Terminal services client - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

i have been searching for a good terminal server, to install on my HOME PC
( or any other terminal server, so i can try the client... ) :arrow:
i havnen't been able to connect it to anything..... :x
I'm asuming it looks for port 23 on the server.... :?:
anyone ever used it yet ?
where ?
how ?
thanks for ANY info on this subject

You have apparently mistaken Terminal services for telnet
Telnet is basicaly a text mode terminal access. Terminal services is a remote desktop application with support for sharing all kinds of resources with the host, like sound, disk, network, all kinds of services. The Pocket PC client is capable of sharing mouse and keyboard with 8-bit 640x480 desktop depth maximum. But through GPRS, it is nearly unusable due to extreme latencies and high demand on connection bandwidth.

If you want to try it, you need Terminal service server running somewhere. The easiest way is with WinXP Professional, just go to Control panel/System/Remote access and select users who can connect remotely. Then, enter your home computer's IP address in the client and click connect. Your logon screen should appear.

terminal
Thanks,
now i understand...

How to improve TS client screen resolution?
How can I improve Terminal Services Client's screen resolution from 640x480 to 800x600 on my PDA?
We have a study system in my school that we can reach via Remote Desktop, and sign up for exams etc. It's good, because I can reach it with XDA, but now, the policy is changed, and the minimum screen resolution of the clients is limited from 640x480 to 800x600. :x
There are any registry settings or 3th party clients, that customizable?

3rd party host, but not a third party client thatcan enforce a specific resolution, if that is available i would be able to see my security cams which require an applet and res size of 1024x768.
a host program service that has a free version...
u must add a computer in logmein.com but it gives you the actual desktop session rather than an isolated terminal session if someone is logged on locally it will "share". The thing is that it will give whatever resolution that the computer host is using and can size down to fit screen or use instead of scroll bars like tsc some way to adjust screen by pointing to the corner & center edges. Worth a try and free, and best of all does NOT need any firewall port open on router but it must be allowed to use internet if you run a software version of firewall on the local computer host.

Can anyone tell me where i can get the ts client to my htc rose?

remote desktop or logmein

love the PK 3.0 ROM. its a real joy to use. cannot try remote desktop as my home pc runs on xp home edition. can anyone tell me if its worth to upgrade to proffesional to be able to use remote desktop or does logmein work just the same?
Remote desktop allows to use the athena keyboard and it rescales the PC screen to 640x480 instead of resizing it and this means "normal size" icons and text.
Using LOGMEIN the WM client allows only to RESIZE and sometimes the PC isn't readable or you have to scroll continuosly and you need to use his on-screen Kb.
Remote desktop needs a "public IP" and firewall configuration to be reached fron the phone and only ONE in the home/SOHO network could be reached if you have a single public IP.
Logmein is easier to configure, remote desktop requires some firewall/nat control.
I use both!
logmein can change the resolution to anything you want
and is far quicker and easier to use .
No need to open ports either and you can use the athena keyboard as well
I also use LogMeIn. It gives lots of control of display. The free version is very usable. The Pro version adds more features (file transfer is particularly nice) but it does cost a few clams.

sERGIOPI: CAN YOU PUT THE NEEDED STEPS FOR HAVING RUNNING REMOTE DESKTOP?
I cannot have running my device... My problem start about what to do on the pc,
To enable incoming RDP on XP pro...
right click my computer
Choose properties
Then the Remote tab
once in here you can tick the Allow users to connect remotely box.
you can choose who you want to be able to access.
then apply/Ok and your good to go.
I agree, I've tested logmein some time ago and now the WM Client can use the keyboard and chose the resolution.
Sometime it loses the pointer when you change the resolution, some "screen misaligment" and you have to close and open it again

