Remote Desktop on Windows 7 (For Mobile and PC)

Creating an incoming VPN connection on Host Computer
1. Go to Control Panel and open Network and Sharing Center.
2. Click on Change adapter settings

}
3. Press Alt+F and select New Incoming connection…
4. Put a check on who you’d like to give access to this computer or you can configure a new account by clicking on Add someone… Click on Next.
Click this bar to view the full image.
5. Put a check mark on Through the Internet. Click on Next.
6. Select the protocols you want to enable for this connection. Click on Allow access.
Tip: Default selections (Recommended): Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks and QoS Packet Scheduler. You should have at least TCP/IPv4 selected to successfully accept connections. Highlight the protocols for their descriptions.
A) To allow the client access your LAN resources, highlight Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties. Put a check mark on Allow all callers to access my local area network. Here you can have the IP assigned automatically, assign IPs following your LAN segment format or let the client assign its own IP address.
7. Take note of the Computer name as this will be used by the client to connect to this computer. Click on Close.
8. You will now have the Incoming Connections icon in Network Connections. Your computer is now ready to accept incoming VPN connections.
Important: Configure your firewall to allow access to TCP port 1723 to allow incoming Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) connection for VPN.
Router Configuration: Enable PPTP and Generic Route Encapsulation (GRE) on the Router. Depending on the type of router, you need to either enable PPTP or create a port forward to port 1723. If you’re router has an additional setting for PPTP or VPN, make sure it’s enabled. It’s usually called a “pass-through” setting (i.e. PPTP pass-through or VPN pass-through)

Creating an outgoing VPN connection on Client Computer
1. Go to Control Panel and open Network and Sharing Center.
2. Click on Set up a new connection or network.
3. Select Connect to a workplace then click on Next.
4. Select Use my internet connection (VPN)
5. Type the IP address or computer name where you wish to connect and your connection name under the Destination name field.
A) If connecting on a local resource or a LAN computer, you can type its computer name or IP address. The computer name shown here is taken from the previous tutorial Virtual Private Network (VPN) - Enable Incoming VPN Connections.
B) If connection to a computer behind a router and DNS is enabled using the computer’s name, put that in the Internet address field. If no DNS has been configured, type in your router’s IP address.
C) This section allows you to enable the use of a smart card, allow other users of your computer to access this connection and an option to disable immediate connection upon finishing the client setup.
6. Enter a User name and password that has been granted access to the host computer. If you put a check mark on the Show password field, it will display your password instead of dots. You can also choose to save your password and enter a Domain.
A) If you did not put a check mark on Don’t connect now, just set it up so I can connect later in Step 5, you will see a Connect button. Clicking on Cancel will discard all your settings. Clicking on Connect initiates the connection and you will see the following screens
Then…
NOTE: Upon successful connection, you will be prompted to classify the VPN connection as a Home, Work or Public Connection.
B) If you did place a check mark on Don’t connect now, just set it up so I can connect later in Step 5, you will see a Create button. Clicking on Cancel will discard all your settings. Click on Create.
7. To connect to using the created VPN connection, you can either right-click on the Network icon in the system tray and select Network and Sharing Center or go to Control Panel and open Network and Sharing Center, and click on Connect to a network.
A) This will bring up a window on the lower right hand corner of your monitor, just above the system tray. Click on VPN Connection and a Connect button will be shown. Click on Connect.
8. Connect VPN Connection windows appears. Clicking on Connect initiates the connection. Clicking on Properities allows you to modify the VPN Connection Properties as well as configure connection sharing.
Creating an outgoing VPN connection on Client PDA
1. Go to Start/Settings/Connection
2. Add a new VPN connection
3. Click on the VPN tab (incase you missed it in step 2 )
4. Create a new VPN Connection and supply the VPN's name and IP Adress.
5. Choose the Protocol
6. Supply the Username and Password you created earlier on the Host computer
7. click Finish
8. Now click-hold on the connection you created and click Connect (you can check the connection status on the Host Computer to see the VPN connection works).

