internet VPN on Surface RT? - Microsoft Surface

I heard that some users can't use VPN for something called Cisco, I don't know what it is. But I am currently working in China and they have The Great Firewall which doesn't allow me to use youtube, google half assed, and a VERY slow and sometimes not working Gmail.
I use a VPN from the States to get around this on my laptop. Can I do that with the Surface RT as well?
I remember the VPN company had me download something to run my VPN but I don't know if I actually use it or just use the windows setup. I have Windows 8 developer preview still on my laptop.
thanks,

Hello,
"Standard VPN" connections work like a charm on Surface... but if you need to install any aditional software it won't work as you can't use standard x86 apps.
hope this helps.

Hi, I am using Astrill VPN provider for simillar reasons and although it also comes with a client that allows you to select a server to connect to, they have a list of servers on the web page that you can use with the standard VPN in Windows RT - it works like a charm, no client needed!

I don't know if I need to install that or not. Because I never actually open that file to run the VPN. I just start it up through Windows using the address and password they give me. I don't know what I am doing but somehow it works and I can access youtube.
Thank you!

I'm new in the forum and can't post links, but you can go to wiki dot astrill dot com and search "astrill setup manual for windows 8" you will find how to do it there.

i know u can install say xp on ur mac using bootcamp and do it that way too. i know other though will tell u how to do stuff in osx. im pretty sure u will have to do bootcamp to flash to new roms but im sure u can sync with osx. i haven't used a mac yet but i plan on getting a mac book pro once i have saved up enough for one.
im sure others with macs will provide some feedback too soon.
Or just use VMware, install ActiveSync under windows there and forward your USB port to WMware. Don't know if it works under OS X, but USB forwarding works well under WinXP with VMware workstation 5/6.
Im interested in this as well. I dont want to install xp on my machine as I got the mac to get away from everything pc.
Mac users should try SyncMate from Eltima. Its free, but still in Beta stage. I got it to work just fine with a Kaiser.

Remote Connection

Hi guys,
I've flashed my phone with the .405 euro firmware however seem to have lost remote desktop, does anyone know where this will be or how I can find the cab and reinstall it?
Many thanks.
You have this one:-

or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425627&highlight=remote+desktop
but i haven't tried either yet.
Let me know how you get on plz
ta m8,
The real windows remote desktop is definitely best because windows will scale all your windows and is really responsive, however you may have concurrent login issues if you try to use your pc at the same time!
The other is more like VNC where you view an existing login, however that then begs the question why not use a mobile VNC program as it's well established and more supported. I'd say the good thing about omnipresence is it attempts to use touchflow navigation concepts but at the moment the response is slow, could be good in the future though.

That might explain, that when I try and remote onto my PC it tells me the UN or PW is incorrect. (I know it isn't).. Is this because I'm logged in?
It should log you out on your pc when you try to connect i think

How did you have to hack Vista plz.. I'm also using that OS, so might be the same problem?
I'm useing RDM+ instead from Shape service.
Much simpler and no need to configure and firewalls.. downside is that it aint free. But then again it's a one time fee, all other upgrades are free.
lots of functions too like file upload and download. And the person that is online dosen't get log out.
Imo it's a really good application.
Again either using RDT or Logmein.com , It says user name or password incorrect.
I know its not, coz thats what I use to log into the system!!!
Any ideas, this is a real puzzler1

How to easly control pc via ppc

So i need an app with which i will be able to easily control my pc via my htc diamond(i need this for 3g and wifi)
is there any app that can do this..it will be good that it is simple to configure?
OS: Windows7 Ultimate
WinMoOS:6.5.1
Hope somebody can help me
Hi,
you can use remotedektop normally installed on every rom.
On Pc you have to allow Port 3389 in the firewallsettings and a user belonging to remotedesktopuser-group.
Using Wlan both devices have to be in the same ip-range (normally distributed by a router), i.e 192.168.2.x and 192.168.2.y. Then you can use it by naming the target computer in the rdp-tool. (if it doesn´t work, use the target-ip)
Using 3g you should have a static ip-address or your router should have the ability to communicate with i.e. DynDNS. In the configurationtools of the router you map Port 3389 to the target computer which should have a static, internal ip.
Edit: RDP-user must have a password, administrator-user is always allowed to use RDP.
That´s all

