I tried all the below steps while trying to connect through the Rdesktop on my N900. I am on PR1.2. When I enter all my details in the login screen, it flashes a message... "Rdesktop connecting to 192.168.*.*" and after some time, it says "RDesktop cannot connect". Can anyone help me out please?
1 - set a static ip to your pc in your LAN See here
2 - Disable firewall on pc or allow remote desktop port 3389 See here
3 - Set password to your aco**** on your pc and make it member of Administrator See here
4- Go to your router's management page and forward remote desktop port to your computer's new static ip See here
5 - Enambe remote desktop on your pc See here
6 - Start Rdesktop 1.7 package on your N900 and type your computers internet ip you can get it from a site like whatismyip.org
For easy use see if your router supports http://www.dyndns.com/ . If it does just open a free account and you won't need to remember your pc's ip all the time.
can any one help me with the settings .its giving me error message when i am try connectinbg VNC viewer with my laptop "could not connect to server"
Is this ovel WLAN or 3G? Do you have any firewalls in the way? Can you ping your laptop from the N900 (you'll need to be root to run ping on the N900)?
I connected my N900 to my PC (Win 7) without a password (I changed the security policy on my PC) but I cannot access MyDocs on the PC.
I can see the network drive and I see the files in MyDocs for a very short time before Win7 says I have no permission.
What's the problem?
check for th share property on the folder or disk you need to share
right clik on the folder you need access to then choose 'property' or 'share'
then add 'anybody' or 'guest' to the agreed list of users allowed
FYI for all those who do not have Windows 7/Vista Professional and are stuck with home premium versions - there is a workaround, and now I too have RDesktop working on my n900!
Is it possible to use Rdesktop to connect to a desktop that is connected to the internet via a wireless router? My research shows that the desktop connected to the router doesn't have an IP. But I could be wrong!
