Hi all,
I know we can connect to the internet using desktop connectivity with ActiveSync.
Now, I want to develop some simple WAP application and place it in my http://localhost (desktop IIS) for testing purpose. How can I browse it this site from my xda?
Anyone can help? TIA.
try http://<ip-number of Desktop PC>
It doesn't work at all. Beside, I use dial-up connection in my desktop, so the desktop doesn't have any ip before connecting to the internet, and I want to develop the application offline.
I tried to assign permanent ip address to my desktop in without connecting and it still doesn't work.
internal network
I doubt you have networked computers but here goes...
If you have a network card in your PC for networking. Then you have an IP address with this. normally "192.168.???.???" so you could use that.
Hope this may be of help ..
or http://127.0.0.1
You will need to be connected to the internet on your PC before you try to browse, or you will need to configure internet connection sharing while your xda is cradled for it to work.
Though I can't test this (no webserver running), it's gotta work:
Put your XDA in the cradle, and the go in VXutil and go to info. There, under the adapter called "Serial on USB," you should see some IP config info. The "Default Gateway" should be the IP of your machine (as your XDA sees it).
Just for kicks, mine turns out to be 192.168.55.100
I've tries http://127.0.0.1 but since my desktop computer is not network and I don't have any ethernet card installed, I cannot assign IP address to this machine?
What is Vxutil anyway?
Thanks.

I have created an SOCKS proxy server application to run on Windows Mobile phones. A SOCKS proxy is a proxy server that is capable of forwarding nearly all types of network traffic, similar to a NAT router. It is very simple to use. Simply type in the port you would like the proxy server to listen on (defaults is 1080), then click the large "Start Proxy" button.
In order to run this application you will need the .NET Compact Framework 3.5 installed on your device.
Some applications are SOCKS-ready and others are not. You can use FreeCap (freeware) to SOCKS enable any Windows application. ** FreeCap seems to have problems connecting to SocksProxy. Let me know if it works or doesn't work for you. **
I am *NOT* responsible for any fees charged to anyone for the use of this software. There is no warranty and no guarantee.
[UPDATE 2/25/2009]
I've completed the new version of SocksProxy. It implements socks version 4a. There is no security, so it will allow anyone to connect with any user id.
Please let me know of any issues you find.
[UPDATE 2/24/2009]
SocksProxy v1.0 Reboot
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've completed the new proxy server. It looks pretty much like the old one, but I've anchored the controls to the edges so it should scale properly with VGA devices.
I've written a new Socks 4a proxy from scratch and completed ditched all the old code. It seems to be working pretty well, though a bit slow. I think I need to increase the size of my read buffers. I will have to write a smarter heuristic for determining the size of the buffer per connection though. I have them at 128 Kb now. I need to grow each buffer dynamically according to how it's being used, that way I don't create large buffers for connections that are only transfering small amounts before closing (downloading a small gif or javascript file, for example).
I'll probably release it tomorrow after some more testing.
BTW: I'm posting this through the proxy right now!
[UPDATE 2/24/2009]
I've decided not to move forward with the J2ME version of SocksProxy. I will however be writing a new .NET CF version. The current version's proxy is based on code I ported from a proxy targeted to the standard .NET framework. Some features in the standard framework are absent in the compact framework. When porting the proxy I pretty much just did it as quick and dirty as I could because I really wanted something that just got the job done. I didn't care how stable or 'good' it was because I hadn't even intended on releasing it to anyone. Since it looks like there's still a lot of interest I will be writing a new one from scratch. Don't expect too much; It'll be the simplest thing that possibly works, but it'll be stable and reliable.
I'll be naming this version SocksProxy 1.0 Reboot. I'm not upping the version number because I'm really not going to be adding any new features.
[UPDATE 11/4/2008]
I am working on a J2ME version of this application. I will no longer be maintaining the .NET version of the application. The SVN repository for the .NET version will continue to be available. I have no plans on taking it down.
I have decided to switch to J2ME because I will be able to reuse source code in a future Android release -- that is, if Google or someone adds the ability for Android to have more than one IP address.
[UPDATE 10/27/2008]
There is a usage issue with the application with certain configurations of Windows Mobile and Activesync. It seems that when the Activesync host (your PC) has a connection to the internet the handheld device will prefer to connect to the internet via the PC's connection rather than its cellular connection. This completely eliminates any benefit to using the proxy. Does anyone know how to prevent the handheld from routing its internet traffic back through Activesync? Note that this is NOT solved by setting the "Allow data connections" setting in Activesync.
[UPDATE 10/27/2008]
I have updated the SVN respository (https://pchasco.homedns.org/svn/SocksProxy/trunk). Here are the changes:
* Changed "Listening on" box to list all IPs on the handheld
* Added an IP box. Enter an IP to listen on that IP or leave blank to listen on all.
* Rearranged form
* Added "Use selected IP" button to insert into the IP box the IP selected in the list of available IP addresses.
You can enter any IP address in the IP box, but the proxy will fail to start if the IP is not valid for your device.
Hi pchasco,
Could you explain a bit more what this does (and how it works)?
The reason I ask is that I'm looking for an application for the PPC which allows me to share its internet connection by pointing the Desktop browser' proxy to the PPC.
This allows me to be connected to the wired network and using this proxied browser to browse even the blocked sites ...
Can your application be used for this?
If so could you also explain how it works..
I've ran the App on my PPC, and clicked start, this gave me an IP address
next i hooked it up to USB and pointed IE's proxy to that address...didn't work
I also tried to activate the 3G first and/or with ICS activated
but both times I didn't see a IP address...
I'm probably doing something wrong..
Thanks
This is a SOCKS proxy, so it does not work in quite the same way that a normal HTTP proxy does. For internet explorer you'll have to open the advanced proxy options and fill in the information for the SOCKS hostort entry.
Can someone please explain a sample usage of this software on Windows Mobile?

