Remote Desktop

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.

[Q] Looking for the best RDP app

Hi,
I'm looking for an app that will allow regular work like:
- Right click
- F5 (or refresh)
- WinKey + R (run)
and etc...
I've tryed 2X and Remote RDP, but none of the support right clicking.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thx!

SplashTop HD is by far the best RDP app I've used. Haven't used it with a mouse but it works very well with touchscreen (hold for right click).
A slightly older version is included in MyCloud which is already on the tablet, does everything the market app does but hasn't been updated to link you computer via e-mail address for auto lookup off the network.
I used to use Wyse PocketCloud but quickly replaced it when I tried Splashtop.

Yep, SplashTop HD is the best IMO

Splashtop is not really an RDP software.
You need to install a software on the computer that grabs what is on screen and sends that to the tablet.
I use remote rdp, which is real rdp client. Right click is done by clicking and holding. You can even set the screen size of the connection (i use 1280x750) which is perfect for the tablet.

* sigh * Splashtop is the best at what it does.

Ok you have a point there but unless your in a situation where you can't install the streamer on the computer (eg. Server at work ) Splahtop is the best option.
For accessing servers at work I have streamer on my work PC and RPD from there - maybe not as fast as connecting direct but keeps security guys happier

Try PocketCloud Pro
I'm using PocketCloud Pro:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wyse.pocketcloudfull&hl=en
It's a true RDP client, and should do everything you're looking for.

PocketCloud Pro, true RDP client, with all the features you asked. Also supports other remote access protocols.

Do any support remote desktop to a Linux box?

My favorite is X2.
But I just got my TF101.
I asked the support to implement right-click an F1F12-keys.
They answered they would discuss this in the next meetings.
This would be really great.
btw: There is an app with supports right-click.
I don't remember the name, but the non-trail-version costs about 17€ and has some disadvantages compared to X2.
I love X2 stays connected in the background.

It seems like most of the major the RDP have some form of "right click" functionality. The issue is you have to usually do some special screen press combo or use a context menu somewhere. This is fine for simple operations but is extremely annoying for trying to do serious work or gaming via RDP.
I'm hoping that either splashtop or PocketCloud will support right click via the touchpad's right click or even better via an external mouse that is plugged in or connected via bluetooth. I hear there is no API to support that at the moment and that is the reason no one implements such a thing.
I'd also really like to have secondary buttons on my mouse work (like depressing the scroll wheel etc...). My dream is to be able to use CAD software remotely or maybe even play a game of L4D. Right now it runs and works, just the mouse implementation prevents you from being efficient and is really frustrating to use.
Maybe when ice cream sanwich comes out, the mouse APIs will be included.

I've literally never had a dropped connection. I use PocketCloud all day for work on both windows and linux remote systems. Not saying I don't believe you, just saying I've had a different experience than you.
Pocketcloud is a bit pricey compare to other apps, but it's totally worth it if you use it for business. The on-screen mouse pointer control dial thingy is the best input method I've ever used on a tablet, You can click accurately on the smallest item and see the pointer the whole time, plus it gives you quick access to right-click, the windows key, etc.

Hm, it's really unlikely any app out there is going to support the right click on the transformer dock the way it's configured, but I really want this. Maybe there's a free RDP client out there ripe for modding this functionality in? I don't know how hard it would be.

Actually I use Xtralogic's Remote Desktop and it works PERFECTLY with the dock, including right-click support, and 'hot tracking' the mouse. The ONLY weird thing about it is that you have to double-click-drag, but it's a minor thing...
With Xtralogic's (kinda pricey) app, my TF101 is basically a netbook now, and I couldn't be happier.

I used to connect to my ubuntu system but it seem that after 5 to 10 minutes the connection drops. (this using the latest ubuntu distro) Another thing I noticed is that when you do the setup , it only show vpn for mac or windows. either way it connect, but sometime I wonder is that the problem

Agree on the mouse pointer control dial. that thing is perfect.

Remote RDP should have right click, you may need to check settings? I emailed the guy when the TF first came out, he was able to do it really fast.

right click
First of all thx for sll your replyes, but like someone here said - using combinations is nice but its annoying.
I think that there should some kind of a tweak that you can install on the device that allows the use of right click button everywhere.
Wouldn'tit be nice to use right click features everywhere? Like special functions in the browsre and etc...

I'll be sure to try SplashTop...for now, TeamViewer is my nr. 1.

