore gamers and Voip ppl
Peace Out

Hi all,
Please forgive me if I post a new thread in bad location but It's my very first post in this forum. I have searched xda threads for a long time till I decided to write as I have a problem that needs al least some clue from more advanced users.
I want to use a Remote Desktop feature by connecting from my HTC HD2 WM 6.5 vnc Viewer 1.0.1.17 to my PC with WinXP HOME and RealVNC server running. (I try to do it this way as I read in one of xda threads that original Remote Desktop built in hd2 will not work for WinXP Home).
So what I did is as follows:
- Installed RealVNC 4.3.2 Enterprise and had a server running on IP 192.168.1.10.
- Set port forwarding (as I use a router). I entered LAN servers on my router settings and set TCP; 5900/start/end; IPlocal 192.168.1.10
- Done the testing through "gotomyvnc.com" (cannot post links as I am a new member)
and got positive result on port 0
- Installed vncviewer on my hd2. Both PC and PPC were connected to the same network. (actually I tried using the internet connection from HD2 too) I tried to connect by setting:
Server: 192.168.1.10::5900 (port number)
with password and without password
or
Server 192.168.1.10:0 (display number instead)
Both firewalls on my PC (XP firewall + ESET NOD Business) and PPC (Mobile Security) were switched off.
I cannot at any way connect to my PC from HD2. The errors I obtain with different trials are:
"Cannot connect to specified server"
"Connection failed at authorization"
Perhaps I missed something or forget about some detail. Or maybe the whole approach is wrong? Hope you guys will be able to give me some advice cause I am totally run out of ideas.
Thanks in advance
Mike

hello all,
recently 2 - 3 days ago, i have re-developed the application
and uploaded the update on the market.
basically its a Mysql Client,
DIRECTLY, allows you to connect to a Mysql server, and perform sql quires, insert, delete, select,... and list the tables,views and sprocs.
with the great result viewer (grid) you can view results in stylish way.
Change log
** Enhanced securing the stored connection info (better encryption)
** Data can't be decrypted except on the very same device.
** Added new permission (get phone state and identity) needed for the point above!
1- Save old connections with better management (no duplications now, long press to delete).
2- Enhanced the resultset viewer USER CAN DELETE ROW NOW! (delete button added).
3- Better exceptions handling (i hope).
4- Better connection handling and stability (i hope).
5- Better Screen design for execute SQL.
6- Added loading (progress-bar) to almost every remote-action.
7- Removed Ads.
i will be glad to get feedback or bug reports her

thanks
nobody like it !!?
Niice, thanks op, am actually taking a MySQL course in the school and this'll allow me to mess with MySQL on the go.

HI
When I enter the details for a connection and then try to "connect" a popup saying "Please wait..... Connecting..." is displayed forever. I´m quite sure that the connect information is correct because I receive an error message otherwise. Problems are:
1. I cannot connect to my mySQL server.
2. I cannot cancel the connect or even the app. I have to got to the apps overview and "kill" the app.
I´m using a Motorola Xoom (Wifi only, MZ604) with Android 3.2 and the mySQL server is on a virtual server (vServer) located at some remote site.
Would be great if that could be fixed some day...
Greetings from Germany.

hello,
the connection dialog has a timeout 30 seconds, so if you wait 30 seconds it will stop trying to connect,
but i think i have to make that dialog "cancelable" so you can hit back and cancel connection (good to keep that option to.).
on the other hand .. make sure you have enabled remote connect to your mysql server, and add/allow the IP you are trying to connect from, so the mysql server allow it.
thank you.
Ok, but...

Thanx for the quick response. Here are my answers to your points:
1. I have been waiting VERY much longer than 30 seconds (several minutes), but the connection dialog never stopped.
2. I have allowed connections to my mySQL server from ALL hosts (%), so there is no need to allow access on an IP address basis. The IP address is unknown anyway when I´m using a mobile device, or is it? Anyway, it would be impracticable to add the dynamically provided IP address to the mySQL server configuration every time - especially when you have no access to the mySQL server since the client cannot connect...
(I have tried another mySQL client for Android, but this thing crashes everytime it tries to connect to the mySQL server...)
Tell me if I can be of any help in the investigation of this connection problem. I´d really like to use your app to manage my server with my tablet.
Regards
Emmi

yes using % will allow all,
but its not secure.. anyway in a case of dynamic IP it can be used.
-side note- you can find your current real IP if you visit http://www.whatismyip.com/
from your mobile browser.
*** regarding the application:
- are you capable to login using a desktop client, like Navicat or MysqlTools?
- if you can get a logcat from your device while trying to connect that would be great, i think it will be useful,
-one more thing is if u can try it from a mobile not a tablet, since supporting tablets was added recently and i could not test it ( no tablets around ).
** one last thing:
if all that did not work, you may create a user with very simple privileges,
and pass me (private message) the login info (ip, username, password), and i will try to connect with the app using my hTC Desire.
Thanks & best regards.
I can login and access the server using Navicat.
Do you know an app to get a logcat?
Unfortunately I have no Android phone available.
I´ll send you login info via pm.
I´ve found the follwoing errors in logcat (using catlog ;-)):
01-16 22:18:46.530 E/dalvikvm(4300): Could not find class 'javax.naming.StringRefAddr', referenced from method com.mysql.jdbc.ConnectionPropertiesImpl$ConnectionProperty.storeTo