It's not for free, but it's not that expensive (and the client is free) and works very well PhonemyPC (find it in the market), works on Windows only though. I had set it up in like 5 mins, works with multitouch zoom, trackball support etc...
AndroidVNC and RemoteVNC. Both free, both on the market. They work well with the TightVNC server I have running on my desktop at home. I have both installed, because it's slightly easier to do certain things with one or the other.
Well i do remote assistance with Teamviewer. And in case of doign it from mobile phone i use Remote Desktop to connect to my server and from there teamviewer Just tried it today, with only having Droid for 3 days are already see it was the right decision, for things like that, RDP clients for windows mobile suck.
How do you use Teamviewer with android phones?

What CommanderThor did was he would remote in with his Andriod via Remote Desktop then thru that he would run Teamviewer. So essentially running a remote desktop thru another remote desktop. I'v been looking for a Teamview app for andriod as well
Is Remote Desktop a program that allows me to access my home PC via my phone? I would like to control my home PC while I am out of town to launch the home browser and email myself files.
I use to use LogMeIn for this when I had Windows Mobile
LogMeIn is for Android too

I went ahead and bought the pocket wyse. It was half the price.
The 2X client will connect to your RDP natively. Its also free. No need to buy the special app/client software anymore.
Thanks Babcocca

Best VNC like app for HD2 ?

Looking for a VNC app for Windows Mobile wich can acces the Pc by the phone ?
What progs are out there ?
It should come with Remote Desktop already installed. That works a treat
yeah how does that work exactly because I didn't really got that working, should I run an application on the PC aswell?
Well i think soo!
The app is there for iphone for example! so there should be a simular to WM ?
I havnt yet found any app, thats why im here
You have to enable remote desktop connections on your PC and then the remote desktop app that comes as standard on your phone will work. This has been a basic function for WM phones for a long time.
(You will also need to allow traffic on port 3389 through your firewall, if you have one.)
This version works fine for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445903
I use .netvnc app (cannot post link but google it its first hit)
You have to ENABLE it for a GIVEN login ID on your PC. You will be prompted for this ID when you use the RDC app on the HD2

i have aproblem with keyboard! How can i open it in full screen mode?
Thanks mate i will now read and try
can you post a link please?
Hi,
I have the same problem with keyboard. When I enter Full screen I cannot activate it or go out of fullscreen mode.
Is it possible to connect with higher resolution than 800 x 480 ?
Is there any alternative client ?
iPhone with jaduu or mocha vnc is great. Why there is no good software for HD2 :/ ?
Hi, im new here.
Using remote desktop has a few problems. Especially the fact it has no keyboard. Also sound is missing. Another problem is that the remote desktop installed to basic editions if windows (on the pc) does not support remote server, it can only be used as a client to another pc. I found a patch someone on this forum made than can get around this problem. But despite the fact mine connects fine, i rarely use it as it has very little functionality!
If it is important that you can connect to your pc i hear vnc is much better for it as it has full functionality. Dont know if there is a similar free version available as vnc is about £50.
hooope this helps buddy
Keyboard: use the on-screen-keyboard or a BTK with your HD2, works like a charm.
Resolution: Fairly sure the answer is no.
Why use vnc when you have RDC, its waaaaay better.
VNC does not limit resolution. That makes RDP useless for me :/
There is another solution but I have not tried it yet
Z2 Remote2PC I will try it today

Can anybody start this java app -- VNC+ ?? I only get "press any key" and keyboard doesn't do the trick :/
website
rdmplus . com / vnc
I have tested GRemote Pro .. but cant get it working, and its Damnnnnnn slow
Real NVC havnt found one yet? can any one link?
The Bulit in software in hd2 .cant get it to connect to my pc (No damn good spet by step guide )
