Hello all:
(first of all, I apologize for the double post, I erred and replied to a thread in the diamond forum)
I'm having problems getting my remote desktop to work. Been trying to connect since I picked up my Fuze on the 11th.
I have three different computers that I can successfully administer via my desktop. I've tried using 3G to connect, no success. I've tried using Wi-fi to connect, no success. I've used local computer names, IP addresses, properly forwarded ports --
It has to be a setting I'm missing on the phone. Any ideas? TIA
What version of Windows are you trying to connect to? Do you have a Firewall? And have you done the port forwarding on the router?
But the only options you need is Computer: IP Address and the user name and password. Use a Domain if you are connecting to PCs on a domain. Also when I logged in not using 16bit color under options the PC was almost unusable.
My attempts
The things I have tried since my post:
1) attempting to connect to Windows Server 2003 machine, non-local. Used IP address with port, same IPort that works from my desktop. Left username/password blank -- filled them both in -- left the domain name blank -- filled it in. All failed. Get the error message with three possible causes listed. Connected to my home network via wifi, data connection disabled (sometimes causes problems with my internet browsing if they're both enabled)
2) attempted to connect to a local machine, running XP Pro. Again, tried all possible combinations of username/password completeness, no success. Using Wifi
My local router does have a firewall, and the remote router does as well. I can successfully navigate those using my desktop (or laptop, for that matter)
GTO: I appreciate the quick reply...thank you.

Okay its been awhile since I used 2k3 sever. Using 2k8 lately but are you trying to use Terminal Server? and if your using 2k3 and you have ISA enabled I know it can be a pain to do port forwarding with it. But let me get this stright. You have no issues using XPs Remote Desktop to log into the server machines Terminal Server/Remote Desktop? Here is an idea. Whatever port your running Terminal Server/Remote Desktop type the IP Address with a : and port. IE 192.168.0.1:3000
Also if you would like you can PM the IP address of one of the Machines and I will try from my phone that I know is working with my machine. I am pretty sure you don't need to end a user name or password and it will bring me up to the login screen or you can make a temp account. On also on the Win2k3 machine I am pretty sure you have to add the option to login with Terminal Server even if its the Administrator account.
I am able to connect to my local XP machine over wifi using the ip addy/no port. Hostname (DNS) connection attempt failed, though. My 2k3 server's power supply died or I would test that for you.
No special router config (port fwd) for my device had been done.
The fact that you can't get to your local box on your local network is where I'd start.
Local Network Issues
Thanks again to you both...
I think that might be the problem -- the local network setup. I can connect via wifi, and browse the web. However, I can't install a network printer using the WinMo app that's included, and I can't seem get to the local PC even when I use the local IP instead of the DNS name. I did check, I'm being issued an IP address by the router (obviously), but still no dice on anything relating to network based traffic.
Is there a way to ping using WinMo? I'd like to be able to use that start.
Cont..
Also, I've noticed that I don't get the same error each time. Depending on which machine I'm trying to connect to, it'll give me an error with either two or three options as to why it's not working. Trying to figure out what that's telling me.
As far as Terminal Services are concerned, when I connect from the desktop, I believe I'm using Remote Desktop there (honestly, I haven't been paying attention -- I just use whatever pops up when I type 'mstsc' from the Run dialog, lol), and I can connect to the 2003 server. However, I can't play with this anymore today, because apparently the server is down, and I won't be able to get to it till Monday.
I think I'm going to go play with the ATT proxy and see if that changes anything. I think mine is still enabled because I read that it might help with the GPS problems...
I have found some freeware app... pocketping 1.6 and microsoft has a network tool offering which I am not sure will work on WM6. I have no exp. with either tool on WM.
Can you get to your http/https router mgmt interface from the device? Check your router's client table? Does your router have any logging capabilities?
Sorry, more questions than answers.
Router
I am able to "dial" into the router from my phone -- it shows the HTCP4600 in the clients table with an IP of 192.168.2.108 ... all good.
My logging on the router was disabled, but now it is enabled. What should I be looking for?
I think i'll try the pocketping...
Now make sure inside of the router then you have all the correct ports forwarded.
It should be port 3999 to 3999 On UDP and TCP and then your PC ip behind the firewall.
Pocketping, JETCET Print 5, and success
Here's the update:
Discovered that by disabling the AT&T proxy on the Fuze, I was finally able to connect to my network printer -- the Fuze doesn't have the drivers for my printer, but that's another thread.
