What is EventGhost?
EventGhost is an advanced, easy to use and extensible automation tool for MS Windows. It can use different input devices like infrared or wireless remote controls to trigger macros, that on their part control a computer and its attached hardware. So it can be used to control a Media-PC with a normal consumer remote. But its possible uses go much beyond this.

was about to try this but I am having problems with the IP address.
EG runs on a system (Windows 8.1 64bit) with the IP: 192.168.2.102
I've setup RemoteGhost on the phone with that IP address and I am using the default port.
apparently EG is receiving the command but the log lists
TCP.mute ['192.168.2.103', u'RemoteGhost']
which makes no sense
I checked my router and there is no redirect/port forward I can see that would cause this.
PS. Other EG plugins (like MusicBee) work perfectly fine with a www server by Pako.
any help appreciated.
cheers
edit:
never mind. after setting up e.g. VLC player I was able to get this to work. it still lists the wrong IP address but once I assign the received commands to the VLC player configuration buttons it works anyway.
cheers

Hello
Log list the phone Ip address and not your EG ipaddress.
So everything is working fine.
TCP.mute ['192.168.2.103', u'RemoteGhost']
And when you map this event with application context in Eventghost there is no link with ip address so it will work regardless of phone ip.
For example mute button will be : TCP.mute
May be in next version I will add dns name support for EventGhost server and maybe an autodiscover system over lan.

Hi
If anybody is interested in having RIM Blackberry + loads more functionality on an XDA, please take a look at - [http://www.a2000d.com/Duality_Always-On_Mail.htm] This is a server based product & suitable for 10 or more users.
Cheers
John[/url]
Wow, that's a lot of complexity to do something that's essentially already built into the device.
Hi, I think you may have missed the point somewhere along the line, sorry if I didn't make things clearer. This is full GPRS PUSH email which the XDA, in it's native form, isn't capable of.
Hope this helps.
No real difference. It keeps the GPRS connection open, just like keeping it open and having your mail software check for mail every five minutes. No effective difference, unless your e-mail is so important that you can't wait five minutes. But then you could set it to check once a minute.
It's not a true push in the sense that the server can't initiate the inbound connection.
Something pretty similar and cheap could be set up quite easily. The basic problem is that the XDA can't hold a GPRS connection permanently. You don't see the advertising bunf about 'always on connections' any more.
You could get blackberry-like functionality with two simple apps: one that runs on your exchange server that gets an SMS gateway to send you an SMS in a particular format when you have mail that hasn't been retrieved for a few minutes. And one that sits on the XDA checking incoming SMSs and when the 'check your mail' message comes in, starts attempting to start a GPRS connection and poll your server.
I agree with Andy. In fact I just noticed that T-Mobile are offering this very capability to all e-mail subscribers right now. The PPC client has to have an additional option ('my alerts') that has the specific functionality aka: read the 'hidden' SMS message and go and retrieve the mail.
Only problem seems to be that this additional option in the WM2003 e-mail client is not available as a separate download, but built into the ROM image. Seems that the only device that has it built in right now is the new HP PPC phone. I enabled this service on my t-mobile account and I receive the special SMS message fine, but my XDA e-mail client is not smart enough to recognize the special SMS message and then go an pull the mail down. I still have to do it manually. Still we are getting close to 'psydo push' e-mail I guess!! Does anyone know of an e-mail client for the PPC that has this functionality built in to it???
Look ay iAnywhere's Pylon Anywhere solution, it is better.
Only US $634 for five users (includes server back-end and client software), runs of Exchange or Notes. As for clients, it provides support for a broad range of handheld devices, including Palm OS, Microsoft Pocket PC and Smartphone, Symbian OS, SyncML, and WAP-based devices. Even supports RIM devices.
Communication is fully encrypted!

