No- but my cell service has all ports open AFAIK. T-Mo stopped port blocking a few years ago. I can't get in from open WiFi either- only my own network. I've opened the port on my router's firewall (I think- this POS "Actiontec" combo DSL modem/WiFi router Qwest issues has nasty counter- intuitive software. Several content servers that worked fine on my last router don't work consistently with this one. I've only had this thing a month, so I haven't had time to mess with it much.) > Remote desktop even runs faster on non standard ports through free wifi > because of the port throttling going on to lower bandwidth usage. Part of my problem, probably, is the WinMo RD clent. There's no option to change ports, and I'm not actually sure it resolves names, though it's supposed to. Entering the computer's name when on network doesn't work, but entering it's IP address does. To connect remotely I enter the web address issued by my dynamic DNS redirector service- maybe I need to enter the numeric address directly.

Works quite nicely. I used TSWeb on a netbook tethered to my mobile and it worked quite nicely but I like things I use from my phone itself without having to tether anything to it. But talking about VNC. I have a question for you. Can you setup VNC to work with a one specific Host Header Name? BTW you can setup TSWeb to work with one specific Host Header Name.

TSWeb is a part of IIS so the following might help explain what a Host Header Name is: "How To Use Host Header Names to Configure Multiple Web Sites in Internet Information Services 5.0" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308163 Since you have XP Pro then you have everything you need right now to test out TSWeb. I even know someone that can help you setup TSWeb. :-) Years ago when I messed with VNC all you had to do to get to the name/password prompt was use an IP address with a port number. If it is still like that then I'm still not interested in it. BTW can we drop alt.cellular.cingular and alt.internet.wireless from this thread? TIA |
