PLEASE HELP SUPPORT REMOTE TOUCH DEVELOPMENT:
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!

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.
I have figured out how to use Internet Sharing over WiFi, which essentially makes my Hermes an Access Point.
Do the following:
1) Open Settings->Internet Sharing. Enable IS for Bluetooth PAN.
2) Change HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PrivateInterface to "TIACXWLN1" (for the Hermes). It should currently be "BTPAN1".
3) Open Settings-> Connections -> Wi-Fi. Select Network Adapters tab. Click IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi.
4) Enter IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK.
5) Select Wireless tab. Add New.. to add the Network name for your ad-hoc network (I prefer "adhoc")
6) Set the client computer to use the same ad-hoc network. Client will receive an IP address from the device (don't need to manually set the IP).
And it works!
Interestingly, while IS was enabled, wifi stayed on and connected when the phone went to standby mode. Normally wifi turns off to save battery during standby. I imagine this will drain your battery in a hot minute, so bring your charger.
UPDATE (28-Oct-2007): Attached are some more beta releases of patched intshare.dll. I've created versions for most of the adapter names people have requested. By renaming this dll to intshare.dll and copying it to \Windows, Internet Sharing will use TIACXWLN1 (or whichever dll you use) when Bluetooth PAN is selected. I.e., if you use this, you will not need to make the registry changes above.
This will handle the registry part, but of course you'll still need to set up the ad-hoc network on your own.
UPDATE (03-Nov-2007): I've attached a beta version of the patched Internet Sharing app. It's in its own cab so it won't overwrite your existing IS. This app replaces Bluetooth PAN with 802.11b/g Wireless Ethernet. No registry hacking required. This app is well suited to replace the MS version on cooked ROMs.
If you use an adapter other than TIACXWLN1 then replace intshare.dll just as before.
UPDATE (08-Nov-2007): Attached is v 0.9.1 of the Internet Sharing Mod. This update addresses the 10 minute disconnect bug most people have experienced.

This is the first thing I'll try when i'm at home again!
I can't believe this! Waiting for this since i got my Hermes. Thx for this development. This is the greatest effort since Hard-SPL and WM6 upgrade.
Now I can connect my XBOX360 to the Internet without starting my PC and sharing it over PC-LAN. USB-Charger is at the Front of the XBOX360.
I hope it will work.
You said the Max-Connections can be reworked. Does this mean it will support Ad-Hoc AND WLAN-Routing to many recepients too?
This worked for me too on a Kaiser/TYTN II
I'm doing some additional experimentation to see what exactly this can do - for instance to replace a bluetooth connection to a laptop with a wifi one?

not sure what you mean by replacing the connection. With ICS, obviously you cant share your connection over BT while sharing it over WIFI. and you can normally use wifi to connect to another computer by using an ad-hoc connection and manually entering a private ip on the same subnet for each computer.
this is awesome. worked perfectly for me.
After trying to stuff around with a proxy server for days and then you come along with something as simple as this....

Were you able to use more than one client connected?
I'll admit..when I saw this my first thought was that this was another "How can I do internet sharing via wifi" and the title was just misleading..instead I find myself very impressed with your accomplishment. Very well done! As a "hack" untill you figure out how to mod the dll which I'm sure is only a matter of time now that you have pointed everyone in the right direction, you can export the registry key for both the Bluetooth adapter and the Wifi one and "import" whichever one you want to use at a given time...it's not pretty but it should work.
Some issues of concern would be that the AP is wide open and can be connected to by anyone with no password etc...the bluetooth pairing allowed some security but using the wifi doesn't have the same shared key protection...or am I missing something obvious?

When I used it I was only able to get one client to connect, however there is a reg value, HKLM\Comm\BTPAN1\Parms\MaxConnections that may help if it is changed from 1 to 2 (or whatever). But I haven't tried.
Interestingly, while IS was enabled, wifi stayed on and connected when the phone went to standby mode. Normally wifi turns off to save battery during standby. So that's a good thing, although I imagine this will drain your battery in a hot minute, so bring your charger.
I was going to release a patched intshare.dll so that the normal Internet Sharing utility can do this, but I'm having trouble changing the section addresses in the dll to the right values after I add data. If anyone knows how to do this PM me and I'll give you the details.