It provides three connection types; ReadySync, network push and SMS push - of course you can manually sync as well.
Most of the providers (mobile) use some sort of SMS push to triggger your device to sync to get new mail. This solution supports that, if you want it. The network push is real-time, if something triggers the monitoring server it immediately has your device sync that information type. Pylon Anywhere can monitor and sync Inbox, Drafts, Sent Items, Calendar, Contacts, Notes. From both the client and server sides.
There are a ton more features that are incredible, like killing (hard reset) a device remotely if stolen/lost. I will have a review up by the end of the week, will post here (if I can).
Thanks Nighthawk. Looks pretty interesting and quite a bit cheaper than the Intellisync product I have been looking at.
I have downloaded the documentation and am thinking about doing the 30 day trial, but I am a bit confused about the various hardware requirements. All I use right now is a WIN XP laptop with MS Outlook for mail. My mail is POP 3 from BellSouth and I have a DSL connection to the Bellsouth account via a dynamic IP address.
It looks like that to install the PylonAnywhere server, I am going to need MS Exchange, a static IP address and my own domain..... Am I reading that right, or can I simpy install the PylonAnywhere server software on my laptop and point it to the BellSouth POP 3 account for my mail? Any idea?
Many Thanks!
CB
Yep, this is a server based system. Connects to your exisiting Exchange or Notes mail server(s).
You sound like your just connecting to your own desktop, hmmm.
You might want to look at Smartner's Duality Professional edition or Internet Edition.
Go here: http://www.smartner.com/products/professional.html
These two are based on a single user concept vs. enterprise.
Hope that helps, let me know how things go.
Yes, I came across the Smartner product in my sesrches too. Does not appear to be available in the USA form some reason... In fact the licencing agreement actually precludes you from installing it if you live in the USA. Must have some kind of licencing problems I guess.
...?
I saw that while looking at their web site, kinda concerned me :?:
One could only speculate as to why, since not listed anywhere.
I think you can still DL the trial vesion off their site thoguh. If not, check out Handango, they have two versions listed (one a monthly contract).
Hi Nighthawk.
Yes, I did manage to download the trial, but it seems to be the 'enterprise' version, with functionality and architecture very similar to Intellisync and Pylon. I did not see a trial for any of the basic connectivity versions... I think I will call Smartner on Monday and see what the deal is with the licensing. I suspect it may be some kind of patent issue with one of the other providers... I'll let you know what I find out.
To download the Enterprise trial I had to request it via an e-mail, awaiting responce.
The Handango version is the Professional version, you can DL a trial version (doing it now).
Definately let me know what you find out from them, thanks.
Hey..
Smartner Duality is quite a good package for RIM like functionality. I bought the professional version a couple of months ago. It was easy to install etc. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it only does e-mail. It doesn't sync your calendar/todo. Their Enterprise edition is the only one that will do calendar/todo. Other than that it works great.
I'm definately thinking about trying Pylon Anywhere after reading this thread 'cause I want calendar/todo syncing... And quite cheaper that Duality Enterprise's smallest license.
Thanks Nighthawk. I think the professional was the version I downloaded from Handango. It looked like it still required an exchange server, but I stopped when the licence agreement said 'NO' to installing in USA... I'll let you know what they say... In the mean time, do you know of any 3rd party e-mail apps for PPC that are more reliable for checking the POP 3 server? The Pocket Outlook app time interval ba ed checking seems very intermittant and unreliable.
am-imate,
If you have any questions about Pylon Anywhere just let me know, more than happy to help. The server install is pretty easy, you will need Outlook 2000 w/SP2 (only) and java installed for the machines (server) browser.
cbrow51,
I remember seeing something, will check when I get home for ya. Think I saved a link.

Well Nighthawk, I have a question on all this, a kind of « question asked by a dummy » for I know little but not enough to make my way through all the material posted here.
I would like to create a Blackberry like function on my XDA. I’ve looked at this post and got some part of it very clear. The rest remain quite unclear.
My company uses MS exchange server in the office and I have a PC with Outlook on XP on my PC. My company already uses blackberry solution which I do not have but would like to uses my XDA instead to avoid duplication of hardware.
If my understanding is correct,
1. I need to install Pylon Anywhere (or some other application) on my XDA to collect my new mail.
2. I need to liaise with my Mail server administrator to have the server send my XDA a special SMS to silently trigger the synchronization process.
3. I will use on my XDA ActiveSync Inbox to read my mail on my XDA.
Now, this seems to be too simple. Did I put all the pieces in the right place?
Email Push
I'm using the Mnotes program on my i-mate for Lotus Notes wireless push. It works well, the push works flawlessly and doesn't require installation on the server-just my desktop which acts like a server for my handheld. I also have it working through our firewall using a Movian VPN(v4.0). All of this works through my gprs connect.
The only downside is that an incoming or outgoing call interrupts the gprs and the VPN disconnects and must be manually re-connected. on i-Mate

Pylon Anywhere requires a server back-end, meaning you must install a Pylon Anywhere server into your network. This server connects to your companies Exchange/Notes server. It then communicates with the Pylon Anywhere client software on your device, after you have it installed by the server.