Creating a Remote Desktop Host on Host Computer
1. Go to Start/Control Panel/System/Remote Settings
2. Choose the 3rd option.. "Allow only users..."
3. Click on Select Users
4. Now, you can either add a new User with a new password to connect from
or you can add a password to your existing user. Anyways, you'll have to have a password to one of the users on your comp, otherwise you won't be able to connect. You should also remember that the user should be an admin so that you can read/write using remote desktop.
A. to add a new user go to Start/Control Panel/User Accounts and select Manage Another Account and then Create a New Account (don't forget a password).
B. to add a password to your existing User Account go to Start/Control Panel/User Accounts and select Create a password...
5. Now that you've created a user and a password, you can go back to Select Users (Step 3) and select the user you've created.
Go to Add and write the name of the user you created and click on Check Names. Choose the user and apply all changes.

(Of course, you will have to be connected to the VPN first in both cases (Mobile and PC).. but since you already created the VPN connection.. it's all good )
Cheers

Great info, thanks a lot!

my HTC HD don't connects

I dont see why creating a VPN connection between the client and the host is necessarry at all. You can simply connect to the host PC via an RDP client if both machines are connected to the internet (or are on the same LAN), incoming remote connections are enabled on the host, and the host accepts connections on port 3389 (i.e. not blocked by the router).

this is meant to be more a business type of connection, considering a lot of companies require connecting to the domain before being able to use RDP.

The VPN setup is superfluous, all that's needed is to make sure remote desktop is enabled and port 3389 is punched through on the router and system firewall.
No real business, especially one with a domain, is going to run a VPN server off a client operating system such as Windows 7. If a VPN server exists it's off a dedicated hardware device or server operating system. Client OSes limit themselves to 10 unique connections, hardly suitable for any sizable business.
I personally run an OpenVPN server on a Server 2008 computer. OpenVPN is a very robust and powerful VPN that can work over port 443 SSL which makes it ideal for connection from locations that may have outgoing ports blocked, since as far as the firewall is concerned the VPN connection is just regular HTTPS traffic. And yes, there's a free OpenVPN client for Windows Mobile that works just fine.

Any way to make this work via bluetooth?

Ok. I tried this but some how it's not working for me.

Basically Win 7 Home Premium, which is what most have, does not allow for remote desktop hosting. It was purposly removed you can only use it as a client, thus able to control another pc, but not able to control your win 7hp one. i will test this later might be a work around that can work using vpn.

Thanks. I tried the remote desktop. Very nice.

This is very good Tutorial, thanks

A dumb question... What the router settings should be?
External Port: ?
Internal Port: 1723
To IP Address: my local network IP?
Thanks for a hint.
P.S. ATM I have a port forwarding set 80 -> 9080 due to Remote Potato Server (MCE 7W remote access)

Anyone pls?

Question about stealth tethering using WMWifiRouter on Sprint TP2 (WM6.5)

For the past couple of days, I've been reading numerous threads on how to tether on Sprint's Touch Pro 2 (Stock WM6.5). I ultimately decided to go with the latest WMWiFiRouter program trial (I'll purchase it if it works out good.) What I am confused about is, do I need to install the ICS_and_WModem_Fix.cab prior to installing WMWifiRouter, so that I can stealth tether? I don't want Sprint charging me. Also, do I need to do any of the reg edits if I plan on using WMWifiRouter? Thanks!

Nope just install and go. I've tested with the stock rom and it worked great.

AstainHellbring - I'll take your advice and install only the WMWifiRouter without installing any of the cabs. Thank you sir!

If this helps I've used wmwifirouter for a year or so on my verizon tp2 and I used USBmodem before that on my HTC Touch and never got charged anything for either, I'm guessing it'd be the same thing for sprint.

I was able to tether using the 3G to Wifi connection, without any issue. However, I am somewhat confused as to the steps to follow when tethering via 3G to USB. I don't have ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center on my laptop. Is it necessary to install this in order to tether using a 3G to USB (wired) connection with WMWifiRouter? I tried to tether (without running ActiveSync) this way by first starting the 3G to USB connection. After it finished loading and was ready to connect, I connected the USB cable from my phone to the laptop and Windows7 automatically loaded the RNDIS drivers. A connection was established and it allowed me to tether. What I'm confused about is, what am I supposed to select on the phone when it prompts me, (ActiveSync, DiskDrive or Internet Sharing)? And would selecting that option allow me to tether stealth? Lastly, when stopping the service, do I stop the tether from the program first and then disconnect the cable from the laptop or is there something else I need to do?

