Terminal Services via Wifi on XDAIIs

[UniqueTouch]

Hi all,

I've just got my XDAIIs and am just playing about with it before I start loading all my apps and syncing with outlook.

I've got the Wifi working with my home access point (with encryption).

When I try and use Terminal Service to remote desktop to my pc it trys to dial-up to O2 Active GPRS - why won't it use the wifi connection thats enabled? I can ping the pc via hostname and ip fine though.

By the way, the XDIIs is setup for use on O2 as standard (it's a brand new contract phone).

Any ideas? ANy help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

i think if you change the type of network from internet to work on the xda iis, then it might work.

I had a similar problem with activesync over wifi and had to set network card to work to get it to connect.

I tried that and it was still doing the same.

For atest I deleted all connection settings.

Then Terminal Services told me that I HAD to create a VPN connection setting for the server I'm connecting to. I did this but it kept faling when trying to connect with user/pass error.

I then thought I'd try the IP address of my machine instead of the hostname - This worked straight away!!

So does Terminal Services not like hostnames? I was hoping to connect to my server when I'm away from home using my no-ip address.

Does anyone have a similar setup or can shed any light on this?

Many thanks

DOH!

Just realised I should be using the fully qualified hostname rather than just the pc name.

i.e.

"server.uniquetouch.local" instead of just "server"
"athlon1400.uniquetouch.local" instead of just "athlon1400"
"pentium4.uniquetouch.local" instead of just "pentium4"
"dell.uniquetouch.local" instead of just "dell"

Now that I've got that bit working, I'm going to add the O2 GPRS connection settings back in and see if it still works.

Have you tried pocketVNC yet?? im just about to install it as i run vnc on all our system instead of terminal services

I also recommend VNC viewer.
It acts, amongst others, as a remote control to my windows media player & winamp on my media server.
You can find it all over the place, but here is 1 link:
