have managed to get rdesktop working with my home wifi but cant seem to get the setting correct with my 3 data connection. have read this whole thread but cant seem to find the answer. can someone please assist? thanks in advance.

You're probably trying to access your desktop computer through a router ? this way you are accessing the router while connected from ur 3G , try entering the router settings and route the port of the remote desktop to your desktop PC and use ur WAN address to connect through rdesktop (or try no-ip.com)

Re: N900- Remote Desktop

here is the situation,

1) If I am on wlan, I can connect my pc which has Win7 Ultimate as an OS. My Kaspersky was on, no probs.

2) If I am on 3G, I cannot. I created an account on no-ip.com, downloaded its' client app, created a domain, added the domain on client, everything is ok for now. (if I go to my no-ip domain when I'm on pc, my modem login window welcomes me. But it can be because my pc is on same network with my modem.) So tried it with my n900 over 3G, rdesktop says, cannot connect. Tried my no-ip address on browser, it couldn't establish connection, waited, waited, waited....... Nothing. My modem is Airties RT205.

What is wrong?

BTW, how to look around of my desktop? I see my desktop, but cant scroll, go left or right. Is there any combination to do it?

Hi,

1) Set up a static IP on your client - Set it same as your external IP
2) Make sure you turn all sort of firewalls off- including the one your router has for your PC
3) Set your user as the admin
4) I hope your OS is XP- Vista does not support RDP

Thanks

I will be giving this another crack soon. Currently running on XP.

Thanks guys! I had it right all along, except for the IP, and that the computer I was originally testing it on was Vista and connected to the same network as my target computer over wifi as well. This awesome!

Re: N900- Remote Desktop

>Vista does not support RDP

Yes, it does - except on any of the Home editions, where it was deliberately crippled. And there are plenty of websites that will happily tell you how to bypass this restriction on the Home editions

Re: N900- Remote Desktop

Not sure who maintains RDesktop (aimjournals perhaps?), but a magic packet/remote turn on feature would be very cool. Otherwise I have to remember to leave my desktop on.

Are you referring to the Wake On Lan (WOL) feature? If yes there are a few dedicated tools for that in the downloads section.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop

quick update with new keyboard layouts :

I'm not the original developer so I'm not uploading it in the repositories.

As I needed a Belgian keyboard layout and it was not available in the gui, I looked in the code and I saw the following list of keyboards was remarked out :

Quote:

{ "Icelandic", "is" },
{ "Hungarian", "hr" },
{ "Lithuanian", "lt" },
{ "Latvian", "lv" },
{ "Dutch (Belgium)", "nl-be" },
{ "Norwegian", "no" },
{ "Faeroese ", "fo" },
{ "French (Belgium)", "fr-be" },
{ "French (Canada)", "fr-ca" },
{ "French (Suisse)", "fr-ch" },
{ "Slovenian", "sl" },
{ "Swedish", "sv" },
{ "Turkish", "tr" },

I've put them back in now, recompiled into a deb file and it's downloadable here : http://www.filefactory.com/file/caa254b/n/rdesktop_1.7-maemo3_armel.deb

I've not changed the version as it's not an official one and the only change is the bigger list of presented keyboardlayouts in the gui.

Obviously the programmers didn't think anyone of these countries would ever use rdesktop gui on Maemo :)

Thanks to them anyway to make it available in the first place.

I've tested the install on my N900 and it works fine, with my Belgian (remote) keyboard.

Have fun !