Have you used this with ICS? In other words, share your internet connection with a computer and then have the computer connect via your sock proxy to the internet?

I am not sure why you would need to use both SOCKS proxy and ICS at the same time. They are both means to provide internet connectivity through your phone to another device. If ICS were an option on my phone, I would use it over SOCKS unless the client device did not support it.

Basically, I'm trying to allow access to two networks at the same time. So I want to adjust my settings in firefox to point to my WM phone and your socks proxy. Then my other applications and IE can use my LAN. Otherwise, to get my WM ICS to work I have to disable my LAN connection which I need for certain apps.
edit... I'm good with using it without ICS, but that doesn't seem to work either. No matter when I click start proxy, I get an IP of 0.0.0.0 and if I connect my computer via USB I can't ping that address.

Then setting the SOCKS proxy setting without setting any other proxy settings should work in Internet Explorer. I've been trying to test it, but my phone refuses to access the internet through the cellular connection right now; it's always going through my PC while activesync is connected. I can't get it to stop! The funny thing is IE on my PC is making its HTTP requests through my phone, then my phone is going right back through my PC to the internet!

That's what I tried... but the IP address I get is 0.0.0.0 from your app. What IP do you usually get back when you run it? Do you just connect via USB? If ActiveSync is running is that an issue?

I think there is a setting in ActiveSync that says "allow wireless connections when connected" sounds like that might be your problem.

Sounds like the same thing that is happening to me. I finally got it to give me an IP address, but only if my data connection is inactive. As soon as the data connection is active it becomes a 0.0.0.0 IP address. Bug?
I tried to establish the IP, then activate the data connection... still doesn't work when I enter the IPort into my proxy list for firefox.

I am not sure why you are receiving 0 as your IP address. Check in Settings->Connections->USB to PC that "Enable advanced network functionality" is selected.
Gave it another try
Connected to ActiveSync (AS) loaded the application
removed the AS connection, started the application
It showed me the IP address op 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
Stopped the App, initiated the gprs and started the App again.
now i'm getting an IP of 0.0.0.0, I restarted the App a couple of times but no dice
I also checked if the advanced network functionality was enabled and it was..

Hmm... I'm not sure what's going on here. 127.0.0.1 is the loopback interface-- It is only valid for your phone to connect to itself. If your computer attempted to connect to 127.0.0.1 it would connect to itself, not your phone.

Well, if I have time in the next few days I will take a look and see whether there is anything I can do. Maybe there is another IP address available on your device but for whatever reason I'm displaying the loopback instead of the external interface.
What happens when you set your proxy client up to go to 169.254.2.1:1080?

If you can't use ICS and want to connect to the internet from your desktop, you can connect your phone using USB and start this proxy, then you can setup your desktop connection to use the proxy to get internet access.
Hi guys,
I've just downloaded the 2X Cliente Remote Desktop for Android but I'm having a hard time making it work.
I've chosen Terminal Server Connection
Alias - some random alias I came up with to test
Server - the IP address of the computer I want to be able to remotely connect to
Port - 3389 (I've added this to my port forwarding list on my router)
Username - some random username I came up with to test
In connection mode it's greyed out and it says "Gateway mode"
When I try to connect it says:
Code [1a/00000001]
The specified remote connection could not be found.
Verify that you have typed the correct computer name or IP address, and then try to connect again.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
.....Nobody?
I haven't tried that app i think. But i have tried like 6 apps for remote desktop or VNC, but none were to my liking. They all had lag, and were 6 frames each second max. I want to be able to game and watch movies threw remote desktop. So if you ever find a good remote desktop application, please let me know!
Concerning your problem, for most of the apps i've used i needed to install a windows program that enabled a VNC server for remote desktop. Did you install that? And ofcourse, your firewall isn't blocking anything? And the username you specified, make sure it's an existing windows username with the same password and administration rights.
Hope it helps....
Hello,
i am searching for an remote desktop server for android ICS
I read on some old threads that for old android OS there was some app like webkey, that allow to control the android phone / tablet remotely via 3g
Does anyone know if there are some other app for ICS?
(i wonder if ICS has some remote desktop server built in in the OS, like windows, but i suppose it hasn't)
Thanks!
Bye

but i dont search an app to control the pc via tablet.
Instead, i would like to control the tablet (that i leave at home) with the pc that i have in the office where i work.
So i need an app to be installed in the tablet, that acts like the windows remote desktop server ...
Is this what you are looking for?
To control your PC from phone/tablet, use TeamViewer. Of course, you need to have TeamViewer installed in the other device as well. Dunno if the reverse (controlling phone/tablet from PC) is possible. Never tried.

