Is it possible to sync using activesync over the internet without running an exchange server? I'd like to be able to sync my XDA while I'm out and about to my PC at home.
:shock: :?: :?:
been trying to do the same for ages , but never found out how to do it
It can be done, under a few conditions:
1. You need to have a static IP address for you PC
2. You need to install Pocket Hosts or a similar free utility to map the WINS host name to your PC's IP address.
3. Your carrier / ISP must not have a firewall that blocks ports 5678 or 5679 (T-mobile seems to block this)
Remote active sync was designed with a local area network in mind and it is configured to connect to you computer by using the WINS name and not using an internet based DNS name. When you connect over an internet connection from your XDA, it is not able to find you PC.
If you install a free utility such as Pocket Hosts (http://zimac.de/cestuff.htm) you can configure the Pocket PC to be able to find you PC. This utility will allow you to configure you Pocket PC to map your PC Name to an IP address (similar to the HOST file on a Windows based PC)
Before I had the unlimited GPRS plan, I created a dial up connection to an ISP on my PocketPC Phone and it works perfectly. However, when I try the same thing over the GPRS connection, it does not work. From my end, it looks like T-Mobile blocks ports 5678 or 5679 on their firewall, which are the ports that remote active sync uses to complete the connection. (It looks like it is about to work, but then fails to complete the connection)
I have tried to convince t-mobile to fix this, but they keep claiming that it will not work out of the box, they don't know how to make it work, and they won't support it. They try to "upsell" me the sidekick or other device. I can't seem to get through to the right people. It seems crazy that a setting on their end blocks us from being able to sync over the air. After all, what is the point of a data connection if you are still restricted to using a cradle to sync. I understand that they don't want to support this and walk people through setting this up, but blocking the functionality seems pointless.
Anyone tested this on ATT? With number portability starting, I may have to explore other options. Anyone have an in at T-mobile that can get them to open up these ports on the firewall?
try www.yahoo.com
get an account (if you don't have one already)
login -- click on mail
the click the tab for addresses
on the next line to the right you will see the word "sync"
this will take you to download intellisync for yahoo
then follow instructions
sync you pda and your good to go, you will have your info on the internet and sync from anywhere
one more thing if youown a palm os and a pocket pc pda and you want to have both devices with same info (contacts, mail, notes etc. etc.)
the change the settings on your intellisync for your other device and resync
hope this helps it did for me...
Hi, I'm from the Philippines and my Network is SMART Communications. I tried synching with my active sync via GPRS but it seems it can't find my PC eventhough I used Pocket Hosts utility. It seems they block the port too. Anybody from Smart to please open the gate for us.
I've setup up my Win2k PC as dial-up server. And with the help of the Pocket Hosts utility, I can now be able to sync my Outlook over the air. But the call charges is killing me.

I've been investigating this myself too - and have to say T-Mobile's attitude is also alive and well here in the UK on O2 (via crapphone-whorehouse data support team).
I was actually shouted at by one of their 'tech' guys when I tried to persuade them that it could technically be done, but I needed to find out whether they were blocking the relevant ports. He eventually hung up on me! Fantastic service, eh!
I've been trying to get ActiveSync working over the Internet for the past few days and have finally managed to get it to work reliably. There are a couple of things that I have found...
Firstly, at least one of the ports required for ActiveSync does seem to be blocked when using GPRS (Vodadone UK in my case). Setting up a normal dial-up ISP connection results in first time connections to ActiveSync every time. It would be nice to know why there is problem over GPRS.
Secondly, my device was still connecting as Guest. Whilst reading through various other forums I found a fix that seem to work for this but it involves deleting a registry key. I wouldn't recommend it as I have know idea what else this key might be used for but it certainly solved the problem for me. The key I removed is HKLM/Ident/Username value is guest. The key is replaced automatically at some point (maybe after a reset) so if it stops working, you have to go and delete it again! There must be a better way....
That's great information, thanks.
I now have my device remote synching!
Just to summarise my steps to get things working on my XDA II:
1) XDA: Set up new work connection (don't you just hate the organisation of conenctions...) to a dial-up ISP over GSM, as O2 UK also block the ports required for activesync.
2) PC: Open sockets 990, 999, 5678, 5679 on my firewall
3) XDA: Use pockethosts to set up the IP address for my PC name
4) XDA: Change HKLM\Ident\User from guest to my normal PC logon user id
5) PC: Set allow network connections in activesync
6) XDA: Manually Connect to the ISP connection
7) XDA: Open activesync and click synch - away we go!
As an update to this, I had to do a full restore at the weekend after loosing all my data on the XDAII. The problem was not related to these changes but it made me look again at the Ident key. There are two keys normally like...
HKLM/Ident/Name Value<Your chosen PDA Name>
HKLM/Ident/OrigName Value<Pocket_PC>
This time I changed only HKLM/Ident/OrigName to the same value as in HKLM/Ident/Name and it connected first time. Also, this value does not seem to be reset unless you do a hard reset on the device. This may be better than changing the Username value though I have yet to try either on another computer where my preferred connection should actually be as a Guest.
Got it working
Thanks to andyclap's suggestions I finally got it working. It looks like T-mobile does not block any ports, but without the registry hack the error I got was the same as when I tested this over a dial up connection and blocked the ports on my firewall.
The other change since my last post is that I am using WM2003 and it requires you to set up a VPN connection to the PC instead of just using PocketHosts for the name resolution.
Hello everyone!
This tool is useful for determining the status of the network and various foreign hosts, tracking and isolating hardware and software problems, and testing, measuring, and managing networks. Want to stay online while you chatting, downloading etc. without your phone going in power safe mode, which will disconnect your network? No problem, just hit <Follow> key and you are set to go!
Features (Full version):
- Ping destination host and take back statistics about it
- ARP scans entire network of every connected network adapter on your device
- Mass Ping entire network or just part of it
- WhoIs domain name or IP address
- Trace is used to determine the route taken by packets across an IPv4 networks
- Following destination host by scheduled check. This also will sound an alarm when/if the connection is lost or found (depend of your settings)
- And of course, everything is customizable
In progress (Full version):
- Wake on LAN

I can confirm the behavior reported by Mortimer. It can't even ping itself by IP, nor the default gateway. Still good for testing internet connectivity, but this should probably be addressed to make it a more valuable network tool.

It's work as intended. This behavior, can only be USB advanced network functionality problem. To be sure about your IP/gateway address: unplug your USB cable, fire up ping with empty IP/name field. This will return your local IP address: 127.0.0.1, if you are not already connected via WiFi or 3G/CSD. Now, enable WiFi(connected to pc-pc or AP) or 3G/GPRS/CSD connection. Do the same "empty" ping and you will see your WAN/modem assigned IP address. Now type that IP or the one of your gateway in this subnet, and results will be there before you even blink. PingBox can ping itself for sure (much much more), but you have to know your network to start from somewhere...
To use proper USB internet connection, change this in the registry on your PC (not PPC) and reboot:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000

Do you have connection with internet or local network via WiFi (not USB/active sync)? Try to ping with empty ip/name field - this have to return your current IP address (127.0.0.1[localhost] if not connected). Also check your firewall on machine you are trying to ping or tell me what kind of error code you receive.
There is no option for "nothing happens" After ping, you will see something like this:
- Reply from host (package returned with reply time in ms)
or
- Destination host unreachable (most like firewall or network problem)
or
- Destination host unknown (DNS lookup fail)

Remote Touch is free, but if you like the software and use it, why not donate something or click on the ads in my blog ?
Thanks for your support !
Wow! i thought i was impressed by your first release! THIS IS GREAT! Thank you!
Great App, very fast and good looking:
2 Suggestions:
- easier way to transfer the files from PC to PPC - for example per shortcut in the right-click menu (instead of "copy and paste", "Send to Remote Touch")
- the fullscreen keyboard is ok, but my preference would be a keyboard where I can see what I am writing
For me these would be a great improvement

is this support control over bluetooth?
is there such app? (control my pc with bluetooth or at least something like universal remote using bluetooth)
Works great with my tilt. I troubleshooted for a sec figuring the configs out and here is my experience...
Originally, it connected/ran fine but only while connected thru usb-activesync or wifi pointing to 192.168.100. It would not establish thru gprs or hsdpa (obvious enough, right)
Then, I read a little closer. I enabled port-forwarding as instructed. I am still maintaining dynamic ip assigned internet so i utilized the no-ip software and setup a static host here. I adjusted url in setup to point to that static host and can now access the pc thru gprs (i must still activate the internet connect first i.e., by clicking and updating weather or any other internet stimulant app) but WOW!! Seems faster than RDM
However, I can only get connection properly thru gprs while first having McAfee set to open firewall protection. I tried setting permissions for 192.168.1 ranges but no luck. Only successful thru gprs when mcafee firewall set wide open. Once, RemoteTouch session started and established, I can then change the firewall settings back to say trusting, but cannot restart remotetouch with firewall less than wide open. (something obvious im missing? like before)
I love the app and would like to demonstrate but wish not to leave my firewall wide open any tips on how this is accomplished?
And thank you big time Mr. Sanjay Thomas.

Yes I want to allow both the standard SIP as well as my keyboard in future releases.
I will eventually add a menu item in windows explorer to copy and paste (this is low in my list of features at the moment though).

Glad you like it the software.
I don't use McAfee but should be able to allow traffic through port 3230.
Are you using Windows Firewall also ?
You can use any internet connection, WiFi or ... usb, although I've yet to figure the use of using Remote Touch through a USB wire.
this Apps rocks...
No problem with this Gamma version ! great improvment !
Works great and much faster than any remote desktop access solution i've seen so far
I have one question though: Is there a way to make it work for secondary display as well? In a dual-display environment RemoteTouch shows only the primary display.
so how would you connect to a non static ip address of a computer on a wireless router...the ip would change anytime you power cycled the (in my case) cable modem or refreshed/renewed in ipconfig
would you have to change the ip address in the ppc program as the ip changed on the pc or is there a way to monitor any changes made and adjust accordingly?
thank u very much for the great app
i run it in my ppc and it work great , but it works only by the usb.
i tried to run it by useing the wifi but it says(connection failed)
i did what u saied , i used opera and updated wather then run the remote touch but it always say error .
am i missing any thing??!, please help me , i really need this
just tried with both the suggested ip in the install.bat file and looking up my actual ip address not just the one my router tells me it is...
no dice...
any suggestions?
here
sounds like u are accessing ur computers ip since it works thru usb...try the suggestion to get no-ip to setup a static host..
this is the post that helped me access. i remember going thru the steps...first i was thinking it wouldn't work bc i got no response, then applied some of the installation steps trying to follow to a closer 't'...first worked thru usb....more configs then it worked thru wifi...used the no-ip and finally figured i needed to setup a static host thru the acct.....able to get thru over GPRS once mcafee trust settings opened up all the way
a few things tho, i had to connect to weather or email right before running the prgm...and also soft resets were sometimes necessary as the program sometimes hung with my phone...might be different tho with your configs...but overall i loved it and found it to be super-responsive and fast...
thanks again Mr. Sanjay for a great prgm!!