So I was able to make my first IN-Network contact. Installed pocketping 1.6, and it's a very useful tool. I'm able to successfully ping the computers on my network now that the proxy is disabled -- an voila...I can also connect to my laptop on my own network! The main trick was to use the network IP address and not the DNS name.
Thanks to both of you who helped out.
So, I'm already getting tired of plugging into the USB every time I want to transfer file. Is there anyway to transfer file without using the hard wire? WLAN or bluetooth or any suggestion are welcome! Please show me how to do it though! (Because I tried and searched but can't figure it out!)
Thanks
The phone supports bluetooth FTP, which allows just what you're looking for, I would type up a description but im sitting on the floor typing on my phone.. so maybe someone else can But in a nutshell, pair the 2 devices, (both must support bluetooth ftp), set up a bluetooth ftp share on the phone thru the bluetooth settings app, connect to the phone over bt.
its notably slower than the usb2.0 transfer though.
bluetooth
beam file thru bluetooth from a laptop or pc. set your phone to discoverable under bluetooth settings and on your bluetooth enabled pc you should be able to right click a file and click on sent to... and bluetooth device should be an option. a new screen will show up where you can search for nearby bluetooth devices and the rest should be self explanatory, the default password should be 0000 unless you changed it. hope this helps. bluetooth is rather slow tho. i usually only use this method for small cab files. i use the usb cable or a sd card reader for bigger files.
Great! I finally figured it out. So I have to enable FTP on this phone. lol
Total Commander has a LAN plugin that'll allow you to access samba shares on other computers. should be much faster than transfers via bluetooth as it's done over wifi.
You can also use Activesync.

I can access shares on my computer without samba or Total Commander. I just use file explorer.
This is really easy-peasy.
All you have to do is connect your phone to your Wi-Fi network, and then go into the File Explorer.
Click Menu > Go To > Open Path > New Path...
In the dialog box, type in the path to the share on your PC (yes you need to share the location on your PC that you want your phone to be able to access), for instance;
\\mypc\sharename
Click OK
Now you will be able to browse the folders on your PC and transfer files to/from it to your heart's content, just like you were looking on your own phone's filesystem.
Happy file transferring! :O)
ur awesome!!!!
Need help
Jim,
I must be a bit thick. I have my network set up for file sharing, but when I followed your instructions, I get a Network Log On screen and I'm not sure what I need to enter. User name... Password.... Domain.... ????? I'm already logged on securely to my WiFi network, so I do not understand what I should be entering here.
Can someone help me out here?
Thanks very much.

Sounds like you need to enter your WINDOWS username/password to log in to your windows pc.
You may also need to create some shared folders on the windows pc if you have not already.
As mentioned, my network is already set up for sharing (among several systems) including specific drives and folders.
I already tried using my Windows username and password, without success, which is why I posted my question.
I'm still clueless.
I'd love to get this to work, but I'm not getting anywhere either.
I do have network shares set up.
I'm connected on wifi.
I go to file explorer->Menu->Open Path->New Path and put in \\Laptopt2310\test which is the computer I want to connect to and a shared folder on that computer.
I get a popup pointing to my wifi indicator saying cannot connect with current connection settings. To change your connection settings, tap Settings.
If I tap settings, it takes me to a connection set up where it says Verizon Wireless with some options under and My Work Network with some options under that.
The advanced tab has a box for select networks and I have Verizon Wireless in the Internet box and My Work Network in the private network box.
I don't want to touch anything there and screw things up.
It's almost like it's trying to do it over the phone's data connection and not wifi, but I did a quick speed test and at least the internet browser is definitely using the wifi connection.
Well, I figured out that I could also do this in resco and total commander.
Both of them connect fine on wifi. Not sure why file explorer doesn't, but I guess it doesn't really matter now.
What's the secret?
I also use Resco. Can you explain exactly what you did to make a successful connection?
Those of you still trying to use File Explorer, the username, password and domain should be your Windows username, Windows password and the name of your PC respectively.
If you don't get any joy using the PC name as the domain, or in the path dialogue, you can use the ip address instead - it may be that your network is having problems resolving names to ip addresses.
Trust me, it really does work, I've never had a problem using it at home on a perfectly bog-standard wi-fi network, with the shares on a Vista PC (it also worked with Windows 2000 before that).
Obviously, you have to be sure you're using your Wifi network and not GPRS / HSDPA.