activesync or mobile device center is required to use wmwifirouter as it contains the drivers needed (vista and 7 have the MDC drivers and backend included, the extra thin gyo uinstall is just the GUI frontend)
when the dialog pops up asking if you want activesync, disk drive or internet sharing it doesnt matter what you choose, wmwifirouter will override the choice with its own connection
as for disconnecting, ive never had any issues with any means of disconnection (IE unplugging first or closing the app first)

Thank you defaultdotxbe. So if my laptop is running Windows 7, I don't need to install ActiveSync/Mobile Device Center since Windows 7 has the MDC drivers and backend included? If so, I guess that explains why I was able to tether without ActiveSync.
Personally, I noticed that the speed is higher when tethering with the USB cable compared to Wifi tethering. The phone also seems to get less warm.
Have any of you guys been able to compare the speed/stability tethering via USB using WMWifiRouter compared to USB tethering with the built in ICS?

the biggest difference ive found is that whenever the connection is lost with ICS you can reconnect the app, with wmwifirouter is automatically goes back to waiting for connection and reconnects without me having to do anything
and it gets less warm because just the cellular radio is going with USB, with wifi cellular and wifi are going (which also drains the battery faster)
wifi is nice when you just want to jump on for 5 minutes and look something up real quick, with USB im able to tether for 12 hours straight and still have 100% battery when im done

Don't try pushing the connection too hard then because mine dies/overheats a few times a day because I have it connected (usb) to my computer 24/7 for torrents... I've even tried putting a fan directly on the battery and it still locks up/dies at least twice a day.
Papaprem when it asks you how to handle the phone you don't have to do anything it will close on it's own in a few seconds.

em0rox, youre right, it does close on its own. Only problem is, it was using the stock IntShr.exe instead of the IntShrUI.exe file. The stock IntShr.exe file doesnt have the Network Connection selection box for Sprint/Phone As Modem. It just has the PC Connection box for USB or Bluetooth. Here is what I mean:
IntShr -

I basically had to make a copy of IntShrUI and rename it to IntShr.exe. Then I overwrote the stock IntShr.exe file with the renamed one. Now everything is good.

never had an issue, i dont use it for torrents or anything heavy though, just typical web browsing without having to worry about my office's proxy blocking me
i have occasionally had it overheat, but never lock up or anything (the LED flashes green and orange and the battery wont charge, i unplug it for a few mins and plug it back in and all is well)

Why bother with WMWiFiRouter when the HTC Wi-Fi Router program works just as well (and doesn't cost a thing)?

WMWifiRouter also allows USB and Bluetooth connections. It doesn't require any regedits also.

Tether Xoom to Blackberry?

Simply want to know if I can tether my Blackberry 9700 with an unlimited data plan to the Motorola Xoom I just pre-ordered.
Anyone here with a Blackberry been able to do this so far?
Any help or a point in the right direction would be great! Thanks in advance!

Well the Blackberry can tether over bluetooth, right? There's a huge thread on how to tether over Bluetooth.

I did see that thread and go through all 8 pages. There was one mention of a BB but there was no confirmation of it working on the Xoom.
Any information about this is welcome. If it connects over BT that's awesome!

The Xoom definitely has been confirmed to tether over Bluetooth from Android and iPhones, but I'm not 100% on BB. Don't know why it wouldn't though.

I'm interested in this as well. But unfortunately I can never get my xoom to connect to my BB torch, although it pairs fine.

From what I read, once it pairs you should see a "Wrench" symbol in the Xoom next to where you see the BB. What happens when you hit that?

The real problem with trying to BT tether the xoom with a bb (I tried with my bold 9700) is that the DUN (Dial-Up Networking) profile is not recognized/supported between the xoom and the bb. This specific kinf of bluetooth profile/protocpl is what allows you to use the phone as a modem by dialing the "data" number (ex *99***1# on GSM phones)...until someone creates a bt dun application for the android, I don't think it will be possible to bt tether the xoom to the bb.

