Hi guys,
First thing first: don't know yet on which forum I should put this thread, since its all but usual
What I want to do?
I want Win10 machine to be offline(no internet connection), and share over USB (or LAN/wifi connection - but preferably USB) to android phone/tablet specific watchfolder with random content.
I want to synchronize what android would receive from the mentioned watchfolder with specific location on google drive or any other provider (dropbox or anything) over 3G/4G network. It would be great if it would be automated, but starting ftp server or any other app is not a problem.
If any of You can share the solution, or even point me in the right direction, it would be great !
Have a good evening!

Hello everybody, I would need some support.
I'm struggling to see if I can connect my WM5 "wirelessly" with my computer that has a wireless LAN.
My computer is connected to internet through a wired connection.
I found this well designed tutorial :
http://www.geocities.com/grieg_winter/adhoc/index.html
but... it didn't work. my wireless LAN is always out (red cross on it)
Thank you for your support

Please read my Wi-Fi P2P tutorial; it's been linked infrom several of my networkingrelated article (for example, the Multiplayer Bible - sorry, I can't give you the URL now as I'm on a slow and epxensive GORS conenection, which makes it impossible for me to make some searches). It will work.
I have a problem with the P2P because I use a LAN which my PC has the address of 192.168.1.106 and upon connecting the P2P as host, it has IP 192.168.1.1, which is the IP my router use, so it probably got confused. See if you are having this settings.

wireless LAN connection
Thank you very much for your quick answer under hard conditions Menneisyys !
I read your tutorial, that is explicit on - local - p2p between mobile.
I think it should be the same with mobile and XP, but my wireless lan refuse to function. I need to check more on that, but maybe it is just dead
Thank you veyr much

XP and WM5 wireless LAN connection : the answer
I eventualy managed to connect my WM5 to my notebook thanks to the support I found here. I write here a quicky bibliography guide.
The wish
I wanted to wirelessly connect my PDA device with my notebook that is connected to internet through a cable. The aim is to acces internet, skype etc. on the mobile.
Technical environment
A cable internet connection to internet
A computer with a wireless LAN card and windows (XP but link will explain also for previous versions)
A pocket PC (WM5 but link will explain also for previous versions)
Settings
Windows XP : http://www.geocities.com/grieg_winter/adhoc/index.html
(check : on some notebook - like VAIO - your wireless LAN must be physically switch on, by pressing a button on the side, I spent a day or two waiting for the computer to connect not knowing that )
WM5 : http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/ind...3&p=588&more=1
Special thanks

Hi Guys
After trawling countless forums and google searches i have finally found a Ventrilo client for PPC and smartphones.
The programs is called CEntrilo http://www.g3gg0.de/wordpress/projects/centrilo
Now I installed this and was like "Hell YEAH!", it connected perfectly and I was able to use all the features that I love in normal ventrilo.
Then I hit a snag....when i unhooked from ActiveSync i lost connection and no matter what i did i could not get connected through WiFi or GPRS..Dammit! All i kept getting was the error "host name not found"
Once again I trawled google to find a solution. BINGO! I found that if you redirect a host to the IP (such as signing upto no-ip.org and creating a host) and then used that as the IP it works.
So anyways I hope this is usefull to all u hardcore gamers and Voip ppl
Peace Out

-- SOLVED --> For those who care...
Initial issue/goal: Ports open or blocked over 3G/4g? Getting a reverse VNC connection working on an android phone.
Resolution: Ultra VNC SC basically allows someone behind a firewall or router to, without any configuration required, share their desktop with someone (you) for technical support or any other means. I use it for friends and family and such, and it works great, but the real question and purpose of this thread was about open ports on a 3G/4G connection and what VNC apps allow listening. This is what worked for me: Remote VNC Pro from the market (~$6), DynDNS from the market (free), a dynamic DNS account that is supported by the DynDNS application (like no-ip, dyndns, etc), and a personalized/configured version of Ultra VNC SC (linked below). Port 5900 works, as well as a few others, but 80, 8080, and 443 won't.
VNC Application: Remote VNC Pro (for the phone)
VNC Application: Ultra VNC SC (for the client)
Dynamic DNS: DynDNS (update agent)
Mods/Admins feel free to move this thread and/or lock delete if I am breaking any rules (like advertising?) or something.
Re: [HELP] Reverse VNC Connection
I know with 4G you definitely get a publicly accessible IP without any proxy in the middle. I imagine 3G would be the same so it should be fine in that regards.
As for open ports, any app worth its chops should let you choose which port it listens on so that shouldn't be an issue.
Why don't you just buy one of the apps and give it a try? If it doesn't work you can always return it within 24 hours for a full refund.
Trial and Error
---- ORIGINAL FIRST POST ----
Not sure if this should go here or not, but I'm trying to see if I can get a Reverse VNC Application going. Looking at existing VNC applications for Android, the only one that allows listen mode is Remote VNC Pro v1.7.7 and above. Unfortunately, since it is not free, I cannot test the listening capabilities. Listening aside, I suppose my biggest issue will be open ports. Given 3G/4G addresses (NAT, I assume?) are out of our control, does anyone know what ports are open and what ports are not?
Has anyone else tried? Interested? Suggestions? Here's what I have so far:
VNC Application: Looking at Remote VNC Pro (for the phone)
VNC Application: Ultra VNC SC (for the client)
Dynamic DNS: DynDNS (update agent)

