*Before anyone yells at me for this..I have searched the forums and google..but still haven't managed to make it work*
So I finally flashed to dCd's 3.2.6 and everything works great..but lets cut to the chase..
I wanted to know how you setup the Remote Desktop Mobile. I've tried a number of things, heres how I did it so far..
1) I enabled the Remote Desktop Assist on my XP computer
2) I enabled the 3389 port on my linksys router
3) I got my IP address through, "Run --> CMD ---> ipconfig"
4) I put all the information into the fields IP address going into the Computer Slot, my account name and password and I left the domain blank (as I've read several forums saying, it should be left blank)
And when I hit connect, it connects for a long time and I get the error message:
Cannot connect. Likely reasons are:
1) The remote computer is not set up for this.
2) Reached the maximum number of connections.
3) A network error occurred while connecting.
I'm in an area with EV-DO connection..and I haven't setup any other remote access computers for it and my computer's remote desktop is on..
Anyone able to point me in the direction that I've done wrong? I really want to get this to work.
P.S. Sorry for the lengthy post!
Much thanks appreciated!!
What version of XP are you running? The Remote Desktop server doesn't exist in XP Home... only in XP Professional.
Also, you may have to open port 3389 in your software firewall, if you are running one.
Assuming you have XP Pro... In your Linksys settings, have you pointed port 3389 to the internal IP of your XP machine? For this to work best, you need to have a static IP assigned to the XP machine instead of letting the Linksys DHCP just assign one. In your network settings on the XP machine, try setting your IP address to 192.168.1.130 (or whatever makes sense with your subnet) and then forwarding port 3389 in the router to that same IP address.
Then, make sure you are using your EXTERNAL IP address in the RDP Mobile settings (it will NOT be a 192.168.x.x type of number). To get your external IP, go to http://www.whatismyip.com.
So, the way it then works is: (example uses bogus external IP of 24.164.1.1 and internal IP of 192.168.1.130)
Your phone connects to 24.164.1.1, which is the external IP of your router.
Your router sees the incoming request on port 3389.
Your router forwards the incoming request to 192.168.1.130
Your XP machine receives the request and you are connected.
Apologies if this is info you already knew... but this way at least it will show up the next time someone searches.
hm..I don't quite understand the static IP part..lol

http://ask-leo.com/how_do_i_configure_my_static_ip_address.html explains the process very well.
You will need to configure 5 entries:
1. First, hit Start/Run, type in "cmd" (without the quotes) and in the command prompt window that opens up, type "ipconfig /all" (again without the quotes). It will give you something like this:
Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : new.rr.com
Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN
Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes
Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.100(Preferred)
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Wednesday, November 05, 2008 10:24:40 PM
Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Thursday, November 06, 2008 10:24:40 PM
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 24.164.225.25
24.164.225.35
NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled
and get the primary and secondary DNS server IP addresses. These are generally different for each broadband provider.
2. Then, on the XP computer, follow the directions from the link above (using the following numeric addresses instead of the ones in their example). Assuming you have the standard Linksys settings, you will want to set the IP for the XP machine to 192.168.1.130 (I usually do this so it leaves the lower IPs available for other things added to the network), the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, and the gateway to 192.168.1.1 (this is the internal address of the router).
3. Then, the only ones left are the primary and secondary DNS server entries... you should have gotten those in step 1 above. If you can't find those there, you may need to call your provider... you could probably Google them too.
It's not terribly complicated, but you do have to make sure you have all the settings correct. Most important is to make sure that the IP you give the XP box is in the same subnet as the router (the first three sets of numbers must match, as in the example above of 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.130)... otherwise the XP box and the router won't be able to see each other.
Also, I would suggest doing all of your testing at home using Wifi before you test externally on your carrier network. Connect to your home router using WiFi then, use your INTERNAL IP address (192.168.x.x) to use remote desktop. That way you know your PC is setup properly to use it and don't have to mess with port forwarding or static IP's. As mentioned below, you may need to open port 3389 on your software firewall to get it to work (or just temporarily disable your firewall for testing purposes so you know if that is the problem).
Once you are able to use remote desktop internally, then you can try:
- Set your computer to a static IP (instructions from answerman below)
- Set port forwarding in your router to forward port 3389 to that static IP
- Get your EXTERNAL IP address from http://www.whatismyip.com
- Try connecting to the external IP over your carrier's network.
Also, here are MS's directions for setting up remote desktop on XP. It also includes instructions for opening port 3389 if you use windows firewall.

please microsoft, please, update rdp mobile for > 640x480!!!!