Don't know if this will work for the Xoom, but this is apparently the Blackberry to Ipad tethering process (let me know if this works, btw):
I’m not a Blackberry user at all, but I thought this was interesting as RIM still sells a heck of a lot of phones I’m sure there are a lot of iPad users who own Blackberry’s. A user of just such a combo on the Crackberry Forums came up with a method to tether a Jailbroken iPad to his Blackberry. It doesn’t give you quite 3G speeds, but some internet is better than none!
NOTES
This will not give you 3G speeds. Bluetooth DUN using PDAnet gives about 50kB/s. Faster than edge, but half as fast as 3G. Thats fine by me, as I won’t have to pay for additional data plan to verizon.
If you are being redirected to verizon website, ensure that ‘dial up networking’ is disabled in your blackberry bluetooth options.
These instructions are for Verizon, for directions on other mobile carriers, please go here for reference.
Requirements
Jailbroken iPad
Blackberry phone (tested with blackberry storm 9530)
ibluever: Install from Cydia (you can try the demo for free. if demo works, ensure to uninstall before installing paid release)
PDAnet: PdaNet — Use your BlackBerry as a USB Modem (click ‘install pdanet 1.30′ only)
1. Run ibluever from your iPad
2. Click ‘ON’ You should be able to see your phone
3. Click on blue arrow of your device to edit the following fields
pin code: 0000 (or any combination of numbers)
dial number: #777 (for verizon wireless)
chat script: default non GPRS (refer to link at bottom for reference as to what options to choose)
Authentication: On
Sniff Mode: Off
Waiting SDP: On
4. Go to your blackberry bluetooth options menu and DISABLE ‘dial up networking’ and click save

6. Open ibluever from your iPad, select your blackberry device and run
7. You should now see two icons on upper right status bar of your iPad and be able to access the web.

You may need this installed on the XOOM:

I will try both methods once the Xoom arrives. Doing some more research I came across this app, http://tether.com/blackberry/download
Does anyone have experience with this app in particular?

PDAnet is essentially a client that would need to be run on both devices to create a BT DUN profile. Currently, PDAnet for android is designed as the "server" end of the client to pipe its own 3G internet to a laptop. As far as I know, there is no PDAnet "client" for android devices. It basically looks like CobaltBlue does the same thing as PDAnet.

I have NO IDEA if the following post that I found on amazon is in ANY WAY related to the tethering problem but here you go:
This keyboard was tested with Galaxy Tab and Motorola Xoom. It works with both. It works with any device that uses HID bluetooth profile. It will not work with devices that use SPP bluetooth profile. Blackberry and many android phones use SPP profile. So, you need to check with the manufacturer before buying the keyboard.

It is related to a BT keyboard (obviously) but since it states different BT connection profiles maybe someone else can use this information and see whether it might help with the tethering problem.

Okay so I got a chance to experiment today. You're super right. Anyone know of a "client" for Android to use with PDAnet on BB.
Any other methods of accomplishing tether is welcome!

You can bluetooth tether it. Just sync the devices, go to the xoom and click the lil wrench after they are conneted and select tethering.
Edit (Forget this post, this is how i tether my MT4G to Xoom. Dont know if this will work with BB)

Does anyone know how to get CobaltBlue. I live in the US and when I try to downland it for my Xoom, it says not available for my carrier.

No go on my BB 9630. After pairing, on the BB under the bluetooth device properties for the xoom, the only available services are Voice Gateway, OBEX Object Push, and AVRCP TG.
I'm a Tether for BB owner as well. I noticed people expressing interest in the forums at tether.com, but as of yet, no client-side piece for android. Maybe if more of us go there and express interest he'll make it higher on his priority list.

I know somewhere in the world it probably caused a YouTube kitten to die, but I successfully tethered my laptop to my blackberry, then used connectify.me to fake an ad-hoc on my laptop and connected to it with my MZ604.
I feel like I need a shower.

But will the xoom connect to an ad-hoc wireless signal without the wireless patch/hack? My suspicion is no....

No, but that's an android limitation, not a Xoom limitation. Iirc it was android bug id 84 or 86 or something. But connectify.me is free and dead simple to use.