Well the idea was to see if anyone had already tried this and/or had the application to save me time troubleshooting. Since there has been no response, save yours, I went ahead and purchased it.

Oh, it has the option to specify ports, but which ports are open over a 3G/4G connection is what I wanted to know. I tried 443 and 80, and both gave me permission errors. Surprisingly 1723 (PPTP) works, but VNC Pro on the phone just sits on the 'please wait while listening on <ip address>' screen forever. The computer running the Single Click VNC server says that the connection was successfully acquired, but the icon never changes colors (suggesting I am completely connected). The interesting thing is that when I cancel or close the connection on the computer, VNC Pro on my EVO closes the 'listening' window and gives me a java exception error.
*sigh* any ideas? I'm guessing the connection is going through but other traffic is getting blocked or something. Not sure what other ports to try, but I will fiddle around with it in the mean time.
Edit: I tried the standard ports on a local WiFi connection. I gave the phone a static IP, port forwarded everything appropriately, and then received the same results. I'm going to take a few screenshots and send and e-mail to the developer for now.
Edit: It appears to be an issue with Ultra VNC SC. Ultra VNC and Real VNC both worked by manually adding the viewer client from the installed server while using port 5900. Sort of defeats the purpose for me, but the developer said he would try it out and (hopefully) get it working.
Edit: The dev got back to me really quickly and we figured out the issues and fixed it over the weekend. He pushed out a new version of the application on Sunday. First post has been updated for those who care.
Bumping the thread for those who are interested in what worked for me, now that everything is fixed.
Nice, been interested in this. How is the refresh rate when your phone is on WiFi and also how is it on 3G?
I tried Screencast (http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/), but it only runs at 3-5 FPS, so it was pretty unusable.
I've only had it working for a day, and nobody has really needed my help, so my testing of the application has only been to confirm it works. The best thing I can say, for now, is that the reviews all brag about the performance and pinch-zoom, that the developer is pretty cool and was willing to return the application well beyond the 24 hour limit, should the application not meet my needs, and finally that he fixed the issue I was having in less than 48 hours from the time I reported it to him. Overall, as far as the application is concerned, I am pretty satisfied. For example, I wrote (and edited) this post while using it over 3G from my phone. I saw all the text as I was typing, so I would say the frame rate is satisfactory.
Edit: Wait, after following your link, I think you might be misunderstanding the purpose of this application. This allows you to control a PC from your Android, not the other way around. The purpose is to supply people with a pre-configured portable application that allows you to connect to the computer without any port forwarding or security changes on their machine. The application (uVNC SC) also "uninstalls" itself from their computer after the connection is closed. To reiterate, the primary benefit is to allow you (the admin) to connect to someone else (the user) without them having to do anything but double-click on your connection.
You're right. I misunderstood, didn't know what "reverse vnc" really meant.
Sorry, I knew people confused the two, so I could have been more clear. On that note, I am also interested in a... remote connection to my Android phone. Recording, in particular, would be great for demo's and setup instructions, given so many people have android devices now-days. But yeah, this is not the setup for that. =/

