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 have the HTC HD2 and want to use the remote desktop which is build in the phone. The problem is that i have no clue how to set up my pc.
Im running on windows xp home edition and using a router. I saw a tutorial for setting it up where he basically told me to open a port and it works. After doing that it didnt work and i suspect there are some things not explained in the tutorial... Can anyone help me out on this?
Will not work on XP Home.
Ah i kinda had that feeling, im trying the same thing on my laptop which is windows xp proffesional. But i still cant log in. I also enabled the "allow remote"
Have you activated "Allow remote assistance" or did you activate "Allow connections" ? The latter is the one you need. Also make sure you're in the list of allowed users.
Doing this off the top of my head, I'm using Vista and it's been a while since I've needed to go into those options in XP.
You must have a password set too, so if the computer boots up and goes straight to your desktop without you having to log in, you'll need to set a password.
To access your computer when on the same network (wifi) use the computer's IP address.
Get this by running cmd on the computer and type ipconfig (then hit return).
To access your computer via the internet (over the phone network) use the computer's external IP address.
Get this by going to whatsmyip.org
You'll also need to configure your router to forward TCP port 3389 to the computer's IP address (found via ipconfig as above).
The thing is, with most home broadband connections, your external IP address can change, so get around this problem by using dynamic DNS.
Some routers have a DDNS client built in, with a list of compatible DDNS services. Just go to one of those services' websites and sign up, often it's free. Pick an domain name to register, ie p03p.dyndns.org, and use that to connect rather than your external IP address.
Best to check you can connect via wifi first using the computer's internal IP address.
If that doesn't work, are you running a firewall?
If you don't have a 3rd party one like Symantec/Norton, then check the windows firewall - ensure the Remote Desktop exception is ticked, if it is, then disable the firewall, and also untick the network connections on the advanced tab (even though the windows firewall says it's disabled, don't expect it to know that!).
If you use a 3rd party firewall, then look into how you can add a rule for port 3389 (RDP)
One way to get around the issue of a dynamic IP address on the home PC is to use Himachi2....it's a super-simple way to create a tunnel to your home pc no matter what the ever-changing external IP address is, and they have a winmo client now too. You simply set up the host once on your home PC, and as long as you leave it running it's very easy to create the remote connection just like you're on the local network with the PC....then you just use Remote Desktop that way
I ticked both the allow options just to be sure. What i also did is go on my 2nd laptop which also has windows xp pro on it to try and connect to my 1st laptop which also didnt work.
I think the problem lies in the list of allowed user. When i get into that list i dont see anyone in it. I assume i have to add my 2nd laptop in that list in order to get this to work. I tried to look a bit arround but i dont know how to add someone to that list.
I have given up on working out VPN to my home network so I am giving SSH with ConnectBot a go. I can SSH to my home PC through my modem firewall ok now using key passwordless login (safest I understand) but I can't work out port forwarding.
Is it even possible to tunnel certain ports through my home Ubuntu PC using SSH? I want to access local web servers without opening them out on the Internet, for example sanzbd using the nzbair app or my other home media devices, web cams, etc.
I don't feel comfortable opening anything out on the Internet, even SSH makes me nervous although I understand it is fairly secure using key based log combined with a modem firewall and IDS, so I'd like to access my home network but securely.
I understand SSH is the next best option to VPN. But I can't find any guides.
I also have dyndns set up on my modem so (once that propagates I assume) I should be able to reliably SSH to my home PC.
I am very tired, so I'm sorry if this post is absolutely wrong.
I'm 90% certain you'd want to setup squid on your ubuntu box, so you can proxy through. Then connect with connectbot and then set up a portforward to send all port 80 traffic through on whatever port you got squid running on.
I think that should be at least a decent starting place.
Yeah I agree. I have the port tunelling working for sabnzbd now even if it's a bit flakey (drops out sometimes or the port forward can't be created).
So I'll read up on Squid and enable that on my home PC. That may cover a lot of general traffic from my phone too. I imagine a lot of apps use HTTP.
Hi.
Im not 100percent sure that my question is related to android, but i think it is..
I have an android phone (zte blade). And i use mobile internet on it.
I have a Desktop with windows operating system. The desktop is connected to internet by only one means which is my android phone through Wifi hotspot.
I have Vuze(Azureus) installed on windows. The problem is Vuze never gets the incoming tcp / udp ports opened i think. The torrent stays on yellow mark all the time. If i make a NAT/Firewall test from vuze it reports an error saying connection is refused.
I checked out windows firewall and it allows vuze. I even turned off the windows firewall and the NAT/Firewall test still shows error.
So, the possible issues are EITHER my ISP has restricted the ports OR my android phone is blocking the ports (iptables). Im using Cyanogenmod7.2-recent nightly and it has iptables (i checked through terminal emulator)
And vuze website lists the ISPs that block the ports, and mine is not in their list. So the only issue i think is with my android iptables.
I scanned for opened ports with an android app. The vuze specific port is not open, but i think the scan is for the android os, and may or maynot be same for windows depending on how the Wifi hotspot works.
And i request your help only regarding android issue.
My QUESTIONS...
-- Is the android phone acting as router when we use wifi hotspot to share its internet.
-- Is my PC getting direct access to internet or is it going through the iptables of android.
-- how to deal with ports with iptables on android phone. Please give me commands or an easy way.
Bump.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone has ever successfully made PDAnet working for virtual machines? I have Mac OSX yosemite with PDANet installed, and i wanted to give my guest VM (running CentOS 6.5 inside VirtualBox) internet access because it requires dependencies to be installed over the net.
Has anyone been able to get this working? I fiddled around with the different networking options on my VirtualBox config, but I had no luck. I figured Bridge Networking on the USB would work.
Tethering with a Moto X, which sends internet correctly on Mac OSX Yosemite.
Yes it will work
The most you would need to do is make sure that you have it installed on your Mac set up your VM network and choose bridge connection that will allow your host(mac) to give access to your guest(Centos). I have done this several times and it works without fail.
