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.
As I understand it, the built in wifi router functionality only lets you connect one device at a time.
Are there any other applications about for windows mobile that allow you to connect two devices at once?
Thanks
It's not possible to share the WiFi connection to more than one client.
Even desktop computers can't do it (except through a combination of Windows 7, new hardware, and Connectify).
look at walking hotspot (costs around $25), think you can try before you buy.

purports to support multiple connections
may need to check with them re HD2 connectivity, worked on Kaiser
You can use this one :

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.

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!
its work

When I connect more than two android devices to my wireless network, internet access is available on only one of them at the same time. When other non android devices like a laptop are connected, I do not have a problem connecting a single android device with them, but when two or more android or apple devices are connected, the internet just works on any one of them randomly. The other devices are still shown connected to the wifi network but I cannot access the internet on them. Please help.