Glad to hear you got it working! I'll try installing it this week and see how it goes.
Looks to me that I want to do exactly the same. Sorry to bump the thread but seems the best thing to do.
I want to support people OTA, since I don't need high framerates, just a view at some PC settings.
I have Remote VNC Pro and it allows the phone to Listen for incoming VNC connections. But it listens on a 10.20.xxx adress, instead of my WAN 3G/4G ip-adress.
I want to use GITSO (awesome little program) for the http://code.google.com/p/gitso/ support issues.
It works flawless pc-to-pc where I have my own portforward setup, saves tons of hassle with the people I want to support.
The following is a 3-step process for gaining remote access to your PC Via your Android phone's data connection for FREE and without a static IP.
IT USES YOUR DATA PLAN SO MAKE SURE YOUR HAVE UNLIMITED DATA PLAN OR YOU'LL BE SAD!!!
It allows you to control and view your PC by accessing Windows Remote Desktop using Pocket Cloud on your Android. I used this method on my T-mobile Samsung Vibrant and am now using it on my HTC Amaze. Currently, I have only tested this using Windows XP. I HAVE NOT TRIED IT ON WINDOWS 7. Someone smarter than I can tweak the process for Windows 7 and MAC OS. Please feel free.
I put this little solution together from some forums I found scattered all over the internet. When I needed it, I couldn’t find the complete solution in one place so; I consolidated it for you here. The VB script in particular is not my original work and I can't remember where I got it for the life of me so; my apologies to the author for not properly citing it here. PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM ONLY POSTING THE METHOD I USED. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Now…down to business!!!!!
Here is how it works:
Your PC automatically accesses a website to gather your WAN IP information and sends an "email-to-text message" to your Android on a schedule of your choice. This ensures that you always have access to your current WAN IP address. This is important; DSL providers change your WAN IP address as much as 10 times/day where cable internet providers only do it about once/month.
You then use this information to configure Pocket Cloud (available for free on the Android Market) to connect to your home router/PC. Using the current WAN IP as the "host address" in Pocket Cloud, you can connect, control, and view your PC remotely over your Android's data connection.
Requirements:
In order for connection to work, the following must be done before you start the steps. Don't worry, these are all easy.
· Your PC must be powered on with an internet connection (obviously)
· Windows XP must have a windows logon password set (assuming you are not on a home network with an actual server).
NOTE
If you have a modem connected directly with no router, you are all set. Skip the next bullet.
· Your router must be set to forward "remote desktop" activity (port 3389) to the PC to which you'd like to connect; make sure the router doesn't block the remote desktop application (see your router manual).
· Make sure your internet security software (see your software manual) and Windows XP ("my computer" properties under the "remote" tab) allows remote access to your PC.
STEP 1. Tweak the RED ITALIC TEXT ONLY of the VB Script (attached at the bottom) in by creating a new "note pad" file; pasting it in to "Note Pad"; and saving the file as "EmailIP.vbs".
NOTE
You can test your script by double clicking the .vbs file you just created. If you then get a text message with your IP address in it, you are good to go. The text message should only take a few minutes to arrive.
STEP 2. Schedule the script to run at any interval you'd like by browsing to it from within Windows Task Scheduler. This is under Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Scheduled Tasks. If you need help with task scheduler, Google it.
NOTE
The task should be scheduled more frequently for those using a DSL home internet provider. I set mine for every 2 hours as I use DSL at home. Cable internet can be scheduled to run much less often.
STEP 3. Install and configure Pocket Cloud RDP free from Android Market. using IP just texted to your Android and your Windows Logon information.
· Create a new connection in pocket cloud.
· Enter a nick name of your choice into the "Nick Name" field.
· Enter the WAN IP which was just texted to your phone into the "Host Address" field.
· Enter your windows logon user name and password into the "User Name" and "Password" fields.
· Leave everything else alone!
· Scroll to the bottom and hit "Save."
· Tap the connection and you should be connected to your PC with in seconds.
Cheers!
I use MyPhoneExplorer, very easy and noob-proof
i use teamviewer for this...
teamviewer does not require u to have static WAN ip...
the only thing u need is teamviewer account which is free...
I have create a vpn and get the static ip from no-ip.org
.
Thread moved. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.

Good choice, however, no-ip and teamviewer both require that a 3rd party have certain terminal info or it pings the server periodically. This solution keeps third arties out of the equation with the exception of a collecting your own IP from an outside URL. Again, somone much smarter than I would be able to write a script that collects your WAN from the CMD prompt or something native to OS rather than a URL. If you know how, Please do and post it here.

My Apologies. I did read them and didn't see a good fit anywhere as this is neither an App nor a game. It will take me some time to figure out where threads should be posted. Thanks for your patience.
MyMobiler always did work good on Windows Mobile. However on new PCs and with Android, connections were no longer reliable. The cure was:
1. Do an install of SideSync on the PC side first.
2. After you finish and reboot, and uninstall SideSync.
3. Next set up MyMobiler according to the instructions on their web site. After that, it has been rock solid. In fact so good that that I turned off Autoconnect so it wouldn't pop up every time I plugged my phone into my USB port.
PS: I've been attempting to contact the author, but I have not been able to. What I would like to tell him is:
1. While MyMobiler also allows connecting via IP address, it does not support IPV6. All new devices are IPV6. Thus, the only place this feature works in the real world is on internal networks. If that were corrected, the remote control could work across the web.
2. Make a new version of MyMobiler with the drivers needed for the new computers, like SideSync has, give it away on Google Play, and promote it that it doesn’t need access to your personal data. Make it USB connections only. Include an easy access help file for the keystrokes.
3. Make a Pro version, enable the IP connection abilities that includes the newly added IPV6, and sell it on GooglePlay. Then they also have remote control of their phone via IP locally, and remotely, no other remote control software necessary. Include any necessary router setup instructions.
If anyone can put me in touch with the author, that would be appreciated. The links on his site do not work.
