Is there some tutorial/help on using hte Remote Desktop Mobile to connect to a PC? I haven't been able to connect TP 2 to my PC running Vista. I put in the Computer name, User name, password, and domain and when I clicked "Connect", it returned an error:
Cannot connect. Likely reasons are:
1. specified computer name or ip does not exist.
2. A network error occured while establishing connection.
I tried both domain name and ip. Made no difference.
I also tried both on 3G as well as WiFi but it made no difference.
You'll need to set up two things:
set the vista machine to accept the remote connections
http://howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/turn-on-remote-desktop-in-windows-vista/
forward port 3389 on your router if you have one
http://portforward.com/
Then you should be up and running!

Thanks, mad-tunes. Got it working now, at least when connected by WiFi. And when the phone and the PC are on the same Wifi network, I can connect simply by putting in the computer ip address. No domain is required and no port configuring required too.

Good stuff, glad it helped a bit....
If you can't connect from the outside world (ie, using GPRS), then it's most probably a port forward thing...
If you want to get this bit working: How's the machine you're trying to RDP to connected to the 'net exactly?
(ADSL modem, router etc?)

Yes, the PC is behind the router. So probably woould need to do port forward as you have suggested. Having tested it yet. Would try this out later this week.
I was wondering, is theres a way to do this if youre on a home edition of windows?
the home edition I dont believe has remote desktop.
Remote desktop mobile using 3G connection
Has anyone gotten remote desktop mobile to work using only a 3G connection? I've got it working perfectly using wifi but can't for the life of me figure out how to do it over 3G. I searched and the closest thing I could find to being helpful was the following:
I had the same problem till I created two VPN connections. One for internal use (WiFi) and one for extenal use (3G).
The internal one uses the internal IP address of the VPN server and the external one uses the external IP address.
You have to sleect which connection you want to use before starting the connection depending on whether u r using WiFi or 3G.
Hope that makes sense. It works 4 me.

This makes sense but it's confusing about what to change in the VPN connection settings. Can anyone explain in more detail?
Thank you very much

No. You can only use third party solutions like VNC. RDP host is not included in Home Edition.
You have to go into your router and set up a port forward so that 3389 goes to internal IP address of the system you want to remote into. If you have port forwarding/triggering, you can have a different port (eg, 3390) trigger to 3389 internally. If you don't have port forwarding, you can change the listening port from the default 3389 to, eg, 3390 and then you can create a port forward to remote in that way. To access, add :3390 to the end of the remote address (eg, 64.246.222.91:3390). The registry path to the listening port is:
HLKM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
You must reboot after changing the setting.
If you have a domain, it is incredibly useful to set up DNS for this, then you can simply enter the DNS name in the client. This works internally as well.
Update: So i just went to a Starbucks and tried using the wifi there to connect to my remote desktop and it couldn't connect!? But it can connect when I'm using the same wifi router as my remote computer does this mean I don't have the router properly port forwarded? Or is it some other issue? Any advice would be great.
Thanks
When you use your wifi at home, it ends up in the same IP subnet as the remote computer, so all you need to do is to enter the computer name.
When you're at a hotspot, you need to enter the public IP address for your router and step up port forwarding. Wifi outside of your home is no different from using EVDO as far as IP addressing is concerned. You must enter via public IP.
If you don't know what your public IP address is, open a browser from any computer at home and go to this URL:
http://whatismyip.com
It will tell you what the public IP is.

I got Remote Desktop to work on 3G.
First open Opera (or what ever your default browser is) set a home page to something that takes at least 5-10 second to load (if longer, even better), like an email account or m.myspace.com. Simple sites like m.google.com won't work because they load to quickly.
Close OPERA: I mean make sure its closed not just minimized.
This next part needs to be done rather quickly, so I advise making Remote Desktop a top icon in your Start Menu.
So Launch opera, and quickly launch Remote Desktop and hit connect.
Remote Desktop will piggy back off the Opera browser connection to get out to your computer.
Note: (make sure remote desktop works at home first, either by wifi, blue tooth, or direct usb, and by checking it from a computer outside of your network) once you know it works you should be able to connect to it.
Also note: as some one stated above, make sure that proper ports have been open on the computer and router than you should be good to go.
I'm sure their is a registry fix to get the remote desktop working without doing this, but this is the only way I've been able to do it for now..
Hope this helps...