I have tried using PDANet on BB9700 on AT&T and without any modifications on BB (as mentioned in this thread - disabling Dial Up networking) does not work. Clicking on the wrench on the Xoom does not bring up the Tether option.
The CobaltBlue app mentioned above does not install from the market. Will try to side load that. Will also try by disabling the Dial up networking option in BB and post results.

any body help us ...

Your barking up the wrong tree --
reverse tether is what your need to do - it is not complex just google around a bit.

I have googled around, but just found no more than what mohamadfar has found.

I google all about android and adhoc, but not find ...
I think google or developers most solved this problem by a patch.

Reverse tethering is the keyword. Google didnt post any? Im sure it will.

dude -
on the pc turn on connection sharing for Internet connected interface.
tether phone to pc
delete the default route on pc pointing to phone
add a default route to phone pointing to pc and you are done.
There is a base level of knowledge assumed in the above directions, if you can't figure it out - try it again later..

Try BZEEK Its really good, I Use it quite often and it really works well for me!

u should change the title to solved

It is said that using win7 instead of XP can perfectly solve this problem, but my laptop is too old for win7. Bzeek creates an ad-hoc connection, I used a software which also creates one, but my device can't find it. WiFi Manager can find it, but it says "Android does not support connecting to Ad-Hoc(IBSS) type networks".

No problem mate! Even I tried searching so hard for what you were looking out for, tried everything but only this worked, It seems that connectify & virtual router don't work with intel Wi-fi chipsets which I guess is the most common one...

it works on some htc and galaxy s i9000 and other old galaxy s models

BZEEK & connectify & virtual router don't work with my Vaio loptop (LAN-Express AS IEEE 802.11g PCI-E Adapter)
Ad-hoc is most problem of android. Plz help ...

If you are using Windows 7, you can use a hidden feature called HostedNetwork which essentially does the required thing, Creating a virtual wifi router. This functionality is in Windows 7 half baked, there is no UI for this but it works very nicely. To enable it:
1. Go to an Administrative command line window and run the following command:
Code:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=<AnyName> key=<Any 8 character Password>
2. Configure Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
- Press Win Key+R, type ncpa.cpl in the Run dialog and hit enter.
- Select the interface that currently has Internet connection (like your Ethernet or normal wifi). Go to its properties, go to Sharing tab and then enable the sharing. Choose the special “hosted” interface (sometimes called a Virtual Wifi Miniport) in the drop down. Close the dialog by hitting OK.
3. Start the hosted interface by typing in this command on command line:
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
4. Connect to the internet using the dialer if you have one of those USB internet dongles.
Thats it, search for the Wifi network you created from your phone and connect to it. You're done!
Sometime, if you get an error while starting up the HostedInterface try doing this :
First, try rebuilding your tcp ip stack by doing the following:
1. Start an elevated/administrative command prompt window.
4: Type the command :
Code:
netsh int ip reset
in the Command Prompt shell, and then press the Enter key.
5: Restart the computer.
If this doesn't help, then disable internet sharing. After that disable the HostedNetwork by using command:
Code:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=disallow
After that restart your computer and set up the connections again.
By default when you share a internet connection it will automatically make the wifi mini port a DHCP server, however some phones may have an issue with this so you could also try setting a static IP address on the phone that is in the same class and subnet as your Virtual Miniport connection.
As a sub note when you set this up make sure you only have one wifi device available (i mean one physical device) if you have two wifi cards on your computer unplug one of them or disable it when you first setup the wifi mini port (the steps in my original post).
Hope this post be helpful to you. Good luck!

you need a new usb wifi device that can support Soft-AP

I have tried all ways to get ad-hoc wifi on my phone , yet nothing till date seems to work.
1)wpa_supplicant method (Wifi Analyser can see the ad-hoc connection but can't connect)
2)reverse tether by bridging connections and then dhcp eth0 method (here this doesnt work because it only shows tiwlan0 and 'dhcpcd tiwlan0' doesnt work)
3)softwares like connectify , mhotspot etc do not work for me either.
Now i hope , developers come out for a way to provide this feature as soon as possible.
Hopefully , i find this link hxxp://code.google.com/p/adhoc-on-android/
Somebody pls get behind this!

