[Q] Will MyCloud Remote Desktop ever allow access from outside the network? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

SplashTop recently had an update for the PC client end, but the Transformer never got an update...
Will the Remote Desktop function in MyCloud allow access from outside the network/over the internet?

It already can, you just have to forward the ports on your router and add the system using your external IP address.

Thanks for the reply crater!
Unfortunately I'm not as technologically inclined as i should be
Is there a guide for Dummies on how to do this?
Cheers!

It always has

Spashtop remote has always allowed it. You need the IP address that your ISP assigns you and you need to do port fowarding on ports 6783 6784 6785 and you need your PC's IP to be static. You will need your ISP IP address for the remote desktop setup not your PC's static address. so when you hit "Mycloud" then "start to scall all availble devices you should see two IPs one willbe be your static that you use on your network the other is the ISP assigned IP address you can use anywhere(off network)

oops i guess you posted this when i was typing

Splashtop can now do auto-discovery using your Google login/pw for connecting over the 'net. So you don't need to port forward or know the IP of the machine your logging into. It's under Settings>Experimental Features.

I actually have an YouTube video showing you how to do that.
I didn't cover how to set up static IP tho.
But i should work as long as your IP don't refresh by itself.
Give it a try

Using Voip on Internet of Host PC with ActiveSync

Hi!
When I have my PDA connected to my PC using bluetooth and activesync, I can use the Internet connection of the pc directly from my PDA. For instance I can launch Mobile IE and visit a web page.
However I cannot use the Voip function of my PDA. The Today plug-in shows 'No service' status for my voip configuration (if I connect to Internet using WiFi, Voip works).
In the beginning I thought that ActiveSync only allows port 80 (HTTP) access. However I can also download or send e-mail messages using POP3/SMTP which use different ports.
Do you have any idea if I can also use Voip over the Internet connection shared by activesync?
Ha ha, good attention, however estimate should be be subjected to limiting of.The Voip used when Voip perhaps can'ted use "unit constitution"

I assume this is down to the NAT implementation on the Host PC and/or Windows Mobile 6.x not actually allowing this anyway - the PDA to PC uses the autoconfig IP network 169.254.0.0/16, all connections from the PDA are proxied via the host PC. I have just captured the traffic flow using WireShark from the host PC out (i.e. not the PDA to PC link) to see what is sent when the SIP client is started (Internet Calling). I can see the initial DNS lookup for the SIP server host (in my case 'sip.btsip.bt.net') which gets a valid reply, however there are no more packets transmitted from the host PC.
If I capture on the PDA-to-PC link (USB) I can see the DTPT protocol (DeskTop PassThrough protocol) which although WireShark understands it isn't very intuitive. I can see a 'QuerySet' with the DNS name embedded (sip.btsip.bt.net) but there is little else.
I really don't think ActiveSync is capable of doing this and to be honest I don't think the Windows Mobile is even trying. I have captured several conversations over WiFi when I first got the SIP client working and the conversation I am seeing here is nothing like them.

[Q] Any DynDns Ip viewers?

Hi All,
Hoping someone will be able to help me.
I'm trying to find an App that lets me view my Dynamic Home IP from my Androidn Phone. then be able to copy that IP into any other app I wish, such as FTP of VNC.
Is there such a thing?
I know there are apps that assign a static DynDns to my phone, but that's not what I want.
Many thanks

[Completed] How can i Remote desktop using rdp over the internet?

I configured my pc to be remotely controlled using the tablet, using rdp. The software im using is parallels. Also, tried the ms remote desktop app. Both works wonders over lan. But i want to access my pc when im outside, through internet.
I know there are apps like teamviewer and splashtop. But they require me to install a server app in the pc. Paralells dont. So i configured a no-ip host, port forwarding, ddns in my router and firewall in my pc, to accept incoming remote desktop connections through internet. But it seems the only way to do it in android is by installing a server app in the pc. Which i think is useless because i already have everything configured to do it without extra software and i dont want to create a teamviewer account.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Ipv4 range

Hello, I'm fairly new to programming let alone development, how ever I need to connect my home computer and mobile device to a class server provided by my college. The server allows user access by username and password but as an extra layer of security the instructor limits access to set ipv4 addresses. Given at&t as my provider I've been using mobile hotspot as my main internet service, unfortunately the ip address changes frequently through this service. I was wondering if there was any way to capture the range of these ip adresses or if anyone could direct me on another way to create a static address through which I could connnect (perhaps a very basic web server?).

They need to change their policy. No consumer internet service uses a static IP, so even though yours may change faster, everyone else in the class will eventually have the same issue. They need to invest in a VPN if they want network security.

If this is an absolute requirement one option could be to get a static IP address from AT&T. I know Sprint offers that as an option for around $5 a month. might be a way to do this. The only other option I can think of is to get a server on something like cloud at cost or digital ocean and use it as a proxy.
Does your school offer up a VPN for students? One thing you might be able to ask the professor is if they will allow you to use it from on campus.

Redirect all connected hotspot users to a specific IP

Hi,
I am trying to configure an Android phone as a local web server, where people can directly connect to the phone (hotspot) and browse the content hosted locally on the phone (no internet access available). Similar to a Librarybox or Piratebox.
Web hosting part is straightforward with an app like KWS Webserver. However navigating to the hosted site is a little cumbersome as you have to know the local IP of the server. So I am looking for a way to automatically forward everyone who connects to the hotspot to a particular IP (that of the webserver). Similar to how most public WiFi networks take you to a login page when you connect?
Does anyone know how to do this easily (on a non-rooted phone)?
Thanks.