Hope that helps!
Jim,
After some tinkering, I was successful in getting the Fuze on my network. What a great tip! Many, many thanks for sharing this with us.
No problem, happy to help.
I'm sure this is all in the manual somewhere ;O)
I can pair my phone with the computer through bluetooh, but in the bluetooth settings menu when i select my computer I only see 'Wireless Stereo' and 'Headset' as service. Is this because the laptop might not support bluetooth ftp? Its a new Lenovo T400 with built in bluetooth, I figure that should support it?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Don't bother with bluetooth, it's too much hassle, just use the File Manager over Wifi, it's far easier!
But what if I really do want to use bluetooth...?
When I view my bluetooth devices on the laptop I can click properties on my Touch Pro and see the following services: A2DP, Active Sync Bluetooth service, Dial-up networking, Headset audio gateway, Object Push (Obex)
On the phone I go Start->Settings->Connections->Bluetooth and then select my laptop that i'm tethered to and I only see Wireless Steroe, ActiveSync, and headset.
Am I missing drivers on one of the devices? It looks like its possible something wrong on the TP seeing how my vista laptop is listing obex as an option...
Any help is appreciated
When I go to set up RDP on my laptop, it asks for "Computer" & "User Name". Well I think I found my Computer's name - when you go to System and click the Remote tab, it displays: 'Full Computer Name' - so I *think* I'm set there (right?) My problem is that for "User Name", when click the Start button, at the top it says "Administrator". So when I fired up RDP on my phone and filled out the information, it came back with:
"Cannot connect. Likely reasons are: 1. Specified computer name or IP does not exist 2. A network error occured while establishing a connection"
I will say that I HAVE checked the Firewall Exception box that allows for Remote Access and I have also allowed users to connect via remote access through my System window on the Remote tab. What I HAVEN'T done, however, is anything in the way of port forwarding for 3389. I'm more than familiar with networking and working with routers, so that's not my issue. My issue is, if I'm supposed to forward a port to my IP address, how can I do that when all I can change is the last number:
http://img9.imageshack.us/my.php?image=portip4.jpg
1 - Is my user name being 'Administrator' a problem?
2 - How do I forward the ports, or work with this end of RDP? I've read about the DNS, but don't know exactly how to go about doing it.
I've been in my router before and changed some settings for the Xbox, so I don't think that has to do with DHCP on my local machine here, but correct me if I'm wrong. My question/problem is that this is set to "Automatic Configuration - DHCP"...
http://img232.imageshack.us/my.php?image=configbz4.jpg
...is this a problem? Do I need to change this at all, as in, get in contact with my ISP and go through this setup? Furthermore, if I DO end up having to change this, will it affect anything else on my network? Some people just said they checked the exceptions and logged in without configuring a DNS, so I'm wondering exactly what all I have left to change?
When you try to connect to your computer or laptop from the internet you'll need your public IP address. (not your computer name)
Go yo http://www.whatismyip.com/ on your computer at home.
Second, on your router you have to forward port 3389 to the local ip address from your computer.
Then from outside your home network you start RDP and connect to your public IP address. Your router then will forward that connection to your computer/laptop.

**EDIT**
Perfect, got it down 100%. Although as a side note.. does anyone know of a way to make the resolution/colors better? It works fine and all, but the picture is just a bit distorted with the colors all off.
I use Remote Administrator and I have found it to be the best! It will also allow you to use your native resloution that is set on the host PC you are connecting to whereas RDP won't and if you are tying to view remote camera's like I do or anything that has a specific resolution required, RDP will fail where Remote Admin will not.
The latest version is v.3.0 and it's only like $30 or even less if I remember correctly. A search of your favorite file dispensing forum may find a test version to try out and if I remember correctly, Radmin lets you use it for 30 days before you have to buy the reg key.
My original version V2.1 was upgradeable to V3.0 for free and works for Vista and allows me to connect to my PC at home which I still have v2.1 on.
It's a great app, real small and FAST!
There's also VNC which is similar to Radmin, but lacks the hidden view only mode... Great for keeping an eye on what the kids are doing on the internet without them knowing you are watching!
Hope this helps...
Hello there,
I have tried forwarding Remote desktop port on my router, I allowed connections from all users from control panel, I set the allowed number of connections to MAX. I have allowed remote desktop on all my firewalls. I have tried turning off all my firewalls and antivirus programs. I have tried connected from within my network using my wifi connection, and have tried using my data plan to connect remotely to my home pc. I tried having a password on my windows user account, and tried removing the password. I tried everything possible, computer name, local ip.. etc etc etc.