NightHawk,
Much obliged, I may send you a PM with a few questions if that's OK..
Did you install the Demo before the real thing?
Thanks,
I'm no longer working so I've removed the link to my old company.
I've added test version of the cab file that hopefully fixes group sms messages. PocketSMS204.cab
I've just uploaded another release of the desktop application that does not expire.
Version 2.03
Added File\Preferences to allow for different inbox and sent folder names.
Fixed the Invalid Address problem on the pocket pc when sending messages.
Version 2.02
Fixed ip issues on the pocket pc, Moved the files into your "my documents"
Saved the distribution lists.
Version 2.01g Pocket PC Cab - removed
Even more error trapping. ...... Well I thought the new library worked
Version 2.01f Pocket PC Cab
Error trapping for ObjectDisposed problem
Version 2.01e Pocket PC Cab
Fixes date issue on new SMS
Version 2.01d Desktop and Pocket PC installs.
I've made a few tiny cosmetic changes to the desktop application and re-built the Pocket PC application to make sure it is Compact Framework 2.0.
Version 2.01c PocketSMS.cab
New version of the inthehand library so it should work better )
Version 2.01b PocketSMS.cab
I've added a new PDA version with a tiny fix for people with no inbox folders.
just install this instead of the cab with 2.01.
I've gone back to an earlier release of the inthehand library and deleted one line of my code.
Version 2.01
I've finished putting the menus back together that I broke when making the app pretty.
Message Interception now should work better and not crash the app.
Version 2.0
I've upgraded the design and fixed a few issues. Many of the (context) menu actions don't work at the moment but will as soon as I get round to them.
I found I needed to soft-reset my device after the install.
If you have used previous version then copy your original sms.xml and contacts.xml files to the new program directory on your desktop before you run the application the first time.
Version 1.12 (removed)
1. More Error checking.
2. Excel Export
3. Extended character support.
I've added a Smartphone 1.11 cab file.
Version 1.11
This has the new inthehand library which solves a major issue with sendind SMS messages.
It need to access your phone number. On some phones it does this by accessing the SIM card on others it gets the number from the Owner information.
Version 1.09
Hopefully this will solve the Connection problem one or several people have been having.
Version 1.08
Fixed the invalidcast problem and tidied up the communication from the pda to the desktop.
Version 1.07a Desktop and 1.07 Pocket PC release.
27th Oct Added more error trapping to the pocket pc application, now added a smartphone 1.07 release. Smartphone users need to get the desktop application from the other zip file.
I've tidied a few things up and fixed a few reported bugs.
I'm looking for feedback now on what people would like next.
Pocket SMS V1.06 (Alpha) is available.( removed the binaries)
V1.06 takes some of the processing off the phone and moves it to the desktop so the performance is so much better.
Just added PocketSMS_Smartphone_105.zip This contains a totally untested build for the smartphone.
Install the PocketSMS_SmartPhone.Cab on your device. You may need to install the inthehand.mobile.2.1.cab too.
Pocket SMS is a desktop SMS Manager designed to interface directly with Pocket PC Phones.
Key features:
Full Backup of All text messages
Chat history by Contact
Send Text Messages from the desktop
Distribution Lists for sending Scheduled text Messages
Folder Management
Telephone a contact
Instructions
For Pocket SMS to work you must be connected via Activesync or, for Vista users, Windows Mobile Device Centre 6.1 (or better).
The software comes in two parts: the desktop Manager and the pocket pc client. You must install the PocketSMS.Cab on your mobile device and the SMSManager.msi on your desktop. In addition if you have not already installed Compact Framework 3.5 on your mobile then run NETCFSetupv35.msi on your desktop to do the installation. You can doenload the Compact Framework here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...37-A62F-4A6E-9727-7791BF4CC2BD&displaylang=en
The first time you connect, depending on the performance of your phone and the number of messages in your SMS folders, Pocket SMS can take quite a few minutes to “look” as if it’s working ….. be patient.
Your Contacts can be downloaded by using File\Synchronise Contacts.
You can view all the contacts by double clicking on "Contacts" in the view.
You can create as many Distribution Lists as you like and Lists can contain more lists or people. You can drag and drop people or messages into any list.
I'm adding more features as I can and still trying to improve the reliabliity.
Let me know what changes you would like.
Regards
Pete

I'm writing a free desktop SMS manager that will allow you to:
backup SMS messages onto your desktop.
Send texts from the desktop.
Dial a contact from the desktop.
Reply,Delete, Move folders.
View texts by contact.
I would also like to add MMS messages but have failed to get anywhere with them. I have contacted Arcsoft but the very nice VP of Sales wants $200,000.00 for his developer kit.
Has anyone had any luck in interfacing to the Arcsoft MMS?

