Remote Desktop-it works!
 

Wow,it's so cool to see your home computer desktop on your N800! Thanks to Symbian-Guru I downloaded rdesktop and followed the directions at http://www.symbian-guru.com/welcome/...on-t.html#more . Some tips. Your IP address goes into the first line. If you have a router though, it's the routers address. You will have to set up a user account on you desktop computer with a password. Your domain is probably MSHOME, unless you changed it at some time. You'll get your keyboard from -Accessories-accesibilty-keyboard.

I can now run my desktop computer from anywhere in the world. I'm trying to figure out how to get the sound working as then I could accesss XM radio.

Great.
Please ask your Symbian Guru how to setup and run remote deskop on Nokia 800 getting access to Nokia Symbian running phones.

I am still interested in getting access to Nokia Free Maps run on S60 Nokia phone from Nokia 770/800.

Re: Remote Desktop-it works!
 

it closes everytime i try to connect, nevermind. it will close if your computer firewall is not setup correctly.

Re: Remote Desktop-it works!
 

it closes down whenever the connection fails. the connection fails for any reasons, wrong ip, wrong firewall, accepting desktop is not configed properly......

Any luck to get the audio comes out from the iT,
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=10163.

and it works ONLY in your home network. If outside your home, you need portforward as well as the listening channel...that is where I am stucked. I still ONLY able to rdesktop in my home, not outside yet:( . Pls post how you circumvent this situation,

TIA

That last post had a good url to some very detailed intructions. Remember, if it doesn't work, you probably have the wrong IP or you didn't turn on allow remote access in control panel on your pc. If you have a router, it is the router's ip.
I find I can access websites alot faster than on the Linux browser. Plus it looks just like a laptop. I wish we could figure out the audio problem.

Re: Remote Desktop-it works!
 

What do you mean by the router's ip? There are many ips. The one that comes into your router and the one that your router hands out. If you use the one that comes into your router, you need a listening port and port forwarding. If you use your ip that the router gives out, it will work ONLY in your home network. Pls post how you made it work, thanks

. The symbian guru's direction is not as to the point as mine:rolleyes:

Re: Remote Desktop-it works!
 

you can leave the domain field blank and it will still work btw.

Re: Remote Desktop-it works!
 

Works fine for me, except if I switch screens on my N800, then try to come back to the remote session, the remote session screen is unresponsive. Still, it's nice to have this tool along with VNC.

Re: Remote Desktop-it works!
 

I would recommend that if you want to use remote desktop from outside your home network, you set up some kind of VPN to prevent hackers from getting in.
Also, there is an excellent virtual keyboard you can install on your PC so that your Remote desktop session is fully functional. Here is the virtual keyboard: http://www.lakefolks.org/cnt/

Also, to right-click in the remote desktop session, you just press the center button of navigation pad.

Re: Remote Desktop-it works!
 

Thanks, that is what i need, a virtual keyboard. Do you by any chance, know how to get the audio working? TIA

I haven't had the need to try audio from PC to N800 but if you have any local files on your PC, you might be able to run some kind of supported streaming audio server on your PC and play it on your N800. I sometimes transfer files (such as PDF) from PC to N800. I just have the Filezilla FTP server running on the PC and shared a folder where I want to transfer the files from. Then, on the N800 browser, you just type ftp://192.168.1.150 or whatever your PC's IP address is.

Re: Remote Desktop-it works!
 

Yep, rdesktop works a charm... I only wish I could send a wol command from my N800.

Google and Maemo.org come up with nothing. there is the etherwake package supposed to be somewhere, but I can´t find it...

Does anyone where I can get it? Or anything similar?

Thanks

Orb works fine for audio.

Remote access: forward port 3389
 

I agree, Rdesktop works really, really well, especially at home inside my firewall. I can connect to my home network remotely using my Sprint Treo 700p as my internet connection as well (or WiFi at Starbucks, etc). The speed isn't as impressive as when using within the home network but its still amazing to me this works at all :)

In order to hit your PC remotly behind a router/firewall you have to forward port 3389 to the IP address of the machine you want to connect to. On my Linksys router you do that in the Applications section and then enter 3389 (RDP port) in both from and to, and select TCP. Then when connecting remotly you have to enter your external IP address (assigned my your internet provider). If your service uses dynamic IP, then its better to use something like DYNDNS which gives you an address (i.e. yourname.dyndns.org) that you use instead of the ip address, and it keeps track of your current IP address (Linksys routers have a setting to automatically update DynDNS everytime your provider changes your IP address).

One question I have is where can I find a listing of what the N800 hardkeys do in Rdesktop?

Thanks,

Anybody tryed rd with Mac system?

Re: Remote Desktop-it works!
 

I've used VNC on my Macbook Pro at home and the VNC viewer on my N800 at work to get back into my home system easily enough.
I've also RDP'd into one of our sniffer laptops at a remote site and cranked up wireshark on the laptop's second 1Gbps NIC to troubleshoot network errors before, all via the N800. Worked like a charm.

Re: Remote Desktop-it works!
 

I WOL using this web site. It sends the "magic packets" over UDP port 9.