access IP camera (Gadspot) from HTC Hermes

I have a Gadspot N1250 IP camera which is directly connected to my local network.
My HTC is also connected to the same network which means there is no firewall between 2 devices.
I am trying to access the camera's video stream through my HTC Hermes.
I can access the administration web page of the camera with URL :
http://192.168.254.25
I can login through that page but the camera view does not show up.
On PC, after logging in I can see the Video stream with an ActiveX component which is directly installed to my IE over the cam's web page.
I can also reach the IP cam video stream using VLC player with a URL like:
rtsp://192.168.254.25:554/video.mp4
But neither with Pocket IE , nor with Pocket Media Player I couldn't reach following urls:
rtsp://192.168.254.25:554/video.mp4
http://192.168.254.25
I am looking for any solution (new software, URL) to reach the IP cam.
Can anyone advise me what to do ?
Thanks.
It also works through Windows Media Player with URL:
rtsp://192.168.254.25:554/video.3gp
But I still could not find a URL for WM6.
Any guess ?
Hi!
I have a N1250 wireless IP Camera, however after installing it, I have a black screen when running it with IE6 (Win XP ScePK2) and typing the Cam IP address on the address bar.
I allowed/enabled all the active x scripts on Tools/Options IE, but it is still a very nice black screen!!. I'm using a wireless router Linksys.
As a note the active x that came with the cd was already installed.
I tried FireFox and Netscape, but they seem to be worse: there is no camera screen at all! all the page is white.
So what to do next??
Anyone has an idea??
do you see it on PC ?
I mean where is the blank scren problem ?
On PC or on HTC ?
HTC Video Ip cameras
Mrmrmrmr,
Had the same issue a while years back. We internally needed to see different cameras , behind firewalls , multiple locations, password protected,corporate VPN's, PTZ etc. So we built it into a product that did more than just cameras, but it was for internal use only.
We have finally recieved the ok to release the camera only version. The geeks in this group get to help this community out.
This release will always have a free IP camera input. One to see your favorite petcam, your childs daycare center, your favorite beach cam, your home/office security IP cam etc.
www.securenetworksystems.com/video-impact
Please let us know if this helps. Also which phones you had good success with or tested it with.
Thx
Thanks; I will try this asap.
Hi L4z3r,
I'e tried your software but it seems that it does not have support for my camera.
I use a Gadspot N1250 which supports mjpeg but I couldn't connect to the camera neither by http://192.168.254.25 nor http://192.168.254.25/index2.htm
I also tried rtsp link to the cam but nothing happened.
interestingly, the software does not pop up any error messages.
Just nothing.
On HTC P3450 doesn't work and with the complete url too

The URL needs to be the full URL to the image location itself and not the page that it appears on, sorry for any confusion. The README should contain the appropriate steps, but basically go to the page on your computer where the JPG or MJPEG stream is viewable, right click the image and select properties. This should bring up a information box with the full url of the image (should in .jpg, .mjpg, or something similar; although I have seen it as a .cgi but I had to view the page source to find that one, .cgi usually lets you pass parameters such as video size you want it). But if it's not a Axis or Panasonic, you will need to enter the full URL of the image location, select "Other" for camera manufacture, and make sure it's the appropriate stream type (MJPEG is handled differently than JPEG). If it is an Axis or Panasonic, please do not enter the image location, just do the IP or DNS name (192.168.0.100 or yourdnsname.com:8080 (this is how you do a camera who is set up on a different port than the standard 80)).
I have seen a problem with larger images, like ones that are ~640x480 or larger. rollins2, if you could let me know what type of camera you are using, I can try to help more. Plus if we see a lot of demand for a type of camera, we may be able to add support for it.
Hope this helps, and please do read the README, it has some helpful tips on getting started with the app.
In case anyone is still interested, I also have a gadspot camera N1250 and was trying to figure out running it on my cell phone for years. I had a second kid born this week and put up the camera in his room and finally was able to stream it and view still images from my nokia phone. The still images are ran with the standard phone web browser. However, the streaming is running via realplayer that was included with the phone, using your method similar to rtsp://192.168.254.25:554/video.3gp.
I think any phone with a realplayer will be able to play the streaming video since it usually works with windows.
That being said, the above method does not work on Windows Media Player for some reason, however, I am fine streaming with EI.
Moved you over from rom dev to software.
Peace

[Q] ES File Explorer set-up

I've installed ES File Explorer on my Prime under the impression it will let me browse my shared files and folders on my laptop. So I go to the 'LAN Shares' page in ES and run a scan. My laptop shows up, but when I click on it I get the error 'Login failure. Try new user name/password?' Thing is, I don't have a password on my laptop... so how do I get around this?
Also, on Windows 7 how do I make sure I'm properly set-up for file sharing?
I think you just right click on c or your doc folder and you see sharing options. ES is working great for me. I do believe you have to make the computer open to the world, so remember to stop sharing if it is a laptop you take away from home.
when on the main ES explorer screen...
1. swipe your finger to the left..
2. add a "server" in this case your PC IP address with user/passwd if needed
3. if any shares are available on your PC they will get listed right away...
hope it helps.

