Can this only be used in the local network and not over the internet? It keeps telling me that it cannot locate the device. In the description it says "finds all local devices."
You can certainly use it over the net.
You will need to have the splashtop app running on your machine and need to set up port forwarding on your home router. The application uses tcp ports 6783, 6784 and 6785.

You will also need your IP that your ISP assigns you. Hopefully it doesnt change regularly then you should be good to go.
A fix for that is to sign up w dyndys.org. then u can use hostname instead of ip.

Terrible idea to use it over the internet, just do a port scan for those ports and you can see anyone running this over the net. Then it's just a matter of exploiting the host or figuring out a weak password.

It would be better to set up a VPN back to your home network, then use the software to connect to your computer.
Go to logmein.com and check this site out. I've been using them for 3 years now

Is there anyway to redirect computer keyboard input from the computer to the HD2? This would be useful to type texts in the device using my computer keyboard.
I don't want something like My Mobiler since I don't want to see the whole screen but only to redirect input.
After all, I just want to use my keyboard like a bluetooth keyboard, but using and activesync usb connection...

If you're already connected to wifi, why would you need your computer to update weather info?
I have WiFi Remote Access installed on my HTC HD2. How exactly does it allow the use of a PC keyboard to be used through it on my HD2? I've looked and looked and see no setting for using a PC keyboard.

Too bad I cannot make this work because of my wireless network settings. I have a very secured access using MAC filters so that is probably why. The 1.7 is only a trial version right? It says on the website it has a timebombthat will go off sometime in June. Besides this app, any other app that can do the same thing? Thanks.

No, 1.7 Beta 2 is timebombed (it has more features). R1 is stable and works like a charm.
Visit here for the detail.
Why the need for such secure MAC filters? Do you work for the NSC or something? Why not relax your settings, give it a try... if you don't like Wifi Remote Access' features, then ditch it and secure your router like Fort Knox again.
dude just try pocket controller, its great i use it to see my device on my screen and controll it fully, it even lets me skin the session with the right device skin..

How did you know who I worked for??? Lol. My router is weird, I cannot connect to my network if I disable MAC filtering, which is really annoying since I have to add every single device that I want to connect. It took me a while to get that router figured out and I don't want to lose my connection so maybe I will try this app at work.
Okay, have 1.7 installed and still don't see the keyboard options.
Eh...it's on the desktop application under Remote Controls. It requires an access code, which would cause the program to likely be disabled after a period of time. I'll stick with the basic app.
Is there an app that can shutdown a windows computer just using its ip address without the need for installing a client on the computer.

Works with hostname. I haven't tried with IP addresses, but i think that works too.
You'd have to create some kind of server... you have to have something that will accept connections on the server end. Whatever it may be, including SSH, etc.

Could do what you want and more but you won't be able to turn off a computer without a way (service or server) that allows it

there'sis somethinglike that ... but it checks for a security hole in "windows vista and 7 ONLY" no XP""" Vista and 7,... ok you can connect to the same network and input the IP and NUKe it.."test for the security hole, if the machine has it, it will shut down.. now aday.. 5 out of 10 machines has that hole open.. so its 50 50 chance but still good to test!
ITS CALLED "SMB CHECK"
That's frightening. If your computers have this vulnerability, they should be patched... not exploited
But anyway... something that actually executes against the credentials of your system is definitely the way to go.
Been playing with ssh so I just connect to a pc from phone and issue command to that an shut any computer on network down. Shame there isn't an app that can do out in a few clicks.

Cool man. I can't imagine it'd be too hard to write one, especially if it's just triggering a bash script with a specified argument (of the host name).
Out of curiosity, are you connecting via VPN? If so, what are you using?
I'm excited for the release of the Cisco Cius and their AnyConnect client, which will hopefully be ripped (or released).
Not using vpn am connected to nw via wireless.
If a talented dev would take up the challenge and code an app for this it would be great, if only I could code

Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Well, you really don't have to "set up" a VNC server in Ubuntu because Ubuntu's remote desktop application is actually VNC, not RDP. Just enable remote desktop in the system settings, set up the appropriate port forward rules on your router and you should be good to go.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Thanks I'll try that, I was hoping for an app that had a nice ui and possibly even sound. I use a vnc app to connect to a linux box I have anyways but its real laggy.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
What do you use? I use Remote VNC Pro and it's the best I've use. Allows for pinch to zoom and panning which makes it really easy to navigate a desktop. Speed will depend more on your phone data connection speed and your home internet's upload speed.
I use android vnc, it works ok and only in landscape. So I guess I would just configure it to connect to my home ip address.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
well i tried to set up remote desktop and i'm getting your desktop is not reachable....only on local network. i know this means that i need to forward ports on my router which i did, ports 5900-5999 which i believe should cover all vnc ports. however canyouseeme.com's open port check tool is saying they are closed, so i think my isp is blocking vnc ports or something. any ideas?

Hi mcnally,
I have successfully used 'droid VNC server' in the past.
What VNC client are you using on your desktop? I have used tightvnc, realvnc and ultravnc (they all do the same thing, just differently)
I had assumed that keyboards & mice were configured automatically, but there can be a "view only" option that may have stopped your keyboard & mouse from interacting.
Also - sometimes VNC is quite laggy, so laggy it looks like its not responding! your client should have a setting to reduce the color depth, this transmits less data & can help the lag but you loose colours. There may also be settings to reduce data transfer further, like handling the mouse on the client side etc...

this is really one of the scarest pblm.. coz jus type in the google and see the intensity of the problem!!
BTW
it is not ad-supported and doesnot collect any user stats
the best part i can recommend is that,NO NEED TO INSTALL IT
soo that al the major issues can be avoided
u will share the network via build in service which is present @W7.... nothing new...

Two friendly suggestions and a question:
1) Produce a more "professional" and well-made tutorial video. For example, choose more "neutral" music and you might want to consider using voice narration instead of text.
2) For the "Setup Hotspot" function, if possible you should move to a GUI like in Virtual Router Manager instead of the current command prompt text interface. It looks and feels so 1980s.
3) What is the security encryption method used by this app? Hopefully WPA2
I use this open source app for the same (For windows 7+)

I occassionally have to stop/start the service but otherwise it works fine.

and go to advanced settings
there u will find a proxy column...jus enter your proxy and save it...thats it...u can use the internet now..
yes.still not connected.probably my university blocking the network sharing
yeah.That might be reason.
But once you restart the system and and disable/enable the wifi and also the sharing.
Try to adjust the LAN settings too.
It might work! why dont you give a try?
