| | Remote connection from WM5 PDA Hi, Im trying to remotely connect to my home PC through my WM5 PDA's Terminal Services App. The problem seems to be that My network has only got 1 ip address. I have 2 pcs, 1 laptop, 1 PDA an xbox360 and PS3 on the network but whichever i check out using whatismyip.com it gives me the same IP. If I am on the network and connect using the local ip, eg 192.168.2.5 it works but from outside it obviously doesn't. It gives me the error "The client could not connect to the remote computer, the server might be busy" This also happens when using another PC that is not on the network. So my question is, how do I find out each computers specific public ip address?? Hope you can help, |

Normally you append the new port number to the address, ie. 12.34.56.78:NewPort. With WM5 devices that does not work, or at least it did not when I last had a PocketPC. The solution is a registry hack. There is a registry hack that you can try however...Open the registry and navigate to... HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default Add a DWORD named Server Port and enter the decimal port number of the new Remote Desktop Listening Port. Alternatively the Tweaks2K 2program automated this a bit. See registry hack 81... http://www.tweaks2k2.com/portal/stat...50224182009983 Also note the WM5 device will only do 64-bit encryption so if the Remote Desktop host PC is set to "High" encryption the WM5 device will never connect. The host needs to be configured for the default "Not configured" or a "Client compatible" mode. -- Al Jarvi (MS-MVP Windows Networking) Please post *ALL* questions and replies to the news group for the mutual benefit of all of us...