Yes I've done that, but my problem is that I don't have a username or password on my laptop but ES keeps asking for it!
Create a user on the laptop called share with the password share or something.
Then give the diesired folder access-rights to this user.

Well yes but I'd rather not have to put a password in everytime I boot windows. There must be a way to get this working without having to set up a user account in windows...?

How did u created the shares?
Is the "everyone" group listed as having access rights on the "Shared" folders you're sharing?
I don't think you understand. Your username is literally your user name. It's your user account. If you don't have a password for your user account, you still need to enter the "login name" for your user account whether it be the default "Administrator" or "User" and leave the password field empty.
My user name in Windows is buymecar. My login password is ilovexda. You get where I'm going with this?

make sure you turn off password protection for shares in...
but you can always set a password, and set window to auto login buy running "control userpasswords2"

Right.... and make sure that "Anonymous" has rights to access the shares. That will be under your Local Policy settings if you want to go that deep.
Okay got it working, thanks for the help guys. The problem was that all my media is on an external hard drive. In case anyone else has this problem and stumbles upon this thread, here's what I did:
1. Right clicked the external hdd and went to sharing tab. At the bottom it said that I had password protection on, so I followed the instructions there to disable it.
2. The 'Share' button in the sharing tab was greyed out so I had to go into advanced sharing and check 'Share this folder'.
3. I then went into the security tab of the properties pane and gave my user account all permissions. My user account is the only account and therefore has admin rights, so I don't know why I had to do this.
4. I then created a new username called 'everyone', and gave it all permissions.
5. Clicked okay and close, and I could then access it via ES on my prime.
The reason I didn't mention the hdd in the OP is because at that point I couldn't access the laptop at all. Once I did the above everything worked. I think having password protection on was preventing me from getting into my laptop at all, as I don't have any passwords in windows.
Thanks for the help! I now have access to all my media on my prime. Good times.
EDIT. Turns out the username 'everyone' doesn't need all permissions. I didn't like the idea of 'everyone' having full control over my hdd so I changed the permissions to just allow reading and writing, no modifying etc. Still works.
Cool beans....
What kind of data transfer rates are normal for transfer between two wireless devices? Wireless G that is. Both devices are very close to the router. I should be able to stream 720p video comfortably right? But it doesn't seem to keep up.
Is there a way of testing this speed?

There is currently no tablet app that I know of that test speed (wifi analyzers scan wifi signal strength) but speedtest app can test you internet connection. For local speed, you can transfer a big file and look at the transfer rate. Ideally, the between 1-2 meters away for the router is the best.
"When testing throughput do it ~1 meter from the AP and test between a wireless client and a wired client. Doing it far away/behind walls/downstairs/etc will have reduced rates and is a different problem to solve. Being extremely close can lower performance by overloading the receiver" -dd-wrt.com
Wireless G is 54 Mbits/s but real world test is ~22 Mbits/s down and ~2.5 Mbit/s....720p streams at 2.5 Mbit/s (for VC-1 and lower formats) up to 5Mbit/s (for H.264 and better quality formats) so it depends on a lot of things. Short answer yes. BUT if you source is on wifi too rather than LAN then there is a high chance that it won't be smooth. Also depending on whether you are the only one connected, the router brand, how good your source is, etc. 720p on 802.11g is hit and miss (mostly miss) so consider a wireless N 300M/bits router
All this can be found on google (feel free to correct me) and please click THANKS if this helped you.
That makes a lot of sense. The file I've been using is a high quality .mkv file, so that's probably the issue.
google is great, here are some good resources for a beginner:
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-7/share-files-and-printers-between-windows-7-and-xp/