thank you.
this work actually stemmed from my trying to share my phone's tethered connection with another client. by which i mean, my laptop is in a cafe online through my 8525 using Internet Sharing(IS) over usb. and i want to provide a connection, through wifi or ethernet, to my gfriends laptop. this actually isnt normally possible b/c WM IS and XP Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) both have 192.168.0.1 hard-coded as the gateway IP. so the phone uses that IP to give my laptop a connection, and my laptop tries to use the same IP with ICS. anyway, it fails because of this. i was able to get past that problem by going into Settings -> Wi-Fi -> Network Adapters -> Remote-NDIS and manually setting 192.168.1.1. This lead to the breakthrough with regards to wifi. prior to that id been trying all different ways to have the wifi adapter spoof the bt pan, however i could never get dhcp to assign an IP to the client. this is what it took.
and it's great that DHCP does in fact work here. it makes it dead easy for any arbitrary client to get online. just join the adhoc network as if it were an AP.
anyway, security-wise the ad-hoc network can use WEP or WPA, so security doesn't have to be a problem. the procedures for doing this are the same as normal.
and i haven't tried that reg key to enable multiple clients. but it looked like an obvious choice. i'll leave that as an exercise for the reader

I ran into same issue with XP internet sharing. Another workaround is to have a linux machine do NAT( since you can specify the IP used there) to whatever other clients you want and have it connected via bluetooth dun or bluetooth PAND (which is the solution I use to give internet to my replaytv and a couple of laptops in the house)...my edge connection is my main internet feed..a cacheing proxy such as wwoffle, squid of my personal preference "polipo" helps alot to when using gprs/edge etc since it helps with the latency.

Impact on BT?
What a brill find. Well done.
Does it break anything with bluetooth?
Tx
can someone elaborate what this is for, maybe give a sample scenario on using this?
Is this basically allowing a computer to use the internet connection of the pda phone (ie EVDO, 1RxTT, etc.) through wifi, instead of bluetooth or USB cable? (ie tethering?)
if someone manages to get this working with xbox 360 make a tutorial plx ;D

I'll do a tutorial when i'm at home again. Maybe somebody with know-how can make a cab-file v1.0 for this "WLAN-Modem hack".
This surely will be a great app.
yes, your xbox and your psp should be able to connect just fine, as long as they support ad-hoc wireless (which i imagine they must). this hack will allow the phone to act like any normal wifi access point. the only difference is the client has to be seraching for ad-hoc networks in addition to normal APs.
the difficulty with creating a cab file at this point is that the registry setting is not persistent. that is, it must be set each time you enable IS. the setting is lost every time IS starts. this is why i am trying to patch the dll - so wifi will work as a normal, additional option in Internet Sharing (and hopefully this should be ready soon).

when you say click "IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi" do you mean the wifi network adapters in my case would be "tiacxwln compatible wireless ethernet"? im trying it on a 6700 WM5
I would LOVE to get this working on my TMO WM6 Wing, but I'm having issues:
1) Open Settings->Internet Sharing. Enable IS for Bluetooth PAN.
Got it - except on my device it's Programs -> accessories -> IS
2) Change HKLM\Comm\ConnectionSharing\PrivateInterface to "TIACXWLN1" (it should currently be "BTPAN1").
Check - but is the T1ACXWLN1 device specific? If so, how can I find the interface ID on my device?
3) Open Settings-> Connections -> Wi-Fi. Select Network Adapters tab. Click IEEE 802.11b/g Compatible Wi-Fi.
For me it's settings -> connections -> network cards, but I don't have an IEEE 802.11 listed. I connected to an existing AP, and found that my 'SDIO WLAN Wireless Adapter' does receive a DHCP address, so I tried changing it to 192.168.1.1...
4) Enter IP address 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Click OK.
5) Select Wireless tab. Add New.. to add the Network name for your ad-hoc network (I prefer "adhoc"
Found this and set up my WING-FI network.
6) Set the client computer to use the same ad-hoc network. Client will receive an IP address from the device (don't need to manually set the IP).
The client PC connects to WING-FI, but never receives an IP address...
What could I be doing wrong? Is it the hardware ID in the registry? I've created the network with WPA, then after the connection problems, with no security - but still no change.
Thanks!!

