Re: New Remote Desktop client from WM6.1???

Got er done....

Works fine but unlike the Diamond----it wont put a full version of the screen of the PC on the Mogul----you have to drag around a little box.....

The "Full Screen" option gives you a LITTLE more screen---but you still have the box....

I just set my router's IP in the first box that's called "Computer Name" and connected-----leave all the other boxes in the WM6.1 RDP Client completely empty-------you will then actully tap the PC and get to the login screen on your remote PC-------then type in your PC password on the pc itself using the keypad or the stylus----once done----told me I was now logged in as WINDOWSMOBILE76

I could not get it to auto connect with the information all typed in the available boxes in the PPC RDP client. I had to connect first to the PC----then type a password on the PC using my Mogul's keyboard.

Again----all I set was the Router's IP address to the outside world which you get off the Router's configuration pages----then hit "Connect"

And it worked just fine.....

I was not using wifi and the speed using a poor EVDO Rev A data connection (1 bar) from my garage was not bad at all.....

You could make this work----in a pinch----not as elegant as the 640 x 480 RDP with the Diamond.....but acceptable. You could tap your home machine----and make it do things from ANYWHERE.

Remember----you have to Port Forward on your router to the machine you want to remote control (Port 3389) and you need to set a static or reserved IP address for that PC