Best Remote PC app

Hi peoples. I am in seach of the best remote pc app. I have currently tried:
Phonemypc: Which is currently my favorite remote pc app. Navigation is easy and it has a mouse function where you can slide your finger and see the mouse move. Frame rate isnt that great but it has the function to tap into the PC/Laptops camera and view from your mobile device, you can also tap into the mic and listen.
Splashtop HD: I also tried splashtop hd which is very laggy even on fast wifi. The image is alot more crisp, but its just very dificult to use. They claim 30+ fps but I couldnt get it to work that smoothly.
what is everyone else using to control their pcs?

I've used splashtop with very little lag on good WiFi, and even decently on 3G. What's the upload speed on the wifi you are using your PC in?

PhoneMyPC does the job for my needs.

PhonemyPC on my phone, Teamviewer on my tablet.

Remote VNC

I am recommending Teamviewer.

http://www.teamviewer.com
Of course on market is version for ANDROID.

I personally connect via VPN and then use the "2X" app to RDP to other servers.... With an external mouse, this combination works perfectly - just like you are sitting in front of a windows box. I use this mainly for support (I'm a unix admin by trade). Now, I never even need to open my laptop for after-hours support! By the time my laptop boots, I could have already got in and fixed the issue from my Transformer!

Wyse pocketcloud is absolutely amazing. I've been using it on my phone and tab for a long time now and never wanted to switch. Also free

Best I have used is Splashtop. I've used VNC, RAdmin, RDP, and X forwarding on various platforms and distances over the years and Splashtop has been the least laggy for me. I've been using the client included with my TF.

Spashtop is nice, but the problem is that you need to install a client on the remote PC.... RDP is nice becuase it's automatically available on all windows systems... If you are only connecting to one PC, I guess that's not a big deal, but for professional use, it's just too much of a pain (and security issue) to install a spashtop client on a bunch of PC's....

I use the Xtralogic RDP client. It's an amazing RDP app that does absolutely everything. I've tried dozens of different RDP apps and Xtralogic beats everything I've tried hands-down. It's a steep price on the market, but I found it for next-to-nothing on a third party app site.

Absolutely - I too use SSH for chararacter-based systems... But for Windows, the X2 app (which is free) is an excellent RDP app....

I use VMWare View. It requires you to have two windows server 2008 installations to do so(one as domain controller, and one in the domain).

What are the advantages of VMWare VIew - I've head of it, but don't know much about it - does it only work with VMWare, I'm assuming?
Thanks.

I create an SSH tunnel then connect using Xtralogic.

2x and PocketCloud Remote Desktop using VPN
I´m using 2X or PocketCloud Remote, which are working both flawlessly to connect to my Win 7 Desktop (when FW is disabled, eventhough exception for TCP 3389 is konfigured), using WLAN.
I´d like to use the apps, when i´m home by VPN (like jtrosky) but in this case, traffic from PocketCloud isn´t even arriving at my ethernet port, whereas traffic from 2X does, but the connection doesn´t establish.
Tracing on the Ethernetport on my PC with Wireshark, i see a TCP SYN-packet comming in from my Transformer, followed by a TCP connection reset-packet (RST ACK) from my PC, where there sould be SYN ACK-Packet. So the TCP 3-way-handshake doesn´t work out.
FW and other security stuff is disabled. Access to my NAS is no problem, so VPN should be the root of evil.
Anybody any ideas?
pcap-dumps attached.
THANKS!

For what it's worth, I'm going to change my RDP-app recommendation from 2X to Jump Desktop... I didn't think you could get any better than 2X (it is a great app), but Jump Desktop is even better! I *love* the fact that I can basically RDP to my remote server without even connecting to my VPN at all! It allows you to connect via the internet - as long as you load a "helper" app on the PC(s) that you want to connect to.
Works GREAT - it is now my go to app for remote connectivity!

That means, that you open a port on your router / FW, like using DYNDNS, right?
I like the idea, VPNing home and connecting to my PC from inside my LAN, - just feels more secure.

Actually, that's the nice part - with Jump Desktop, you don't need to worry about any of that stuff - you just log in to your Google account (from inside the PC helper app) and then everything is automatic! No need to mess with port forwarding, DynDNS or anything like that - it's all automatic...
They have a free version - give it a shot - I think you'll like it!
Of course, you can always still connect to your VPN and use Jump Desktop to connect "directly" to your PC if you want to go that route. But, the option to be able to connect without VPN is a nice-to-have in case VPN access is down or something like that....

