Remote Vista

[cheapjing]

Sorry, I'm new with WM6. One feature that got me interested and buying the X7500 Advantage was for the remote desktop. I recall reading a thread about that and was able to download WM6 RDP-Finster. However, I wasn't able to get it to work till now. Please advise on an error message stating that my computer is not set up for remote desktop. Please help me out here as buying the advantage most features didn't come in as handy as I thought it would be. One would be, the Tomtom GPS, one free map, and how sad, I live in Canada, meaning, they don't offer the free map here.:confused: Anyways, back to the topic, please advise on how to get remote desktop (I'm currently using Vista Home Premium) to work on my Advantage. :D

You could also try using vnc. I have successfully vnc'ed into to computers from my AT&T 8525. Just search up vnc mobile.

And I think there is a free program called pocket streets or something. I don't know if it does gps, but you could give it a try.

I suspect your problem is nothing to do with the Athena or WM6 - it is to do with Vista Home Premium. If you are trying to connect from your Advantage to your Vista machine it won't work as Vista Home Premium does not allow incoming remote desktop (i.e. terminal server) connections - another example of MS cutting down its own software.

There is apparently a solution but I haven't tried it:http://www.unet.fi/fransblog/2007/08/30/enable-remote-desktop-connection-on-vista-home-premium/

Yup, just use VNC. Install it, set your password, open a hole in your firewall for the right port (or ports, if you enable both Java viewer and direct connection). Done.

As for the maps - just buy an aftermarket product. I couldn't stand relying on the data connection for map info since cell service can be spotty in my area, so I bought Delorme's mapping software. It comes with full North American maps. There are other options on the market, too.

looks like a really good pogram but mot want A free solution and abiet most vista pc's are preloaded with either home
basic or home premium that leaves you to a free solution like the vista premium hack mentioned above or VNC. also the aspect that the t-mobile wm6 official rom seemed to be missing RDP was a let down when realising that the original wm5 rom had it in there was quite dissapointing heheh

for the sake of £7 just buy it, as Hs1333a said, it is worth every penny, it truly is, it is astonishing just how good it is. try the 14 day trial and you will never look back