IT JUST NEVER WORKS. I tried searching for this problem, and found users that have had the same problem, their problem each time was left UNRESOLVED. everyone suggests stuff from the ones I listed above. Others have suggested using different applications for remove connection. but I WISH i can see the microsoft Remote desktop working!!!
I also have tried connecting to my windows 7 ultimate computer and to my windows xp home edition computer... same problem.
I had this working fine on my touch pro,
now Im using HD2 and it never worked for a second, I tried it soon as I got my phone from tmobile, I flashed 100000000000000 million different rooms after, still wouldn't work. I tried all the tweaks, adding a dot or a slash etc etc after the username, NOTHING worked,
Can someone please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any help is appreciated, and sorry for the long asnwer
What excactly do you want to do? Connect your PC remotely with Android??
or PC to PC?
In any case have you tried the app for Android "Logmein Ignition"?
hey, thanks for your reply.
Im not using android, Im using windows mobile on HD2. I tried different applications, web based and not, they don't work as well as ms remote desktop.
Please don't bite my head off if this repetitive to you. But this is something I posted on a model train site (yeah I play with trains what are you gonna do about it). Give a quick read and make sure your not skipping anything. Copied from post and full read is HERE.
To connect using Remote Desktop, you must have a user account with a password. If you don't yet have a password on your account, create a password by opening Control Panel, and clicking User Accounts. Click your account, click Create a password, and follow the prompts. After you have a password, follow these steps to enable Remote Desktop:
1.Right-click My Computer, and click Properties.
2.On the Remote tab, click the Allow users to connect remotely to this computer check box.
Close window.
Learn IP address of host computer (one with train software). To find this double click on the Network connection icon in the system tray,click the support tab. Or open your router's control panel, find the area that shows you the Attached Devices and copy down the number under IP.
Go to another computer on your network.
Go to Start/All Programs/Accessories/Remote Desktop Connection
In the computer box enter that IP address and click connect and you should know your password and specific user name.
Once you have established a computer to computer connection here are some mobile device instructions.You can use any Wifi enabled pocket pc or pda. Must have Remote Desktop Mobile installed (check programs folder).
Before you can connect using a mobile device Wifi connection must be established. After that find and launch "Remote Desktop Mobile" on your mobile device.
The Desktop Remote Mobile program is very basic. It shows Status : Not Connected and 4 blank boxes. This is what I put in them to get this to work, Careful with those automatic spaces after words!
Computer: The LOCAL ip address of the desktop computer you are trying to access. (Usually 192.168.#.#- the last 2 digits are specific to your computer.) To find this double click on the Network connection icon in the system tray,click the support tab. Or open your router's control panel, find the area that shows you the Attached Devices and copy down the number under IP.
User name: This is the user name on your train host computer that you setup in Winxp of the user you want to access.
Password: This is the password for that same user name. YOU MUST USE A PASSWORD. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE, SET ONE UP ON YOUR DESKTOP OR IT WILL NOT CONNECT.
See above.
Domain: Leave it blank
Click Connect.
I hope this will help....
good day.
How can I swear to you so you can believe that Ive done this ten million times over and over and over and over, and every time I'd be very careful not to miss anything.
I like playing with trains too btw haha
Thank you so much for your reply tho
I recetly bought an Asus tf700t and I am having problems connecting it to other computers on the network wirelessly. What I woud like to do is connect it to my Windows XP machine that is acting as my file server (and hardwired to the router) so that I can stream movies or access documents (text/spreadsheets/etc). I have tried using ES File Explorer, Astro (with the add on), MyCloud (with Splashtop installed on the machine), MyNet, and SharesFinder.
SharesFinder has been the only app to see the other devices (all hardwired) to see any of the other computers. I have searched several forums and seen others with this problem, but all have very poor explanations of the solutions (I NEED step by step by step instructons apparently). Asus tech support was USELESS (telling me that it was a software problem) and Best Buy (where I bought the tablet) wants to charge me with no guarentee of a solution.
I would like to say that my network is setup correctly since I can stream and share files with other devices but since they are all hardwired I didn't know if that was part of my problem. The tablet can connect to the internet with no problems.
Any point in the right direction would be GREAT! (And if you include instructions PLEASE include LOTS of details!)