Nexus 5 won't work with my WiFi network

Nexus won't connect to my WiFi network , I was using my nexus 5 without issues but today we upgraded the internet speed , and to be able to do it ,we had to get a new modem (besides the new data plan ) , the thing is now I can't get internet on my phone while connected to the WiFi , it connects but I can't do do anything , when I open the browser I get this message :
{

That was also an issue ,if I connect the modem to the router where it should go ( and were it was before we upgraded the modem) , the hole says "internet " then I don't get internet , only when I put it in a "normal LAN hole"is that I get internet :/

Check Modem or Router settings for MAC filtering.

It's got to go in the int port or you won't have a dhcp server and only 1 device well be able to connect.
Wire it up correctly then turn both the modem and router off for a minute, then turn back on the modem and wait a couple of minutes or until the lights confirm it's connected, then turn on your router and wait a minute, then try connecting to it.

OK I put the modem cable in the "internet port " on the router , now I get no internet at all :/
Another question , should I put my second cable ( the one that goes to my roomate's laptop ) on the router or on the modem ?

if your modem has LAN ports then it's likely an all in one router/modem.. for basic setup just use that one
it gets complicated after that as how to set two up as you only want one to be serving ideally, and the 2nd as a wireless access point or client repeater..
sorry if I have your situation wrong

Disable MAC filtering if you have it enabled or add your Nexus 5 and other wireless devices MAC address to allowed section.

What?
Ok first shut down the modem and the router. Plug in the cable from the modem into the "internet" port on the router. Turn on everything and you should be all good.
Your roomtates laptop should be plugged into one of the LAN (the other 4 ports) on the router.

Go to your Nexus 5 Settings, look under WiFi for your router - are the settings correct & matched to those of your (new) router? What are they? Do you have another smartphone or tablet or wireless PC - connecting & working with this new router?
You might want to power down your router/modem, wait 5 or 10 minutes - then reboot it & wait for it to resync (DHCP or static IP) with all the network devices, including the N5? Make sure you have the SSID and security key or password saved or copied down first in case you have to restore them, including DNS settings.
Seeing that your location is Berlin - check to make sure your WiFi band(s) are set correctly on this new router.
Can you disable temporary your wireless security & connect openly with the N5?
Most modem/router can be reset to its factory default settings - read your manual & do it as a kind of last resort ... copy & save your current settings. Do these troubleshooting steps-by-steps & don't overlook the obvious - google/download/install/run "inSSIDer 3" by MetaGeek on a laptop or desktop with wireless access, it's a very user-friendly & useful diagnostic tool to analyze and troubleshoot network signals, etc.

Hey , no need to be sorry , you guys are bringing me in the right direction ... Sooo I checked my old modem and yeah it has a USB port, 2 telephone ports and a port named "Ethernet" whereas my new modem has just 2 telephone ports and 5 "LAN ports " , our internet company just gives a modem and if we want to have WiFi then we need to pay 2 euros more , my roommate had always used a modem +router combo but it looks like that won't work with this modem anymore , maybe the company got this new modem to make the set up process easier for people and of course to prevent people like us from getting WiFi with our own methods :/

ok.. look up on the internet for instructions, on your new modem/router, on how to get to it's settings ... then you can see what options you have

So you, like you said, I have to use the new modem I got , I can't plug in a router, now checking my Provider's website I realise that there's two different devices, the one I have Hitron cve-30360 ( I assume is a model specifically built for my provider - Kabel Deutschland- is a "Cable-router and WLAN-Router" and there's another (more expensive) device homebox fritz box 6360, which is a "Modem, WLAN-Router, Server and Telephone System" so what's basically the difference between this two devices? To be honest I thought the device I had was a modem and it turns out it's a "Cable-router"

I had a read up, unfortunately most info is in German for me, but the info on the main site is indeed confusing
it does appear to be an all in one cable modem wifi router, check the features page, euro docsys3.0 compliant.. also the picture of the back shows a cable connector, so it has to be.
You should be able to connect everything to that wirelessly and wired.. you should of been supplied an ssid and password
edit, unless your cable company turned off the wireless and locked you out of the settings on the new device.. in that case connect the second router via the LAN and turn off the dhcp server in its settings.. edit...or set wireless access point, if it has it