I'm not sure whether this post belongs here, but I have googled high and low and I have not found anything that directly pertains to my Samsung Galaxy S2 issue. And here at XDA, the VPN questions seem to be about private VPNs (not commercial).
I am currently running Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread.XXKG6
I follow these steps for connecting to a LT2P
www_dot_hopthewall_dot_com/wiki/wiki/Android_L2TP_Over_IPSec
And these for PPTP
www_dot_hopthewall_dot_com/wiki/wiki/Installing_personalVPN-PPTP_on_Android_Mobile_Phone
I have tried the PPTP and L2TP
Both fail to connect
L2TP yields:
"Unable to connect to network. Try again?"
But no additional error message.
PPTP however, seems to allow the connection.
I connected a few times.
I used pptp.sfo.witopia.net. as the VPN server
That seemed to let me connect a few times;
and according to hide-my-ip.com I had an L.A. IP
But now, when I try to connect, I'm getting an error message that reads:
"Server hung up. User name or password incorrect. Try again?"
But I didn’t do or change anything. I just tried to connect as usual.
I've tried
restarting the phone.
waiting a while.
Connecting with the computer (connects without a problem)
I tried connecting to the different VPN servers.
I also tried connecting changing the VPN server from URL to an IP address,
but that just tells me "Unable to connect to network. Try again?"
I am at a loss...
I have tried at home, on my wifi account...
The same one that my computer is on, but no dice.
The VPN service provider is also at a loss.
They said "...iPhones connect all day..." (talk about a kick in the teeth)
They asked me if I wanted to cancel my account and request a refund.
Nice.
Thanks for the replies.
This forums are always so helpful.
No, that's okay, don't get up. I'll get that.
A two part work around I found was:
PART I
Sharing the VPN Connection Over WiFi by Converting my Laptop into WiFi VPN Router. An article by BESTVPNSERVICE.COM
Using a Windows 7 machine with a Wi-Fi NIC
1) Click on your computers start button and in the search box type “cmd” and wait for it to appear on the menu.
2) After it appears, right click on it and select “Run As Administrator”.
3) When the Black Command Prompt Opens up, type the following command and press enter
4) netsh wlan show drivers
5) You will see something like the following image. If the ‘Hosted Network Supported’ (in the red square) say ‘Yes’, it means the driver is installed and if it says ‘No’, download the drivers.
6) Once it is made sure that you have the required driver, it’s time to set it up.
7) Type netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=test key=password. Following Screen would appear. (Devices will detect network SSID as “test” change it to anything you want. Moreover, ‘key’ is your password which in this case is ‘password’, change it to whatever you want, I would suggest you to not to use numbers in password)
8 ) Then type, netsh wlan start hostednetwork. You will see the messages illustrated in the snap shot.
9) If you see the message that the ‘hosted network couldn’t be started’, then your WiFi driver is outdated, the best way to update the WiFi driver is Run you Windows Update or download the latest version from its official website.
10) Now that we have setup hosted network, we will make sure that it is shared on public Wi-Fi.
11) To do this, click on your Wi-Fi signal buttons on the bottom right hand corner of your screen.
12) Click on ‘Open Network and Sharing Center’.
13) Then click on Change adapter settings.
14) Click on the Connection that has description of ‘Your Created VPN Connection’ and right click on the Icon to go to its properties.
15) In Properties, go to ‘Sharing’ tab and check on ‘Allow Other Network User to connect through this computer…’
16) From the drop down menu of ‘Home Networking Connection’, Select the connection which had a description of ‘Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter’/’Virtula AP’ or it can be ‘Wireless Network Connection 2’ as in my case.
17) Check on the ‘Allow other network users to control or disable….’ Option as well.
18) Click ok and you are all set to go now.
19) Connect your VPN and ask your Friends or Colleague to discover your VPN enabled WiFi Connection.
20) Now, whenever you will restart your computer, your Shared WiFi connection will be disabled. You will have to reenter only the following command in the command prompt to enable it again.
netsh wlan start hostednetwork (or create a custom batch file for this, if you want to avoid reentering the command every time).
PART II
If the wi-fi direct on your phone isn't discovering your freshly created network,
you may need enable Ad Hoc connections for it.
For that I looked at an article here; but instead of Root Explorer is simply used ES Explorer:
Download this version of wpa_supplicant
Like I said, I used "ES Explorer"
• use "ES Explorer" to mount /system/bin/ and make a backup of wpa_supplicant
• rename the current one to wpa_supplicant.bak and copy the new wpa_supplicant to /system/bin
• then we need to adjust the permissions on the file to:
ticked - All options in the read and execute columns; and write column owner row
unticked - write column & group row; write column & others row.
• change /system/bin back to read only
• disable and re-enable wireless
• now your adhoc wireless network should be listed with the other wireless networks and you can connect.
After this two maneuvers, I was able to connect my phone to my laptop using my laptop's internet access and thus connecting to the VPN.
I find that the order of network activation matters.
What I mean is:
First connect to the internet (router, modem, or however that may be)
Then connect to the VPN
And then activate and connect to the hostednetwork.
I hope this helps someone, despite the fact that you have to be within wifi range of your windows machine. It's not quite the same as being on the streets and connecting to your VPN -but Android can't [consistently and reliably] connect to VPNs. And since no one replied to me here it stands to reason that no one knows how to get Android to connect to commercial VPN services (not even WiTopia's tech support).
guys,
i am a total noob and i need some help. I have recently flashed franco.Kernel.v19.4 CFS over stock 2.2 rom.
However for me the wifi tethering is not working which is mostly why i rooted and flashed this kernel.
The scenario is this. I have a 2G connection and i can load any website on dolphin hd (just to say my 2g connection is ok ).
Now i turn on the "portable wi-fi hotspot" on mobile and connect my laptop (windows xp) wifi to this hotspot.
If i do ipconfig on my pc it shows
C:\>ipconfig
Windows IP Configuration
Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.43.7

