New Remote Desktop client from WM6.1???
 

I've been running the RDP client app from WM6.0 on my Mogul since I got it but now that 6.1 is out. I was wondering if there was a newer version of the MS RDP client that was released with 6.1 that I can download and start using with my new 6.1 ROM's :D

Anyone seen a newer 6.1 version of RDP out there?

Thanks!!!!

I believe the DCD 2.2.0 ROM has one in it by default, from what I've seen it looks to be default on all 6.1 ROMs. Let us know if you find one that doesn't have it.

I thought No2Chem's 6.1 ROM didn't have it. Crap, I forgot to check before I installed my RDP 6.0 cab, lol. Argh! I figured everyone removed it like they used too in all the other custom ROM's from back in the day....

I'll check No2Chem's next time I hard boot or reinstall.

Thanks!

Alright, I can confirm that No2Chems 6.1 ROM 5041 does NOT have remote desktop.

Anyone have the WM6.1 RDP .cab file?

I can confirm that the RDP 6 client oem and cab that I have has a wpctsc.exe that is 79.2 Kb and the one from DCD's rom is only 77 Kb. There is not an about box, so I cannot tell which version is newer, but they are different.

Thanks! I'll be waiting to try the new one out!!!

I've been wanting to play around with this, but can't get it to connect. Anyone know where I can find a good tutorial on how to set up a remote connection between my PC and my 6800?
Thanks

Well, just to start, what version of Windows are you using (XP Home, Pro, Vista Home Premium, Business, Ultimate?), and do you have a static IP address or a dynamic IP address, and are you connecting through a router?

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

i downloaded this copy of the remote desktop client from someone on here a while back and it was labeled 6.1. im not sure if it actually is, as ive never used it versus 6.0

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

how you do that, the RDC with WM6 ? do i need a .cab or is it on the ROM and i need to install it? thnx

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

How do I setup RDC on a XP Home machine? I am connecting through a router with a static IP I believe.

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

Vista Home Premium. Static (I think) behind a router

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

did you go into the routers setup menu and set it up to be static? if not than your running a dynamic IP address meaning it can change from a pool of 1-100 or w.e. your limit is set to. dynamic ip address works, but if your ip adress changes and you have RD set up, you wont get a connection to that pc.

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

I had set it static at one time, but no longer. I say static now because I've run ipconfig several times over the last few days and it's always been the same 192.168.x.x

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

Most routers keep a list of mac addressed connected in the past to ensure the same pc will get the same ip but after a certain period of inactivity, the mac is purged from the router and the IP is reassigned to the next device to connect to it.

If its critical you have access to your server, static is the way to go. Saves you the headache of having to reopen all your ports for RDC, BT, Games, Etc.

I have a static internal ip set and I use no-ip for the external dns as my provider changes my external ip every few days-weeks.

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

XP Home and Vista Home Premium have no support for RDP. Only XP Professional, and Vista Business/Ultimate support it (not counting server OSes). So those of you on the Home OSes are out of luck anyway, unfortunately.

If you happen to upgrade, though, then I recommend NO-IP as noted by Darkflame. They even have a pretty good tutorial on their site on how to get it working.

As for the router and your internal IP, just because it's remained the same for a while doesn't mean it's static. You'll need to go into your network settings and assign a specific IP address, otherwise when you restart your computer you may get a completely different address. You'll also need to have your router forward port 3389 to that IP address.

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

I believe there is a hack you can do to Vista Home Premium to unlock the capability....

It actally has the code----MS shut it off for some reason.....go figure....

I also believe there is a youTube movie on how to set it up on WM 6.0---seemed fairly straight forward----can'tbe that different for 6.1

Either set your PC with a Static IP----or have your router "Reserve" a specific IP

Then you have to set Port forwarding up in the router to forward port 3389 to that static IP.

When you try to find the computer----you have to use the IP that your router reports to the outside world----not the static IP----RDP traffic which comes in on Port 3389----will get auto forwarded to the correct PC.

When I have a chance----I want to get this working on my Mogul as well so I'll try to contribute if I get er done.....

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

I was just getting ready to ask about a program like this. Its crazy that Apple has all types of remote apps like Mobile Me and etc... that allow RDC . It should be pretty straight forward for MS. That should have been one of the main updates in WM6.1. Its just sad.

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

What are you talking about? There's lots of 3rd party apps (VNC, RDM+, etc.) that do this for the people that don't know how to use the built in RDM with WM6.

People just don't know what they're doing trying to set it up. WM6.1 isn't lacking the feature, people lack the knowledge.

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

Your are right about not having the knowledge.

where can I find these programs. How do you use the features in WM6.1?

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

the best RDP app i think is Z2 Remote Desktop. easy to setup and is a full screen, with full colors. heres a link

enjoy

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

i hate to bear bad news but you can't RDP into Home Premium, only Buisness and Ultimate. =(

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

many routers let you statically assign an IP via DHCP to a given MAC addy. if a given NIC is connected to the router, it will get a lease with the IP you specify everytime. nice for centralizing management.

i've a dlink and a netgear that do this, and never run into problems with IP-MAC relationships being lost,

Has anyone gotten Remote Web Workplace to work on Mogul?

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

Ok, i have been researching through TONS of forums and using trial and error from all of the information. i am in need of help. i have a Sprint HTC Mogul (6800), i have the Remote Desktop software installed... to my device, not the storage card. i have a Netgear router, with the Port 3389 forwarded (i think i did it correctly). i input my PC's IP address (according to whatismyip.com), i am using my correct Login info for Windows XP user account. no Domain. i start my 36 connection First before attempting to connect to Remote Desktop. Gives me error messages every time. "ip address may not exist" ... "possible network connection problems". i am at a total loss. about to completely give up. this is my last ditch effort. someone... please.... help. and i work a lot, so if someone, ANYONE could respond to my cry for aid thru e-mail, i would be forever grateful!