I'm currently using AT&T Tilt 2 Stock Rom and Radio.
Check this out guys, it might be of some help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533664
Thanks a lot guys! It's working just fine now (on both wifi and 3G!) turns out I didn't have the router properly port forwarded.
just started trying to figure this out today. spent about 15 minutes but couldnt get it going.
just installed windows7 on my old pc and im trying to get my htc tp2 (rhodium) to work with the preinstalled Remote Desktop Mobile application. i forwarded port 3389 on both tcp and udp since i didnt know which was necessary.
is a static ip necessary to get this setup by going into the ipv4 settings? also, what is the application looking for with the input for "domain"? - subnet mask? default gateway for my home network?
so far i have tried the following inputs in my tp2 for Remote Desktop Moble:
Computer: public ip
User Name: windows7 login name
password: windows 7 login password
domain: ???
any help is appreciated. going to try this more when i get home from work.

network-wise what you need to do depends on how your PC's connected to the 'net...
if it's connected directly via something like a USB ADSL model or Virgin media cable box, then you'll only need to let 3389 through your PCs firewall.
If it's connected via anything like a router, then you'll also have to allow 3389 through your routers firewall, as well as forwarding port 3389 to your machine inside your network.
it's the port forwarding which needs the internal IP of your PC, so a static one's a good idea (otherwise, if your PCs internal IP address changes it'll stop working). you could set your router to always hand the same IP to your PC MAC address, which can be the best of both worlds (and how I do it).
http://www.portforward.coms a good place to start to find how to forward ports for your router if you're using one..
You also have to go to control panel>system>advanced system settings>remote and set things as you need in the 'remote desktop' section.
if you don't have the 'remote desktop' section, then you're running one of the home versions of the OS which doesn't support Remote desktop conenctions (out of the box )
re domains...if its a normal home PC and nothing to do with a business, then you wont have to enter one at all.
Once you're at home, get your TP2 on your internal network (wifi), and then try to rdp to your machine using its INTERNAL ip (192.168.*.*) and see if that works.
if it does, the PC end's fine and it's your router config you need to get right. if it doesnt, then its something at the PC..
post back here if you still have trouble..
ok, so connecting with the tp2 via 192.xxx.x.x works fine from within the network at home on wifi.
however, once i try and connect with the public ip, it doesnt work. did the port forwarding thing.
i setup the static ip, i tried putting the host pc in the dmz, and still nothing. i tried disabling the host pc's firewall, and nothing.
in remote desktop mobile, im putting in the public ip of the host pc, and have tried filling in the username and password fields, and also tried leaving them blank.
any ideas?

if its workin from inside your network, your PCs set just fine...so it must be the firewall or port forward on your router...
double-check that 3389s alowed through its firewall
and
the forwards set to point UPD+TCP on port 3389 to the current internal IP of your PC.
tbh, I cant think of much else but let me know how you get on
ah, got it working. had to forward from ANY -> 3389, not 3389->3389. duh. works now.
thanks guys
Strange, you shouldn't have had to. RDP defaults to 3389 so the client should be using that from the word go (I know mine do!)...it could be a wierd router thing.
Depending on the exact option(s) you had to change to get it going though, it's making your machine a little more open to the outside world. but maybe not in a huge way....
(so, is it now AnyIP:AnyPort>YourIP:3389 or AnyIp:AnyPort>YourIP:AnyPort? I think forwarding all ports to 3389 would wreck eMule!)
It's probably worth changing the port used from the default though tbh.
Your change it in the PCs registry and add ortno to the end of what you enter into the client.
(so it'd be something like 192.168.0.1:3390, for example)
Then change the rules on the router to match, of course.