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.43.1
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 2:
Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Now i can ping to my gateway (192.168.43.1 which is the mobile) from my pc and there is a reply.
However if I ping google there is no reply.
On my mobile though i can still open google in dolphin browser in this tethered state.
Can somebody tell me how i can fix this.
kernel or rom
ok...one more thing.
This tethering thing never worked for me even when i had the stock kernel or mik's kernel with the touchscreen bug fixed.
Can somebody tell me if this is a problem of the kernel or the rom.
thinking of flashing a new rom.
can somebody point me to a rom on which wifi tethering works.
do u use any proxy settings on your phone? check under your data settings and put them in your browser settings
because in india when we tether i m on Vodafone ofc i have to put in the proxy settings on my browser on my pc before i browse
No proxy in data settings
I checked my data settings. the proxy is not set.
gnsxp...i am also on vodafone based in bangalore. does tethering work for you?
Tethering always worked :-D
here are the SETTINGS for your Browser
Enable Proxy under Network Settings
Use Manual Proxy
for Vodafone
Proxy : 10.10.1.100
Port 9401
Keep Username and Pass Blank
Enter that setting in ur Mozilla
and then Try to access the Web

Hi,
I want to write a program ,which will communicate to the available android mobile device via wi-fi .(Note :I do not want to use the USB cable)
That moblile device is having an IP in it by a wi-fi connection with it.The major thing is that i pinged that IP and I am getting connection packets getting back to my pc,means I can communicate with the devices. so can I able to get the details of the device.
details means
1.its name what user sets on it.
2.some address like mac in computers.
3.model name.
4.type of os in it.
etc
I really find this interesting but,no idea how to do but i got something like ARP protocol for getting the mac address but I do not know how to communicate with a phone with this ARP protocol.
Can we communicate by the SSH as it a linux kernel based OS .Kindly give me a way how to get these information.
can any one have some idea ,kindly tell me,it is very important for my project.
Thanks
Hi all
i'm working on a linux box which have a bluetooth dongle, and i want to make an ip link between linux and an android phone (Galaxy S2)
my link is ok , but i can't set the IP adress on the android side, the only thing i can do is set it with a terminal (ifconfig bnep0 10.0.0.2) and then the link is ok.
My question : is there any way to set this ip adress with an apps or other ?
i can't say to the user root your phone and open a terminal ....
thank in advance