Very likely the string TIACXWLN1 needs to be something different. Check HKLM\Software\WZCSV\Parameters\Interfaces\
There should be a key there with the name of your wireless adapter. It should end in "1".
And if not there, it should also be visible under HKLM\Comm\
Let us know how it works out.
EDIT: I just noticed you typed T1ACXWLN1. The string must be TIACXWLN1. That's "i" not one.

I own a PPC6700 as well and I was able to get it working no problem other than the fact that our wireless adapter is not the same as the one mentioned. The reg edit is the same it's just the first network adapter in the list when you create the network settings.

UPDATE
April 5, 2008 - v0.21 released.
ICS Control is a GUI front-end for Internet Connection Sharing, a component of Microsoft Windows Mobile. It can be configured to do a variety of things including sharing your cellular internet connection over an adhoc WiFi network.
Requirements: .NET Compact Framework 2.0 and Windows Mobile 5 or later with the IPNAT driver included (most WM6 builds have this built-in). The "Internet Sharing" application that some phones have is not required, but IPNAT is.
ICSControl is a single .exe file, included in the zip file below. You can place it directly in /Windows/Start Menu/Programs/ on your device and it will appear as an icon in Programs. Or you can place it elsewhere and create a shortcut.
Comments, bug reports, and requests are welcome.
If you like this program and would like to express your appreciation with money, you can donate via Paypal.
Changelog
v0.21
- Added host names from DHCP leases to DMZ and InternalHost dropdown lists.
v0.2
- DHCP Lease editing is completed.
- Virtual Server (aka incoming port mapping) configuration is completed.
- Application definitions (aka outgoing port triggers) configuration is completed.
- Added really simple icons.
- Attempts to accomodate weird ipnat driver configurations.
- Other minor changes/fixes.
v0.11
- Added auto-dialing to Connection Manager destinations
- Added private interface IP setting
- Fixed bugs involving the up/down controls.
- IMPORTANT: If you were using v.1, some of your saved settings may be messed up. To fix this, press the Set All Defaults button at the bottom of the settings panel.
More info on Internet Connection Sharing
ICS allows a private network (for example, an ad-hoc WiFi network) to access another network (for example, the internet) as long as the Windows Mobile device is connected to both networks. It should be able to share between any set of adapters. The common configurations of course would be:
Cellular to WiFi (probably the most common scenario, sharing internet access to a WiFi network)
Cellular to Bluetooth PAN
Cellular to USB
But it should also work with more "interesting" combinations like:
VPN to Wifi - get wireless clients onto a VPN
Wifi to Bluetooth - allow bluetooth network devices to access a WLAN.
Wifi to USB - basically the pda acts as a wireless network card for the PC (neat, eh?)
Will this allow you to select the wifi adapter as well?

Yes. I guess I should point that out as that is probably what people want to do with it. It should be able to share between any set of adapters. The common ones of course would be:
Cellular to Wifi,
Cellular to Bluetooth PAN,
Cellular to USB.
But it should also work with more "interesting" combinations like:
VPN to Wifi - get wireless clients onto a VPN
Wifi to Bluetooth - allow bluetooth network devices to access a WLAN.

Will test this out when I get home tonight...will find out if Sprint noticed it later this month when the bill comes in
Wow! Sounds great. Downloading now.
This looks interesting. I am hoping this might help me get my phone connected to my laptop as a modem. I do not appear to have the ipnat.dll. Any suggestions?? TIA. AARMD

Transplanting ipnat.dll (and the necessary registry settings) from another device is possible but I'm pretty sure it's illegal to distribute it. I know, people do it all the time, and there is no reason for MS to care, but I'd still rather not be the one to do it.
I am using a Verizon 6800 with WM6 Pro and DCD 2.2.5 ROM installed by an acquaintance. I can find an ipnat file, but it is not listed as a .dll. It shows up with the Windows logo. Does this help at all? I am sorry, but I am somewhat new at all this. AARMD

That's it. File Explorer hides the extension.
Cool, this is working on my Alltel 6800. I have a laptop that had its internal wireless hosed, I am now posting using the HTC as a (very expensive) wireless card
Right now I am running through USB, I have to check it out and see if it works with bluetooth.

Hey, most wireless cards can't make phone calls Let me know if it works with bluetooth. Also when bridging like that using the DMZ option could be useful since there is only one USB client so all traffic should route to it. If you hit Refresh after your laptop is connected you should see a host entry in the DMZ dropdown, just choose the laptop's ip and then hit stop ics then start ics.
I couldn't get the WiFi to Bluetooth working, but this laptop has had ongoing bluetooth issues. I'll try it out on my MacBook Pro when I get back from vacation.
Yes, on vacation and still dorking around with the phone. The biggest challenge: finding where my girlfriend hid it after getting upset about where my attention has been focused.
Does using this program burn up you wireless minutes or do I need a special internet plan added to my account?

If you use it to share your internet access then you may be charged for your data usage depending on your service plan. If you don't have an unlimited data plan then you will be charged under most circumstances. On some older phone plans data usage is treated like phone minutes and nights and weekends are free.
I was talking to my sprint rep and they said if the phone is used as a modem then extra charges will be applied even though I have unlimited data. This program works around that?

I do not know how they determine whether you are tethering or not so I can't say for sure. But, seeing as how I've been using this myself quite a bit, I'll find out when I get my next bill from Sprint.

Wow, this is a great looking app, sort of like a free WMWifiRouter except free and much more powerful with tons of neat options. Keep up the great work, this app has real potential.
Have this program stopped working? I down loaded the file and try to open the exe. file but a window pops up saying the program have stopped working. Any ideas of what is going on? I am running windows vista if it helps any.

You need to run it on your PPC...
i set up remote desktop on my pc from my tp and it looked awsome. It works but i have to be connected to my home wifi while connecting. I want to be able to connect anywhere i have data, not just wifi. Is there a way i can get this done? i'm using sprint tp with NFSFAN's WM6.5.5 v1.05 ROM and WXP Pro
it's possible and i'm not sure why your having an issue connecting to it. i have been able to connect from outside my network with no real issues. it was easier when i had dsl with a static ip.
... you posted this question in another thread and received your answer there.
you have a dynamic IP and need to utilize a dynamic DNS service in order to get to your PC all the time - a client application is installed on the PC that monitors the IP address and updates the dns-web application so when you point the touch pro remote desktop client at your unique url setup through a dynamic DNS service, it will always find your PC. simplest answer.
alternatively, call your ISP and change your plan from residential to business - but make sure you can get a static IP address.
x2, if you do have a dynamic ip, you'll need a dns service. i use dyndns.org. free and works great. a little program goes on my server to update the ip address and all i have to do to access my remote desktop is type in the dyndns.org address that i picked and it points me right to my server, via phone and computer.
if you have time warner, i hear they do not do static ips for non business.

As I use Software developed by XDA-members, I decided to give back a little bit... So I developed a piece of software, with which you can send Magic Packets to Computers either over LAN or over Internet.
Furthermore you can execute bat- and vbs-files on a pc running the server-app "batExec" remotely from the internet / lan / wlan. I think bat- and vbs-files are very flexibel, thats why I chose them to be started by the server-app...
I used the fantastic Sense SDK v1.39 of eboelzer, to match the design-technical requirements of our (HD2-)Device
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648906
Naturally I tested the software and on my HTC HD2 it works without any errors...
By the way... this is a .net compact framework v3.5 compatible program. It does not work with lower version of the framework.
You can get the framework here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en

Informations regarding batExec:

The programs installation directory/bat/
In my case: C:\Program Files\BatExec\bat\
Don't forget to open the port you use at Windows Firewall (or at any other fw...)
This is all you have to do. My app reads the bat-files in this directory and sends their names to the client app... then just tap one and it will be executed by the server-app...
Options are self-explanatory, i guess...
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe some general informations about WoL:
To use WoL over lan, you do not need anything else like WoL configured on your nic / BIOS and a connection to your (home-)network with your device (over W-Lan...)
If you want to use WoL over the Internet you have to do some more things:
Configure WoL on your Network Card
You have to activate WOL on your network-card! If your network-card is a newer one, you can probably set up this option at Device-Manager --> right click on your network-card --> Advanced --> Somewhere at the options there (look for WoL, Magic Packets, Remote start, ...)
At older PC's I often saw this option in system BIOS...
Sometimes I had to do both of these things to get WoL working as well...
Configure Port-Forwarding on your Router (Directed Broadcast)
You have to forward a port on your router (e.g. port 7) to your local-network-broadcast-address... (If the IP of the "WoL" - Computer is 192.168.1.10 then the broadcast-address is most likely 192.168.1.255)
Set up WoL everywhere with public ip and forwarded board
Fill in the field IP into my program with the public (outside)- ip of your router (or the DynDNS-Domain-Name) and the forwarded port into port.
Start your PC's
If you set up everything correctly, you should be able to start your PC's from wherever you want, and whenever you want...
Here a guide on HOW TO set your PC/laptop up in order to be turned on with your phone WITHIN your home LAN/WIFI. (Thanks tomthemd =)
Pls. report found bugs, as I'll try to fix them...
If you find any spelling / grammar mistakes in my description-thread or in my program, pls. let me know too... (I'm not an english pro) !!!
So I hope you enjoy this program!
Hi LichtiMC,
looks very good with the sdk. I will give it a try on the weeked, after Sun

Did it work properly???
this will come in handy.. thanks
It works great on HD2! Even power on (not just from sleeping but shut down) is working over 3G. Thanks!
Looks very cool
Unfortunately I'm not enough of a geek I guess. When I set up port forwarding, I have to provide a protocol to use. Any clue what that should be?
You have to use UDP as protocol...
Damn linksys routers wont let you forward .255....
Lan works perfectly!
you cant use this if your pc is wifi only though can, main pc downstairs connected to the router mine is wifi upstairs, just been reading WOL cant be done over wireless??

No it cant, as your wireless card/device needs to be powered to have a connection to your network.
Even when your PC is off and is hard wired you have link lights showing the connection.
Wireless needs to be powered to work.
cheers MalekoUK thought i had read right well in a fashion you can do it but you need, "the network card must support it and may need a special jumper cable to connect to the motherboard's Wake-on-LAN connector (a three-pin connector on motherboards using an ATX power supply"

OK, I've tested it on following hardware:
1.Router Linksys (WRT54GCv3, Firmware Version: 1.00.14)
- port forwarding:
port number: 7, UDP to broadcast address xxx.xxx.xxx.255 (with a little helpful trick described in above post - it works on that router)
2.Lenovo T61p at docking station (lan connected to it)
3. HTC HD2 (ROM 1.48.479.1)
The PC awoke up from local network and Internet (3G) as well
The only problem with apps was to fill up the WAN IP when the field was hidden by manila pop up keyboard

Finally someone made a finger-friendly WOL.
Thanks LichtiMC really enjoyed it!
Unfortunately I never got to use WOL over the internet with my router, I tried several times and always end giving up.
I will explain here my attempts to see if someone with the same hardware can help me. I have a linksys WRT54G v6.0 with firmware DD-WRT v24 SP2 micro.
I've tried to port (7) forwarding to host ip (192.168.1.79) or to broadcast (192.168.1.255), both do not work. Also tried to add a startup script on the router but did not work too.
I made a picture of my attempts, if anyone can help me I'd be grateful.

My problem is only with internet, under my home network works smoothly. I also can wol under my web interface of my firmware and if I click on "Wake Up" under WOL Addresses I can wake my laptop without error.
I think my problem is in the port forwarding, though it does appear as if they were forwarding (as pictured) I think is not!
Is there any way to check if the ports are open or not? Most software that I know for this function only works when the port are active. None of them recognized port 7 as open.
Thanks for any help!
Thank you so very much for taking the time to share this with us.
I have been wanting something like this ever since March 15th.
hello there... i hope @LichtiMC won't mind to place his thread as an app request in android forums!!
if you can compile it for android that would be excellent, or you can share the code with the developers willing to start this project!
thanx in advance!
great job, finealy somebudy tought about this
but i think you need to post a good "how to" configure your router or get your ip from the system.
still wounderful job

Hi LichtiMC!
Great piece of software! Working flawless on my TP2. Found 1 minor bug: I certainly tried it out localy at first, when taping "WoL over Internet" after that again the "Network/Local" bar comes up but the "IP/Host" and "Port" fields are missing. After a little swipe up and down the display they appear. Not realy a bug, more a graphical issue.
Thank you for sharing!
Edit: Is there a workaround for Fritz!Box 7170 to get the Broadcast-IP into the field? It tells me 192.XXX.XXX.255 is not allowed. I'll try with the computers IP for now, first I've got to setup a dyndns ;-)