Hi!
I was able to do Remote Desktop by connecting with my tilt 2 to my local Network so I used my Desktops address (192.168.1.4) as computer name and I was able to connect with the Tilt2.
Now, I am trying to figure out how to do the same but when I am not home thus connected to my network.
I tried using my REAL IP address but it was not able to connect to it.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate any my tilt 2 has a stock 6.5
Thanks
You'll need to set up port forwarding on your router. Looks like this site has a bunch of guides to do so. You need to set it up to forward port 3389 to your desktop address (looks like 192.168.1.4) and you should be good to go, no specific config necessary on your tp2.
Edit: As a side note for security's sake only allow non-administrator accounts to remotely connect and make sure you use strong passwords!
That worked out great...thanks mate!
Yeah thanks Toleraen! I was just now finally getting around to check out the remote desktop client on both my phones, and was looking for exactly that
Glad I could help

I hear VNC get recommended a lot, but I haven't had a chance to check it out yet (I'll do that once I've tried remote desktop). I've attached the cab for it, but I can't find any threads on it's use, you'll have to dig that up yourself
I must have tried a million different settings over several hours and never was able to connect via 3G or even locally when hooked in through wifi. I used to be able to do this with my Treo 750 with little hassle. I have the port forwarding set up on my Linksys WCG200 router. I have even tried turning all firewalls and encryption off. No joy. Anyone else have a Windows XP setup with a Linksys router that has had success with a Tilt 2 stock ROM? Note: I do not have a static IP. Has anyone successfully done this with a dynamic IP?
I am doing it to Windows 7 with a dynamic IP...I just make sure I got the one for the day(week) before living home if I want to remote in from work.
I use Hamachi to create a VPN connection and then remote into my PC that way, leave hamachi running on my desktop and then just run the mobile version on my phone when I want to remote in, that way there are no open port security issues to worry about and the VPN IP address never changes.
Is it any slower or faster than Remote Desktop?

I use "Remote Touch Server" to remotely access my computer. The main reason i use it is because it keeps your computer on while you are accessing it. I use it for a handheld monitor for powerpoint presentations. That way I can see what the computer is doing, and tap the screen to advance to the next slide
Ok, so I downloaded Splashtop Remote from the market. Got it on sale for $0.99. Its an awesome app that lets you remote access your computer from your phone like phonemypc, logmein, and others. With splashtop, however, videos played from your computer stream to your phone smoothly and the audio is routed to the phone as well.
Installed it on phone and computer and it works great...when I'm connected via wifi with my phone to my computers local network. As long as they are both connected to the wifi router it works, otherwise its a no go. I've done research and found that I have to use port forwarding to route the incoming traffic using the port for the Splashtop remote from the router's ip to the computers ip (or maybe vice versa). There are plenty of tutorials on how to do this for this app with a Linksys router, however unfortunately I have a Windstream internet router (the modem and router are both in the same unit). So I found a walkthrough HERE using the third post, and I found out how to do a port forward for my router (2 Wire) HERE, but it still will not connect on the app.
The big difference I found between setting up port forwarding with my router is I don't manually enter any IP addresses, I assume that is because it already knows which ones to use, but I'm not sure. Anyone able to help me with this? I would greatly appreciate it. Below are some screens of the settings I used for my router for the forwarding.
Btw, my IP is 192.168.254.109, and my router IP is 192.168.254.254.
Ha! Ok, I figured it out. When I set up the port forwarding, it assigned my computer a public IP address (the IP provided [192.168.254.109] was the private IP), which is shown in the second screenshot of my first post. That public IP is what I had to use as the IP when configuring my PC on the app on my phone. Mods, please close this thread.
I have the same issue. I used the port checker tool and it said I was good I'm still unable to connect. I'll have to try your fix when I get home.