Yes, i was looking for something like the VNC server link you suggested me.
But perhaps it does not allow remote connection (over internet)...

Hello,
finally i was able to remote access my android tablet (acer a500) by another android tablet (dell streak):
i rooted the tablet and installed a VNC server on the tablet a500;
i configured my wireless home router to enable forwarding port 5901 to the (static) ip address of the tablet a500.
Then i installed a VNC client on the other tablet (dell streak).
Now i can with the dell streak and 3g connection, remote access the a500 that i leave at home.
The 'remote desktop' works well, its nice to see the screen of the a500 as screen of the dell streak...
and when i touch the screen of the dell streak , i 'touch' in same time the screen of the a500...
the only thing i dont like is that the connection is very slow...sometimes i have to wait many seconds to see the answer of the a500 on the dell streak...
Bye!

thank you for info
Strange that there is so few such solutions. I'd imagine people would create apps for this just like there is plenty of those WiFi File Managers where you start server on the phone/tablet and move files using web browser on PC.
Maybe LogMeIn will finally develop something proper for remote controling Phones/Tablets, there is a need for this, I for example need to support a person in another country and I need to be able to at least see the screen remotely, not necessairly control it remotely.
access a server on a 3g wireless phone directly is almost impossible, this is not for technical reasons, instead the wireless operators blocks all server ports on mobile devices.
One way is to do NAT punch through, or use proxy, none of these is easy, so I don't really see servers that can accessed from internet.
Update: I have installed dynamic dns server and vnc server and that did the trick.
I assume this is still with WIFI, did you manage to connect to a server in 3g network, i.e., using ip address provided by wireless providers, instead of a wifi ip address.

How do you get it working? Mind sharing instruction/steps and any software/apps you got it to work? I tried OpenVPN running on Win7 but the FIOS Mobile didn't work over WIFI outside my home. I also tried native PPTP VPN setup from Win7 and that didn't work as well. I have Note2 running CleanROM ATT SE 3.0. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, you need a PC running all the time as a VPN server. PPTP is the most easiest to get it working but it's blocked by companies all the time so you will never able to connect from your office to home. I use OpenVPN where it supports encryption and you can configure the port you like to use but not just PPTP. Using 443 or any other secured ports are preferred.
Here is a good guide I found to setup OpenVPN.

Correct, the idea is to VPN from your phone back to your home PC to make your phone or the FIOS Mobile app think you are still at home. That's why you need VPN.
You need:
1. Port forwarding from your router to your PC running OpenVPN as VPN server.
2. OpenVPN app installed on your phone.
3. FIOS Mobile app
4. VPN from your phone back to your home, redirect all traffic back to home and obtain an IP from your home.
5. Run FIOS Mobile app. If VPN is working properly, you will see all available live channels, if not, you will only see a few one and there is a warning message telling you that you can view more channels at home.
That's it and enjoy your TV anywhere.
PPTP is much easier because by default it routes all traffic back to your home and the FIOS Mobile app should work fine.

Check Windows Firewall service if it's running as well. Also a quick note to that PPTP uses IP protocol 47 (GRE) as well. Just opening port 1723 will not be enough. GRE is not tcp/udp but it's an IP protocol. Just FYI.
Windows Vista supports PPTP server as well.

Hmm I figured maybe since my version of vista doesnt support remote desktop that maybr it aldo doesnt support VPN. I have a Verizon Fios router and cant find any options about GRE, ill have to investigate further.

I have Verizon FIOS router as well and it's a pretty old one.
It should be at Firewall Settings --> Port Forwarding --> Find or type the IP of your PC and select "Application to forward" --> pick PPTP
Save, and you should see a rule something like this.
PPTP
TCP Any -> 1723
GRE
Thanks! I am finally able to connect to the VPN! The only problem now is that even though I'm connect to it I can not access the internet at all from my phone when its connect to the VPN server. It shows on windows that I'm connect to it but if I right click it and view status it shows IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity: Not Connected. It only shows Media State: Connected. Any ideas?

PPTP is very unstable especially using Windows. I prefer using OpenVPN as service. It works for me all the time.
Any takers? :good:
Doing the VPN setup as well
I plan on using a DD-WRT router (Running OpenVPN) to connect with no PC required & one at my office so i can use the Samsung Smart TV FIOS app at work on the 50".
I will keep yall posted!

P.S. Can someone just hack the app & add a field in the app to add your home ip address/ mock the fake address to the app?
Yes, it should be pretty simple to hack the app. Surprised no one has done it. I'll offer a $10 bounty. :cyclops:
