PPC viewing PC desktop?

**Trident** · #1 (**permalink**) 05-26-2007, 10:51 PM

I'm trying to use either RDP or LogMeIn without success. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I can't find decent instructions for either and/or the instructions aren't working correctly.
What I've done so far:
Downloaded the PC side of LogMeIn after creating an account.
Tried to download the Remote Control Client for the PPC without success.
Downloaded some sort of update from MS [Remote Desktop Connection (Terminal Services Client 6.0) for Windows XP (KB925876)].

I have no idea how to access my PC from the PDA using either of these methods. I'm using Colonel's 3.5 Kitchen ROM. I'm guessing that I have to set something up on the PC, but I don't know where on the PC or what the correct settings should be. I found TSC on my 6700, but I have no idea what those settings should be- I suppose if I could find the settings on the PC, I would know what to put in the PPC, but that's kind of a Catch-22.

A nice set of instructions (for RDP/TSC- are they the same thing?) would be great. Barring that, a link to some instructions or a link to the LogMeIn client that I could download on the PC and transfer over via A/S would be appreciated.

Making some progress.
I got the LogMeIn app/CAB.
Now, don't laugh, how the heck do I get my Windows UserName and password? I'm the only one that uses this computer and don't remember ever using a password. Is the username my network ID? My login name? The computer name on the network?

Amazing. I got LogMeIn to work.
If anyone is interested or needs the info about how it worked for me, just let me know and I'll post as best I can.
Good night!

Does LogMeIn have a PPC-specific .cab somewhere? Could you post it, or direct me to it? I would like to have the option of using LogMeIn from my phone... tho i wonder how the screen resolution being as small as it is on the PPC would affect usability.

The resolution isn't too bad- you have to scroll around the screen as only about 1/12 of it is visible at any one time.
No idea where I found the file, but here is what needs to be installed on your PPC. [change zip to cab]
I couldn't get it to install correctly using the ppc and directly linking to the logmein site. I think what I did was go to the site using my pc and entering the address from PIE manually.

Is this free?

Yes, LogMeIn is free.
There is an advanced version that costs $, but even that is reasonable if you need it.

Anyone try this on the Titan?

I tried Logmein and I never had my pc run so slow. Auto configured my Zone Alarm professional firewall for fulltime access which is a first for me, and unappreciated. I could not connect through the site after several tries. Neither my Eset nod32, or Spysweeper, or ZA alerted me with malicious activities. I had to delete the root folder to get rid of it.

just not a fine experience at all for me.