Ok, let me know how it works out for you.
Got it working.
Thank you for figuring this out. I couldn't get a reply from the dev on this issue. This is how I need it to work. It really doesn't do me any good when I'm on the same wifi because I can just grab my laptop.
Exactly lol so did that work for you?
Yes sir. I'm up and running outside my home network. What a steal this app is. I hit your thanks button.
Cool, glad this worked for you!
Does anyone know of a VNC app that - or any kind of "control my android phone from my PC" that:
1. is NOT Android Screencast
2. WORKS on the CDMA Galaxy Nexus
All the apps I've tried on the market thus far (e.g. droid vnc server) don't work - I think Verizon does something to prevent the IP address from being available to the app, so it reports the IP v6 MAC address and I can't connect to the phone.
Any solution (wired or wireless) would be fine, just one that works well (and is preferably free).
Hey, I'm in the same boat as you, i want to VNC onto my phone from my work PC as it makes my office life so much easier (did this on my iPhone for a couple of years)
I've managed to connect to my Galaxy Nexus GSM via LAN IP fine (IPV6 shows but used IPV4 IP instead from wireless settings) evem though i connected, the screen is blank and i can click but not type so looks like it needs some TLC on the developing side before it'll work :-(
Now for a remote IP you could try whatismyip.com or some simular site but i'm pretty sure most phon operators keep you on an internal network and route you out to the internegt, therefore meaning that you dont have any ports coming into your phone from the internet and therefore can't run any internet services, it has to be connection from your phone to a server not from PC/server on internet to your phone on internet.
I know however that back about 8 years ago i did get a windows mobile http server working, but think it's all changed since then..
Only exception to this would be if your phone was on wifi as you could setup a port forward from the router.
Maybe if TeamViewer made a version which allowed control of the phone, then you'd be able to do what you need.

Liam
Our VNC Server, VMLite VNC Server, works just find on Galaxy Nexus.
You can use USB connection, or reverse connection to connect if your phone's ip is blocked. i.e., you run tight vnc viwer in listening mode, you run the vnc server on the phone in reverse mode, so the vnc server will connect to the viewer.
Our app actually works w/o rooting.

The new teamviewer client will be your answer... just wait till its ported correctly to your rom
Are you sure? I thought team viewer is to view PC from android phones, instead of viewing phones from PC, i.e., different direction.

Guys I am in over my head here, I've watched way too many YouTube videos and guides and I still cant get this.
I have 2 galaxy nexus phones and I am trying to leave one at home running the app IP webcam and taking video. That phone will be connected to my WiFi network at home. Then I am trying to use my other nexus phone running Tinycam Monitor and connected to Verizon's 4g network, to connect to that phone and stream me live video from home.
Now basically I am looking for someone who has set this up correctly or who could help talk me through this.
I have set up a static ip address
I went to my linksys routers web address and tried to port-forward ports 8080 and 80 which are the ones I need
Its not working though and it keeps saying failed connection on the phone. I think I am just typing in something wrong or missing a step.
Can anyone try and help me through this?

Where are you talking about? You mean when I am forwarding the port on the linksys web interface? It asks me for the internal and external port (which I am typing in 8080) and then it asks for the "to ip address"
I am really unsure of what to put in the "To IP address" field. It shows my ip address but leaves blank the last few digits. Am I supposed to get that information from the phone from which I will be viewing the video?

Thanks for the reply, but I am still a little confused on what you are trying to say.
When I start up IP webcam it begins the video and it gives me an ip address and port number to connect to it. (this phone is on home wifi)
When I type those detail in tinycam monitor on my other phone (connected to verizon network), I add a new camera, set it to IP webcam for android, type the the previous ip hostname and port but it always fails to connect
I understand I need to portforward the port I am using to allow it to connect but I dont think I am doing that correctly
Make sure you port forward on your router to allow the connection.

