Remote Desktop Connection Still not working.... need help

[bajungadustin]

Ok. i am finally giving up... tomorrow i am going to call HP Support and get them to tell me how to do this... they have connected to my computer remotly before when i had other problems so maybe they can help me figure it out. and if not then microsoft has left that part of the OS out of my copy of windows vista or something. i have allready checked with my ISP i have contacted my router support and nothing has worked.

If HP cant help me then i am just going to pour gas on my computer and my TP2 and burn them... maybe i can get my nokia 3560 up and running on verizon LOL. something

Im tired of pulling my hair out over this.. i actually felt like throwing my tower out the window earlier and it cost about 2 grand. this just plain sucks. and it boils down to bad programming. setting up one simple program shouldnt be this darn hard. it should be one click. [x] allow this computer to be controlled remotly: you will need this info to connect... yada yada...

but its not microsoft has to be all technical about it.

thanks to everyone that helped out, and if you have any other tips i could try please feel free to jot them down as i will probably not have any luck with tech support either... its just not been my week so far.

HP wanted to remote connect to my computer and set it up for me but they said it would cost me $60.00... wtf...

OMG... i just found out that if you have Vista Home (premium or basic) you cannot use remote desktop connection from your TP2 to connect to your computer... unless you hack the batch file. In process of hacking it will return results.

8 days of freaking looking this up and trying to fix it only to just find this out.,.. this should have been one of the FIRST things that i came across. microsofs website didnt even mention it in the trouble shooting guide.

got it working somewhat... i remote connected to my computer from my lan..., now just to get my phone connecting im also getting a new error that i have not got before... it says connection ended on the network please try again

Have you looked into logmein. That's a nice way around for you. Let me know if you need help setting that up. I'll be glad to help.

This is just basic networking. Its not really in the correct forums.
You will need to make sure that you can connect with another computer first prior to trying to connect with your TP2.

What you need to do is start all over on your router and your computer TCP/IP.

Login to router and reset to default.(192.168.1.1- leave blank/admin)

Computer reset your TCPIP properties to default(use DHCP) and save.
Now we will set your computer to a static IP(outside the DHCP range)-knowing you have a linksys do the following.
IP: 192.168.1.200
subnet: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1(router address)
DNS: 192.168.1.1(router address)
Save these settings. Lets double check this is correct.
Open a command prompt. tpye: IPCONFIG /all
When you press enter the above IP TCPIP info should match.

Now we need to enable terminal server on your computer.

S**t! I just wrote this whole thing and realized your computer OS doesn't support Termanal Server.

XP Home and Vista Home versions do not have the feature to host a remote desktop connection!! You will need XP Pro, Vista Business or Ultimate.
EDIT: I skimmed the thread, but missed what you wrote above-woops. I can finish the directions for you if you get a different OS-let me know.

So, no matter what you do you will be out of luck. Try Logmein Free.
You can also install Windows7 RC1 for free to try it out.

Yeah i downloaded a "hack" as it were that gives vista home (premum or basic) the terminal service.

i can connect from my laptop remotely now and everything is getting through my router ok.

so if i can connect to my PC from my laptop then my static IP should be set up fine. (its not the same as what it was in the picture on the first page of this thread anymore.) now my DNS 1 and DNS 2 are still the same in my TCP/IP settings.. starting with 78 or whatever... its not listed as 192.168.1.1 but i AM able to connect remotly... just not with my TP2

and i thoughs that windows RC1 was closed back in july for beta. i tried like 2 months ago and it said that they were no longer offering the beta out and that i had missed my chance.

P.S. i hate Log me in... log me in doesnt work with Opera and its a pain in the A$$ to log into it using IE on my phone.... i really want to get this RDP working so its simply 2 buttons away at all times.. not have to go through the hassles of logging in to a service that i dont care for..

this has become more of a mission for me then anything. by all rights it should work and its not... and that bugs the everloving crap out of me.

i read something about the program from HTC that siad in the Domain name you need to put the name of the Terminal Service Domain..

To configure Remote Desktop Mobile, go to: Start>All Programs>Tools>Remote Desktop Mobile. Enter in your Computer name, User Name, Password, and Domain for the Windows Terminal Server that you are trying to access and tap Connect.

how do i find this name

WOW. Is there anything wrong with the remote desktop on the TP2?

I now have Sprint Treo Pro and I have no trouble remote into my Windows 7, XP or Vista.