[Q] Remote Desktop App for N8013

Is there anyone that has an N8013 that actually is using a RDP app; more specifically, SplashTop Remote Desktop HD or it's non HD (cheaper) version.

Try Pocketcloud Pro

I have been using PocketCloud Pro. Similar to SplashTop. I do not recall the cost of it, however it has been working well for me. Prior to getting the SGN10.1 Wifi, I was using my Droid Razr Maxx in conjunction with the Motorola Lapdock 500 Pro. It has worked great there, as well. I take that with me when I do field audit work because it gives me a larger screen.
I would avoid using things such as LogMeIn (Ignition on the device side). Although I have it, I find it to be lousy with respect to screen resolution. Both SplashTop and PocketCloud seem to provide a more realistic terminal mode reproduction of the screen.
I just recently loaded SplashTop and haven't used it that much yet. The issue that I have with PocketCloud is that I do not believe there is a way to have access to more than one monitor. Ironically, that is not an issue with LogMeIn.
I hope this helps.

I've used both Logmein and VNC. I've found that more often as not, I go to VNC (free version).

i use TeamViewer for Remote Control, free on the app store.

I use Pocket Cloud when I am away from home and SplashTop when at home. I like SplashTop HD better but I already paid for Pocket Cloud ages ago. Pocket Cloud is a pay once and you're good to go. Last time I looked at SplashTop it was a subscription and I don't want a subscription service. Its free when your on your own network and I believe is easier to use.

I use jump desktop. It's the easiest and most functional one I have found. Plus it's free. I bought paid version to support development though.

I have both vnc and splashtop. I personally like the feel of the mouse control of vnc vs splashtop. Splashtop has two modes of mouse control, one of them like that of vnc but not as good. Vnc has a better look and feel, atleast for me.

Jump desktop has SPen support. It is the best. It also can tunnel vnc and had great RDP support. :thumbup:

I have installed VNC to give it a try. Had to configure the firewall and router to accept the port and now I am past that step.
I have two questions so far. The first has to do with my laptop/server. I have the laptop running with an extra monitor. When I connect to the computer through SGN10.1, it is showing me both monitors, side by side, and quite small. How to I adjust that so that only one shows up at a time, but allows me to go back and forth.
Duh, just occurred to me that I can probably use the pinch/zoom process.
Second q. Is there any way to get a better address to the router when working remotely?
Of course, once I figure this out, I will also now have to give the Jump a try!
Thanks

I use Splashtop Whiteboard. It's the same thing but with some annotation features added to it. Pretty slick to remote control a PC for a presentation. You can still use the old apps with the new desktop server software, there is just some additional configuration needed. This allows you to still use the model where you pay once for the app instead of ongoing subscription fees.
Regarding getting your router address working. There are a few companies that can update your dynamic IP address to a hostname. DynDNS used to do it for free. I think another one is no-ip.com that still has a free service.

Curious, what do you mean by "SPen support." I think every app allows the SPen to work like you are touching the screen (at least Splashtop Whiteboard does) but does this mean it has full support for the Spen as in touch sensitivity too?

I have a problem about pocketcloud with s-pen.
On remote desktop with pocketcloud When I approach s-pen to the screen a letter of "b" is typed. As much as I approach and pull back it types a new one.
(if word is open in word, if explorer is open in explorer. Which program is open.)
Anyone having the same issue?

Remote Desktop app recommendation?

Hey guys, I'm looking for recommendations for a remote desktop app to interact with a windows 7 computer, currently I use realvnc or the MS rdp app however what I need is something that will allow me to go full screen and use finger clicks direct on the screen not a virtual mouse like the two apps I currently use.
Basically I have a piece of touch ready software and I want to use it off my galaxy tablet.
Heres what I need:
It must do fullscreen
It must be direct touch
and finally it must work without an internet connection
Thanks in advance
Tim

Teamviewer?
It is still not direct touch, but I find it much easier to use than realvnc in those regards. I use it on a tablet with a bluetooth keyboard and it's fantastic

Yeah I actually use that already on my computer however it needs to be direct touch, I also forgot to say that it needs to work on a LAN without an internet connection!

A friend at work says he used to use the bVNC app. It looks like it'll connect to your already setup realvnc server, and it was the only one he found that the touch input seemed to make sense. He said he switched to VLC players built in video streaming for what he was using it for though.

i m using only teamviewer and rdp