http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/7412-guest-account-turn-off.html
If you do use a password ES has problems with non alphanumeric characters sometimes.
ES gives access to network shares by buffering the files via an internal webserver, this means it significantly reduces performance. If you want to watch HD mkv's I would recommend using CifsManager:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442928&highlight=cifsmanager
I use it with MX player or Dice and have no issues watching 1080 mkv movies over wireless g if I'm not too far from the access point.
---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------
As a note "not to far" is roughly upto about 35 feet for G or 50 for N for me with 1080.
Even if you move to wireless N, ES file explorer will not perform as well as CifsManager with HD videos.
Never share your OS drive. Just share a folder(s) that are on your OS drive. Give anonymous access to these particular folders, so when any client that looks for shared folders they will see these folders there. Shouldn't have to input any log in information at all.
breakshift, I am trying also to access my external hdd on my Prime. I followed your steps, but still cannot determine the correct username and password combination. What did you end up using?
Well since I did what I described in that post, it all works. Are you able to connect to the computer at all? Or is it just when you try to go into the HDD it refuses you?
ES doesn't ask for a username or password at all for me anymore. Does it prompt you for that info? If so, do you have a password set up on your user account on your computer?
When I try to watch videos using es file explorer on mg galaxy s2, sometimes it connects and sometimes it doesn't. If I restart my desktop pc, it will work for about half an hour then fail to login again.
This is what I'm always getting, https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B90aBBkpJZ8tS3NINU9fbDBDUzA/edit would appreciate it someone can help.
I'm using windows 7 pro 64bit
Everyone else in my family can stream the shared files with their windows laptop.
After restarting my computer(the pc with the shared files), my brother and I can stream for about 30 minutes, then I have to restart my pc again.
I have a password on my pc, but even when I put it in the edit server options it still doesn't work. I'm thinking it may be a firewall or router setting?

VNC + VirtualBox = Full OS on your phone

I'm probably not the only one that has done this,but yesterday at work I setup a headless Windows XP VM with virtualbox on a computer,and used RealVNC Viewer on my phone to login remotely,and it worked pretty well. Our service order system does not display correctly in mobile web browsers (even the ones you can set to view in desktop mode),so this was an interesting alternative. I didnt specifically do this for my phone,but more or less to see how it would work on a bigger tablet. I used RealVNC,which is a paid app,but its definitely one of the best ones out there for this setup, more on that at the end.
Anyway,heres a few pointers if anyone wants to try this out.
1. Install virtualbox (and the extension pack),install your favorite guest OS and install your favorite VNC server (I just used TightVNC for the server as well). Also, shut down the VM and change the network type from NAT to Bridge (so it gets an IP from your network). Start it back up, get the IP address and shut it back down.
2. With the VM off,start it back up in headless mode:
My host OS was windows 7,so I created a batch file in the VB program files folder and added this:
Code:
VBoxManage startvm "VM name" --type headless
Then I made a shortcut to the batch file on the desktop.
the command is same for linux,but you can run it from any terminal directory I do believe
3. Give it a min to boot up,then adjust the resolution with:
Use this one time command,adjust the values if necessary. I created another batch file to run this command,then changed it for the next command we have to run.
Code:
VBoxManage setextradata global GUI/MaxGuestResolution 1920,1200
that will allow VirtualBox to globally use any resolution up to 1920x1200,but it wont actually change it,that is what the next one is for,this changes it on the fly:
Code:
VBoxManage controlvm "VM name" setvideomodehint 960 503 24
for best usage,disconnect and reconnect from the phone when changing it on the fly,RealVNC didnt exactly like the resolution changing while logged in.
Now with the RealVNC viewer,it keeps the notification bar at the top,so you cant exactly use it full screen,so thats why its not 960x540.
The realVNC app for 9.99 is worth it,all the other remote apps I have tried are either slower,or had dumb control schemes. This one seems to work the best. Also,I have never used the built in remote display function,so I dont know if it would work any better or not.
I had very minimal lag with 24 bit color on the phone,this method will work on any android device,you just have to figure out the maximum resolution to use without having to pan the screen. Obviously this will work great at home or at work using wifi,but not that great using 3G service.
thats pretty bad ass. For the Tegra 3 crowd, such as myself, Splashtop THD is more than just for gaming, again, it is paid like RealVNC, but the best part about it is it runs nearly lagless. Give it a shot if your hardware supports it

LAN(WiFi)-only remote desktop Android app

Hey guys,
I used Chrome Remote desktop for a little while to view/control my computer from my Android phone. It works remarkably well but I got a little sketched out by the permissions Chrome Remote Desktop requires from your computer (basically full access). The permissions do make sense, since you need full access, and it has to go through an internet third party "cloud" (Google). However I think I'd feel better if there was something that didn't send out everything through the cloud and instead just used the Local Area Network (LAN through Wi-Fi). What do you guys use/can recommend?
I do use Unified Remote when I just need to move the mouse/type remotely without a video feed showing on the phone. For example I use it when my laptop is hooked up to the TV for a movie and I can still see the TV, but I do not use its screen mirroring feature. It's a paid option and not sure if it stays LAN only or goes through their servers.
Anyone? Thread was moved.