Thats very interesting!
keep on the updates !!
Well, regarding MMS, what you "could" do, is call the pocket pc composer via a RAPI call. Other than that, you'll definitively need some kind of SDK, since the MMS service is not a standard one.
Wow, I can't wait infopete
That sounds like a great app you are working on, even if you cannot get the MMS portion to work. Please let us know when the app is ready and how we can obtain it. I'd definitely like an easy desktop means of backing up my SMS messages. I always hate having to lose them when I do a hard reset. Keep up the good work and thank you for your efforts.
Pete,
If you are gauging interest for this app then I, for one, am definitely interested. Looking forward to it, especially the backup facility.

SMS manager
Hi,
Peter Foot of inthehand fame is hoping to do something with MMS. So I may be able to extend the Manager to MMS later in the year.
The second alpha release should be by Monday. The xda-orbit guys gave me a big list of "wants" while I was on holiday and I'm working through this before the next release.
If you have any definate requirements (other than the obvious) let me know.
Pete
Just wondering, doesnt SOTI PocketController do all the things you have mentioned from your phone?
You just go to create an SMS when your connected and type it in with your keyboard - the keyboard inputs it on your phone via your computer.
Maybe im missing the point of what your trying to do?
SOTI
Hi
Soti is an excellent tool, I use it all the time.
I agree the functionality I'm offering will be much as you get on the XDA.
But this way you can delete messages off your phone and keep a history on your desktop.
Plus the interface should be quicker and of course much much bigger.
Pete
SMS Manager Alpha release
Hi,
the next alpha release of SMSmanager is here. It's not finished so some things don't work. However, I'd like to get it tested and have some feedback before I go much further.
I have attached a zip file. Unpack it. Copy the cab file to your phone and install it on the device. (not the storage card). I had to do a soft reset on mine before it appeared in programs. Do not start the application.
Then install the desktop application and launch it.
If i've done my job right the desktop application will launch the pocket application and they will start to chatter to each other.
All your texts and contacts should appear on the desktop.
If you have any problems email me
I've tested it on an Orbit and an Exec.
Regards
Pete
Now that is really cool, it crashes alot on vista, but if i stay in the inbox all the sms can be read fine.
there is a strange horizontal bar that i keep managing to grab with the mouse and its only once actually resized anything.
When trying to send a txt i got this error
Unhandled exception has occured in your application
I clicked continue, it crashed
anyhow...this is only the 1st alpha, and you proved it works, if you want me to post the full error i got when sending lemme know,
I can see this app evolving into what has been needed for years
As youve got it setup, ive had nothing to do on the ppc app, can this just be turned into a system tray icon, as we dont really need to see it and some options could be configured there. could it then also close itself when disconnected? after all you only have to open the pc app to connect in again.
10/10 on the concept here tho, very small, very simple, and it kinda works
Will save so much time when im already at a pc that i sync with, ie home machine and work, i have partnerships with both.
I love it!!
Is it possible to make a version that is embedded into Outlook as an extension/addon ?
vista
B***** I thought I had solved the Vista issues. I'll try it later to see what I get. If you email me the errors and any screen dumps it may be uselful
The Pocket pc application will eventually be hidden. I keep it visible at the moment to make sure it's working and to keep an eye on it. If you minimize it it should carry on working.
What xda are you running it on?
Pete
Pete,
I take it that your tool is device independent? If yes I would be happy to test it on a Hermes/Tytn running WM6. Desktop is XP/SP2.
Let me know.
Cheers
WB
Hi
or the last two questions:
Yes I hope to create a pluin for outlook and live.
I have tested it on an xda exec and orbit and my colleagues on other devices.
It's supposed to work on anything but that's what bill gates says.
If you have specific problems let me know.
Pete
Thanks - Outlook extension would be awesome =)
Goodjob and goodluck w/ the updates, will be looking for them!

Pete,
Re te ability to send SMS to multiple contacts, it would be good if the tool could:
- Have the ability to send an sms to multiple contacts by putting ticks agains the names to be included on the sms distribution list, taken off the full list of contacts. What I mean by this is that you would select the names you want to send a message to off a list drawn directly from Contacts by simply putting a tick against selected names.
- Do the same but be able to select a preset distribution list (so I guess the tool needs tha ability for one to be able to create multiple distribution lists and store them for later use).
- Work the other way round, with the ability to send mutiple, differeing sms to a single contact (hope this is not too challenging, from a development standpoint)
- Text sent using this tool must be stored within the Sent box (I have used other tools that don't do this and its a real pain trying to remember what text you sent and to whom).
- Have the ability to move/refile texts into different folders.
if I think of any more I will let you know.
Cheers

Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone know a good free SyncML program available?
Thanks
to what O/S are you trying to sync? i use Synce to sync with Linux:

Hi catfishk,
Thanks for the reply. I'm looking for a client program for the Tytan which this program will not do.
Any one have any suggestion?

Try Funambol. It's open source and configurable... let me see... yes, here: https://www.forge.funambol.org/
Thanks Drnoir,
I have look at this product. It is very nice but the only thing that I don't like is that it Sync all your phone contact, and schedule information to the Funambol server. I was looking for a client which will sync with my office instead.
If you tell me what office service you're using, I might be able to help. Let me know what the specific platforms are and what you need to do to be more precise.
Also, bear in mind that it will also work with any service using SyncML services, not just Funambol.
That said, if it's MS Office you're trying to sync, there is also an Outlook Funambol plugin that will let you pull down the data from the Funambol server. Thus, the server is just the bridge to your data sync needs.
Hi drnoir,
It's for a an email system called firstclass by open text http://www.firstclass.com/ .
I know, not many people used it but our organization is using it.

OK, I did some searching (all hail Google!) and found this article:
http://www.firstclass-groupware.de/FirstClass Extras/S00496427-00496428
with the following instructions:
Basic SyncML device setup
To transfer data from your device or application to your FirstClass account, make sure that the field names you enter match the names on FirstClass. To begin your device setup:
1 Open the SyncML client or menu on your device (refer to your product documentation).
2 Open the settings or profile item (different vendors use different terms for this).
3 Enter the Server URL/address of the FirstClass synchronization server as provided by your system administrator.
It will look something like:
http://<IP address of FirstClass Internet Services server>/cgi-bin/sync
4 Enter your FirstClass user ID and password in the appropriate fields.
5 Select the data types you want to synchronize.
You must set the folder/database names as follows:
Data Type Enter
for contacts contacts
for calendar events calendar
for tasks (to-do items) tasks

Please note that both the account, the server and the desktop client need to be configured too. Instructions are further down the line on the original document.
I used to use SwiFTP to transfer files thru WIFI,
however, it is not that convenient to update newer files.
Is there anyway to Sync files without USB cable?
oh I think I posted in wrong section..
I'm also interested in this question. Of course, there is dropbox...but that has a 2 gb limit. When you're on Linux or Mac, the easy thing to do is just create a little script that uses rsync to sync the two desired folders (no doubt dropbox uses the same mechanics).
What's the easiest way to keep two folders (one on your android, the other on a PC) synced?

To access your sdcard from windows explorer ... wireless.
Go here to get the FTP server for your phone https://market.android.com/details?...W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5yYXBmb3guZnRwc3ZyIl0./
it’s free and very easy to set up.
I then went to windows explorer and mapped my sdcard as a network drive.
if you are on a network the address will be whatever was assigned.
You can now access your Flyer's sdcard from windows explorer without plugging into usb.
Just use explorer to move files to and from your Flyer.
I then used MS Sync toy on my laptop http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=15155 Also free to sync music and photos.
Just start the ftp server on the Flyer and click sync on my laptop and everything syncs up
another one if you are rooted...
I found Root FTP Server here https://market.android.com/developer?pub=waterdev
Using this you will have full root access and can do anything root explorer can do
Moving files in and out, set permissions ... Very handy for me
Edit ... More info on Root FTP Server here ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945188
And yet another one:
Go to the market and get kWS web server https://market.android.com/details?...yZy54ZXVzdGVjaG5vbG9naWVzLmFuZHJvaWQua3dzIl0. ... rch_result it’s free.
Next go to http://www.no-ip.com/ and set up a free account. After you have chosen your account name (like http://xxxx.redirectme.net) go to account settings and check port80 redirect.
Now start kWS on your phone go to settings and set your dns server to no-ip.com and your username/password.
You can now access your sc card from any computer with an internet connection by going to your chosen web address (http:// xxxx.redirectme.net)
I use this to share cad files with my employees when I’m away from my office

I always use SyncToy to sync my usb drive,
but I dont know I can do it for FTP drive
I use SwiFTP server, I think it is the same.
But I don't know how to map it as a network drive.

