Thank you I tried fake cursor but it is not very compatible with my devive, for example I can not switch off it. Anyone knows if I can use bluemouse program on my HTC S710? :rolleyes:

yea i know theres no way to switch it off, which kinda sucks. if u do turn it off it just sends u to the homescreen. u say sphelper locks? the only time it ever locked for me is when i click the 9 button, it makes the softkeys stop working lol. then i have to take hte battery out of my phone cuz it wont turn off either.

I remote desktoped without adding a new account and without installing sphelper. I'm running Dutty's WM6 ROM on a HTC 8525. The PC is Vista 64bit. The only thing I had to do was allow the remote access in the Control Panel stuff. Then I started Remote Desktop on the phone (comes with WM6), added my IP address and an exisitng PC account ID/PW. The PC went back to the login screen with a message below my ID saying that I was logged in remotely.

On the phone, I could see my PC's desktop (as if I were logged onto the PC). I could start up Media Player and play a song, but no sound from the PC or phone (of course).
Also surfed the web (while viewing Firefox on the phone).

Not sure on the purpose of the other account and sphelper.

wel ur device says 8525, so im assuming thats the phone your using? in that case you wouldnt need sphelper, and no u dont need to create another acount if u already have a password on yours, but it will mess up the arangement of your icons on your desktop if you do use your account. thats why i was saying create a seperate one where its ok if everything gets changed around to fit the display of your phone

I'm trying to get everything all working on my Dash. I've got the RDP client working mostly ok (for some reason the keyboard doesn't quite work as it wont stop typing numbers instead of letters where they overlap - but I just made an account/password that only used keys not in that section of the keyboard to get around that).

I've installed sphelper - which works although the app is godawful and gets stuck and hung up all the time.

The problem I have is that it doesn't actually seem to *do* anything once logged in. I can move the mouse pointer around, which is nice that it lets me use that corner mini window to scroll around the larger desktop - but I can't actually click anything, the action button, 1 and 2 seem to do nothing at all. can't launch a thing.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Hey guys, new to the forums and this is the first forum I've found that actually mentioned RDP support for wm6. I am having a bit of a problem though how exactly do I go about installing/using rdp in wm6? When I extracted the files I don't see any file that looks executable and I transferred the extracted directory to my phone and it's like it doesn't suppor the file types. I have a T-Mobile Dash. Thanks for any help/advice in advance.

Ok I did get RDP installed on my phone, but not sure where exactly to put sphelper? When I connect to my machine it displays the desktop but it seems as if I should be able to scoll in order to see it all, but I can't scroll and there is no mouse.

well wait a minute...you shouldnt have to extract anything. you just copy the .cab file to your device and install it from there. you arent trying to extract the .cab are you?

Yea I did try to extract it at first and I copied the directory to the phone. Then I copied the .cab and it worked fine. Sorry I'm new to Windows Mobile, I'm still learnig how it handles applications and what file types. I was not able to get the mouse to work though. Might have something to do with sphelper, I'm not sure where exactly on the phone to put it. I believe I put it in \windows directory on the phone and in I guess would be the "root" dir on the phone also. ;)

Good post. I just got put on to WM6 RDP a week ago. I really enjoy it so far. I have managed to get this to work between my ppc and laptop while I'm at home.

My question is this: Is it possible to access my laptop remotely using my ppc from a totally separte place? My goal, simply is to use my ppc at 'work' to access my laptop at 'home' via the internet. I have not been succesful with figuring this out.

I'm confused with the firewall, router, port, static IP .... stuff!

Reading other posts in other forums...I'm getting some understanding but no success as of yet.

If any one here can help me with this. Or let me know if it is at all possible.

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!

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 ...