If it's just for streaming, have you tried BS Player Free? I use that to connect to my desktop and stream stuff.
All you really have to do is make sure the stuff you want to share IS shared and then put the local ip in BS Player Free. It works almost the exact same way for ES File Explorer as it does for BS Player. I think I followed this guide:
http://www.howtogeek.com/120882/how...ders-and-stream-videos-over-wi-fi-on-android/
Still no luck
No luck...I'm sharing a folder on a Windows7 machine and several on my WindowsXP server. The two Windows machines can "talk" to each other. My wife's work laptop (not sure of the OS) can connect to either machine. Both my Blu Ray player and set top media box can access and stream media from both.
Tech support swears it's a software issue or an issue with my router but I'm not even 5% sure that they are right. I have tried SEVERAL different apps and configurations with no luck. I don't beleive it's a compatability issue since I have read numerous forum posts/websites where people have their Asus tablet connecting to and sharing files with WindowsOS computers.
Should I call back tech support and have them send me a new tablet?
That sounds very strange... Do you have any other Android you can test it with? It seems like you have tried almost everything I can think of. The only thing left I can think of, is the way the folder is shared. Are you sure it is set to "everyone"?
That is all I can think of, sorry.
Thanks for your help..I think I'm going to call Asus and see if they'll warranty this one or buy it back. Too frustrated to want to continue messing with it.
I'd assume that Asus sees no defect here. If you install and run Overlook Fing, can you see the other devices in your network?
Overlook fing sees everythng but my apple devices...now what?

OK, that proves that it is indeed a software problem, that the tablet is not defective, and that your network configuration seems to be correct.
So if some app does not work as expected, state exactly what you did, what you expected, and what happened instead, including any error messages - maybe someone is then able to help you.

1.) SharesFinder
Scan network (finds shares I am looking for)
Smb client Ip: (IP address of computer with files)
Username: (name I login to that computer with)
Password: (password)
failed to connect: 0.0.0.0<00>/(ip address I entered above)
2.) ES File Explorer
LAN Shares - scan - Nothing appears
If I manually enter LAN server - Domain: (blank)
Server: (IP address of computer with files)
Username: & Password: (Same as above)
Login failure. This may be cause by WiFi is off (Can connect to internet wirelessly), SMB server is out of network scope, The IP address is invalid, Blocked by the Firewall (have tried with all but the router's firewall off), SMB service is off
If I try as anonymous or guest or with a domain - same results
3.) MyNet
Please turn on DLNA-enabled devices within the same Wi-Fi network - I'm streaming to my Blu Ray with one as I type this but nothing shows up
4.) MyCloud
Pulls up Splashtop remote but no files, computers, or other network devices (I have installed and running)
5.) Overlook fing
This sees all my non-Apple network devices but not sure how I can connect using it
6.) Astro File Manager w/ SMB Module
Scan Local Network - No Windows shares found on network
7.) Teamviewer
Works for remote control of computer but not what I am looking to do
Still having issues...anybody have some ideas?
I can only tell you that I tried SharesFinder and ES File Explorer, and both work for me (with a Linux Samba server on the other side). Which firmware version are you on?
First, I would like to thank everyone for their help with my problem. I really appreciate it.
Last night I went home and re-evaluated my setup. Here is what I found:
My Windows7 desktop, WindowsXP desktop, Blu Ray, HP printer and Roku can all "talk" to each other and are hardwired to my Netgear router or switch connected to the router. I also have a WindowsXP laptop that can "talk" to the other computers, but only when hardwired to the router. All my wireless devices can connect to the internet, but cannot access network reseources or "talk" to the hardwired devices.
So, it looks like I have an issue with my wireless network setup. None of the desktops or printer have wireless cards. Do they need to have wireless cards in order to be able to connect with other wireless devices? Can I setup my router to handle this and use it as an access point for my wireless devices?

Dag...have you tried forgetting the network on the Asus and then establishing it again?
How about resetting the router - pulling the plug not a full reset.
That's about all I can think of....
I was having an issue where only the android devices (all wireless) COULD see my shared files/folders on a wired PC. Other wired/wireless PCs could NOT. Lucky for me just a reboot to that PC took care of the issue.

On your Netgear router, under wireless setup...."uncheck" wireless isolation & apply
You could use Plex, wich works really well :fingers-crossed:
Okay...now I feel stupid. Wireless isolation was checked on the wireless network my tablet was using to connect to my LAN. Thanks for the help!