Sounds good man thanks
Essentially, what you need to do is:
1. Set your home phone up with a static IP address. You can normally do this by connecting your phone to wifi, and then going to the control interface for your router and fixing the IP address to that device (look under DHCP settings).
2. Forward an external port (e.g. 8080) of your static home IP address to the http port (80) on the IP address you just assigned permanently to your home phone. This will be under port forwarding in your router interface. The internal port is the one the home phone tells you when you start the webcam program.
3. Contact your ISP and ensure that a) you have a static IP (if not, you can register a dynamic one at e.g. dyn.com, and get software which will update it periodically); and b) that port 8080 is not blocked at their end. You can check your home external IP address on your router page, or if you cbf, go to ip4.me in a web browser and it will tell you.
4. With your external phone, with the wifi off, set your viewer up so that it looks for your router's external IP address and port 8080.
NOTE:
This is not a particularly sophisticated way of setting this up. Please consider the possibility that a technologically competent thief could use this as a way of casing your joint so they can rob you while you're out. Please at least a) ensure you have a strong password on your camera; and b) consider using a non-standard port rather than 8080 as your external port.
The more sophisticated way of doing this involves being able to ssh into your home network using e.g. PuTTY, and using this connection to do tunneling. I run an SSH server on my nexus sometimes (though I don't use it for this purpose), so it is definitely possible for this to be your phone. You can then remote into your home network and then use the camera client as if you were connected via wifi at home. Sing out if you'd like a hand setting up SSH, as it's actually not as hard as it sounds.

To the OP, This is what you have to do. Everything is set up correctly on the phone is what it seems like but without a static IP from your internet service provider you're going to run into issues again the minute it changes it's IP address.
You'll have to connect to your router from the outside world (The internet) via the address that shows up in your router page under status. from there you connect to the port you specified with port forwarding and it'll connect to your phone from anywhere you're located outside of your home wifi.

The more sophisticated way of doing this involves being able to ssh into your home network using e.g. PuTTY, and using this connection to do tunneling. I run an SSH server on my nexus sometimes (though I don't use it for this purpose), so it is definitely possible for this to be your phone. You can then remote into your home network and then use the camera client as if you were connected via wifi at home. Sing out if you'd like a hand setting up SSH, as it's actually not as hard as it sounds.

Yes! That was extremely helpful and thanks for describing it in detail.
It took me about 20 minutes but now it is working perfectly and I am able to stream live video from wherever I wish. (It is working better than I thought on 4g also)
I had to create a static id for my home mobile phone and that was under DHCP settings like you said. That allowed me to properly open up the ports
Thanks for the help everyone and I'm glad I didn't give up because this is pretty sweet, and also I do understand the risks.
On a side note, what kind of strain would this put on my extra nexus if I was running IP webcam 24/7? (while plugged in of course) Guess I will find out

Essentially, what you need to do is:
1. Set your home phone up with a static IP address. You can normally do this by connecting your phone to wifi, and then going to the control interface for your router and fixing the IP address to that device (look under DHCP settings).
2. Forward an external port (e.g. 8080) of your static home IP address to the http port (80) on the IP address you just assigned permanently to your home phone. This will be under port forwarding in your router interface. The internal port is the one the home phone tells you when you start the webcam program.
3. Contact your ISP and ensure that a) you have a static IP (if not, you can register a dynamic one at e.g. dyn.com, and get software which will update it periodically); and b) that port 8080 is not blocked at their end. You can check your home external IP address on your router page, or if you cbf, go to ip4.me in a web browser and it will tell you.
4. With your external phone, with the wifi off, set your viewer up so that it looks for your router's external IP address and port 8080.

Hi..
is it possible to do this with two mobile phones and without a static ip using mobile network only? somehow sending video signal to some free host using mobile internet?
like one phone stays at home connected to mobile internet as ip camera.. and with second I can watch the video from anywhere???
because when i create a local network with one and connect to it with other then all this works great...
OLD post i know but i figured id post in here just in case you guys are still around.
I have a S4 ( i don't think this matters)
But just like the OP. I have these 2 apps . The stream works fine in house (both on my wifi) but i cannot figure out how to get it connected off of wifi. the monitoring phone i am trying to use i turned the wifi off to use the 4glte but it just wont connect. I do have ports 8080 and 80 forwarded.
But what IP and port do i use the the connecting phones settings? the 192..... one is internal and works in the wifi but i tried that one and the external ip.... any ideas?
(the external IP i am using is the one from googling "whats my ip" inside the cams phone web browser so its the ip from the phone not pc)