May be you can take this as a start...

i've tried and i confirm the application waas not able to connect to ur server.
also i found that error log, when i try to connect only to ur server..
i think its related to host name converted to an IP address reference ...
it looks to be a bug in the driver i am using (i've googled it)
i am working on a fix or workaround for now ...
thanks again.
how is it done...
hi stinger1..
i recently starting using your pheonix my sql client ...
my question is how does your app connect to the mysql server...
is there a middleware web service that connects to the database or
does the app directly connect to the database...if yes..how ?...
i mean using what....
how did you use the jdbc drivers...
The following is a 3-step process for gaining remote access to your PC Via your Android phone's data connection for FREE and without a static IP.
IT USES YOUR DATA PLAN SO MAKE SURE YOUR HAVE UNLIMITED DATA PLAN OR YOU'LL BE SAD!!!
It allows you to control and view your PC by accessing Windows Remote Desktop using Pocket Cloud on your Android. I used this method on my T-mobile Samsung Vibrant and am now using it on my HTC Amaze. Currently, I have only tested this using Windows XP. I HAVE NOT TRIED IT ON WINDOWS 7. Someone smarter than I can tweak the process for Windows 7 and MAC OS. Please feel free.
I put this little solution together from some forums I found scattered all over the internet. When I needed it, I couldn’t find the complete solution in one place so; I consolidated it for you here. The VB script in particular is not my original work and I can't remember where I got it for the life of me so; my apologies to the author for not properly citing it here. PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM ONLY POSTING THE METHOD I USED. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Now…down to business!!!!!
Here is how it works:
Your PC automatically accesses a website to gather your WAN IP information and sends an "email-to-text message" to your Android on a schedule of your choice. This ensures that you always have access to your current WAN IP address. This is important; DSL providers change your WAN IP address as much as 10 times/day where cable internet providers only do it about once/month.
You then use this information to configure Pocket Cloud (available for free on the Android Market) to connect to your home router/PC. Using the current WAN IP as the "host address" in Pocket Cloud, you can connect, control, and view your PC remotely over your Android's data connection.
Requirements:
In order for connection to work, the following must be done before you start the steps. Don't worry, these are all easy.
· Your PC must be powered on with an internet connection (obviously)
· Windows XP must have a windows logon password set (assuming you are not on a home network with an actual server).
NOTE
If you have a modem connected directly with no router, you are all set. Skip the next bullet.
· Your router must be set to forward "remote desktop" activity (port 3389) to the PC to which you'd like to connect; make sure the router doesn't block the remote desktop application (see your router manual).
· Make sure your internet security software (see your software manual) and Windows XP ("my computer" properties under the "remote" tab) allows remote access to your PC.
STEP 1. Tweak the RED ITALIC TEXT ONLY of the VB Script (attached at the bottom) in by creating a new "note pad" file; pasting it in to "Note Pad"; and saving the file as "EmailIP.vbs".
NOTE
You can test your script by double clicking the .vbs file you just created. If you then get a text message with your IP address in it, you are good to go. The text message should only take a few minutes to arrive.
STEP 2. Schedule the script to run at any interval you'd like by browsing to it from within Windows Task Scheduler. This is under Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Scheduled Tasks. If you need help with task scheduler, Google it.
NOTE
The task should be scheduled more frequently for those using a DSL home internet provider. I set mine for every 2 hours as I use DSL at home. Cable internet can be scheduled to run much less often.
STEP 3. Install and configure Pocket Cloud RDP free from Android Market. using IP just texted to your Android and your Windows Logon information.
· Create a new connection in pocket cloud.
· Enter a nick name of your choice into the "Nick Name" field.
· Enter the WAN IP which was just texted to your phone into the "Host Address" field.
· Enter your windows logon user name and password into the "User Name" and "Password" fields.
· Leave everything else alone!
· Scroll to the bottom and hit "Save."
· Tap the connection and you should be connected to your PC with in seconds.
Cheers!
I use MyPhoneExplorer, very easy and noob-proof
i use teamviewer for this...
teamviewer does not require u to have static WAN ip...
the only thing u need is teamviewer account which is free...
I have create a vpn and get the static ip from no-ip.org
.
Thread moved. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.

Good choice, however, no-ip and teamviewer both require that a 3rd party have certain terminal info or it pings the server periodically. This solution keeps third arties out of the equation with the exception of a collecting your own IP from an outside URL. Again, somone much smarter than I would be able to write a script that collects your WAN from the CMD prompt or something native to OS rather than a URL. If you know how, Please do and post it here.

My Apologies. I did read them and didn't see a good fit anywhere as this is neither an App nor a game. It will take me some time to figure out where threads should be posted. Thanks for your patience.
