yea ive been trying to figure that out too. now i have the kaiser, so it'l be much easier to remote desktop using a pocket pc. https://www.gotomypc.com/en_US/entry.tmpl?_...rgoto&_sf=2 actually has a .cab installer and you can view from wifi, or anywhere. it's only compatible with ppc, but if that's what your using, then good luck!

Thanks mikeeey. I will check this out and report any success.

Agreed we can do that......
but it's not really useful, is it ?
It works quite slow even with my local WiFi connection.

It's cool only if u're doing this for fun....

And there are many other easier ways that I found... VNC works all the same, and is easier to set up.
there's VNC2GO and VNCViewer 1.0.1.17 ... there were some more..., don't remember the names...

The method posted here is really one of the best ones, but IMO, it's good for PPC, not for smartphones.

I'm getting HTC Touch soon, hopefully it's gonna work with it ...

I got this working on Blackjack 2 and I am using SPHelper to emulate the mouse.

However my problem is I can't escape from the lower right-hand (green) navigation pane if the mouse pointer is in the center of it.

Let me just try to clarify this: In the RDP client on the lower right hand corner their is a Green color navigation pane, which I guess on a touch screen phone this would be used to see all the areas of interest of the remote desktop when tapped at a location in this pane; now for those of us without the priviledge of a touch screen who use virtual cursors, scroll our mouse pointer into this field to navigate to various locations of the remote desktop.
If we are located at the dead center of this green navigation pane with a virtual cursor there is no way to escape out of it without shifting the screen that is being displayed in one direction (either all the way up,down,left or right). The inability to tap is what is causing this disadvantage. If the user has the ability to tap then he could first tap on the center of this navigation pane and then work on the section currently being displayed for the remote desktop.

I hope I was able to convey the dillema clearly and wish that there is a solution to this.

New guy here.

I followed the steps for setting up a remote connection to my HTC Mogul (Sprint). It works while the phone is Active Sync-ed to the desktop computer, but when I remove the connection I get the following error message:

Cannot connect. Likely reasons are:

1.) Specified computer name or ip does not exist.
2.) A network error occurred while establishing the connection.

I used my computer name as listed on the desktop.

In an attempt to narrow down the cause of the error, I disabled my firewall (COMODO) as well as the windows firewall (just as a precaution). Still the same error.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance.

As an added note: When I am logged off on the desktop I get the same message. Currently, I am able to connect through Active Sync, but not able to log onto windows as it states it couldn't log me on, that I should check my username & password. Which both are correct. Again, shutting down the firewall produces the same message.