I’m not sure about SwiFTP but with FTP Serve and Root FTP you just need to start one of them and you will see the IP address and user name for your Flyer.
Then on your windows computer right click computer icon on your desktop and select map network drive.
Then use the address from ftp serve … something like … ftp://[email protected]:2121/
You will then have a new drive in Mycomputer and windows explorer.
You can right click on that drive and place a shortcut on your desktop.
From then on just start FTP Serve then Dbl click that shortcut
I have 4 shortcuts … Phone sdcard, Phone Root, Flyer sdcard and Flyer root
Rarely do I need to use a USB cable with my devices
Can't post link yet...
Search for Cloudless on Market. It provides automated upload / download from a samba share.
Set itself up as a sync service, upload / download / both way to a windows network share.
The interface is not so nice but the function is good. After the setup, all my pictures are uploaded into my network share without me lifting a finger.
File Expert app, from the Android Market

Did not try it coz I don't like this permission sounds:
Your accounts:
use the authentication credentials of an account,
manage the accounts list,
act as an account authenticator

Do you have your flyer and computer on the same network?
Also don’t forget to put your user name in the address like ftp://****@192.168.1.1:2121/
Replace **** with your user name as shown in FTP Serve
edit: In the above example make sure you use the address shown in FTP Serve

Are you using this app? https://market.android.com/details?...W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5yYXBmb3guZnRwc3ZyIl0./
If so, just click on map network drive then after that window opens you will see a line that states “connect to a web site that you can use to store your documents and pictures” click on that line
Just follow directions and type in your FTP address something like this ftp://****@192.168.1.1:2121/
Be sure to use the address as shown in the app just adding the username part
Yes using that app already but still having that error
Did you do this part … just click on map network drive then after that window opens you will see a line that states “connect to a web site that you can use to store your documents and pictures” click on that line
Thanks for keeping helping me!
Finally map that, but another question.....
I can't create folder pair for this network drive as u said
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is the popup from creating folder pair in MS sync
You’re using windows 64 bit you should use Sync Center
See here … http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/How-to-keep-your-information-in-sync
That's because it set itself as a sync service.. each synchronize setting is consider as an account. Hence all the account related permission.

I would like to use an android as a Windows 10 PC terminal. I'm using a Samsung Fold3 running Android 12 if it matters. It seems like a fairly simple process. Enable Remote Desktop on the Windows 10 PC. Make sure the PC's firewall (and virus protection software) passes Remote Desktop access. Install Remote Desktop Client on the Android and setup the connection to the PC.
The Remote Desktop Client sees the PC, fills in the active user account and requests the user password. I can enter the password but the android does not respond to the "Continue" button and all I can do is cancel out of it. I can also try to edit the PC configuration to setup a user account so that a password does not need to be entered each time but in this case the save button is unresponsive whether or not a password is entered.
This same thing happens whether I select the PC found on the local wifi or I enter the PC's IP address manually (with or without the 3389 port number).
Can anyone give me a clue as to what I'm doing wrong or how to proceed?
Sorry. User error. I was doing something stupid.
Never mind.

Thanks for the link.
My initial problem was just a usage error getting Microsoft Remote Desktop Client to work when on the same network. I fixed that issue and am able to use it to control my PC from an android as long as I'm on the same local network which is useful but I would also like to be able to do it from anywhere on the internet.
Your link led to a discussion of this issue with the possibility of using port forwarding or a VPN to allow access to my PC from an external network with varying degrees of complexity and hacking potential.
The link also discussed using chrome and a google account to access my PC remotely. This is unacceptable because I won't use chrome and have uninstalled it from all my android devices plus although I do have a Google account, I only use it to explicitly download apps from the store and otherwise disable Google Play Services and the Google Play Store and will not use any app that requires Google Play Services to function. So this option is out.
The final option requires me to create an account at a third party site and presumably direct all of my traffic through this third party. This too is unacceptable to me.
So the question is, is there a simpler method to access my PC from an android device that's on a different network than having to setup a vpn or enabling port forwarding on my router, that doesn't require registering for and using a third party service to accomplish the goal?