Notice: Connect to your PC from anywhere using Remote Touch.
Just clarifying that Remote Touch lets you connect to your server PC from anywhere as long as your mobile have either WiFi access, GPRS, EDGE, 3G, ED-VO or anything other internet connection. Obviously your PC also needs to be accessible anywhere on internet as well.
I can only give a basic guide (not very detailed) as the steps really depend on each person.
1. If you use a router, you need to enable "port forwarding" to allow traffic from outside your router through to your Remote Touch Server machine port (Port 3230 unless you changed it from the default). Searching on google and using your router name & model should get some useful results.
; I enabled port forwarding, but my google search to setup port forwarding recommending changing to static ip. This was tough with my network and carrier and I believe the reason for steps 3/4.
(So you need to setup your router so that all traffic coming in at port 3230 needs to go to your Remote Touch Server machine's local ip address. (i.e the IP address you see in the INSTALL.BAT file).
; which i believe is 192.168.1.1 thru most routers
2. You may need to configure your firewall(s) to allow this traffic from outside your PC.
; I had to open McAfee and set ALL the way to OPEN trust
3. I recommend using a free DNS agent like No-IP (there should be other free ones too). Just go to their website and register. It is really straight forward, they will detect your external IP address.
[BigSniperBoy mentioned to make sure your "Host Type" is set to DNS Host (A) for No-IP. Thanks BigSniperBoy !]
4. You will also need to download and install their DNS client on your Remote Touch Server machine, so no-ip always knows your machine's current external IP address.
; which establishes a site that produces ur static ip u will access over GPRS or w/e way u talk to web
5. Once you have your DNS name (e.g. xxxxx.no-ip.biz) you can use that and enter it into your Remote Touch phone when it is connected to the internet (using either WiFi access, GPRS, EDGE, 3G, ED-VO or anything other internet connection) as shown below.
; which required me to connect by first checking email or weather just before prgm launch
Once you set this up, you don't have to do any of this again !!
If you got this working, congratulations !
If you have questions, email me at [email protected].
that was incredibly helpful thank you so much...
if you have your windows xp set to automatically log off...can u use this program to remotely logon to your pc from your ppc?
man this is great i just checked out your videos on youtube that's amazing great work keep it up
just tried
just tried and it this is awesome! well done to the OP
so quick and works great, makes me want a vga instead of qvga phone
Great APP!! Your app made my month!
Couple problems for you to check out - I use S2U2 and this app want to be on top of S2U2 so when the phone is turned off or turns off, when I turn it back on, RT shows up instead of S2U2.
Also when I am transferring a file from PC to phone, if the turn off time event happens before the transfer finishes, the server disconnects and does not finish the transfer - you need to keep the phone on by maybe faking a mouse click or keyboard event every 10 secs or so..
THANKS!

For dynamic ip i use DynDns (dyndns.com) which is free, this will allow you to get a dns name pointing to your last known IP. You can either setup your router (mine is a linksys and has an option to work with dyndns), or use DirectUpdate, a shareware software running as service that connects to dyndns and sends your ip everytime it changes.
Great app! Great speed! But I can't seem to get my Touch HD in landscape (800x480) with this. Is there a way to optionally force the client to display landscape by the menu for example?
Keep up the great work!
I have an mpman mp824 tablet (same as Coby Kyros MID8125), preloaded with Android 2.3.3. I want to use a VPN, but when I go to the Settings - Wireless and Networks screen, there is no VPN setup item as I would expect. I'm not an expert, but I assume this may be because a) the VPN applet is there somewhere, but has not started, or b) it is not there for some reason.
Can anyone help, plus is there a way I can overcome this? I have tried the supplier, but they are not replying
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi,
I want to use my phone as a wifi hotspot, but I would like my phone to allow access to only some ip adresses (my mail server actually).
This way if my PC try to go to another site (say "windows update" site) the phone will not forward its http request, thus limiting data consumption.
Is there an app on the market that does it ?
Thanks in advance, and I hope my english is understandable.
Regards,
Phil
Not exactly what you want but, a firewall with ip filtering on your pc might help?
Thanks for the answer. It would be a solution, but it has some cons :
1) my main PC is my work-computer. So, tools like firewalls or this kind of parameters are controlled by the security engineer of my company.
2) I will use the hotspot with 3 PC (home, work, friend). If IP filtering take place on the phone, I have to configure it only once instead of 3 time.
3) On the PC, I will have to switch between firewall configs depending if i am using the hotspot or my home wifi.
