Now that you mention a "port scanner" here is a good one that will work on Todd's Sony Ericsson http://www.cam.com/vxutil_pers.html All it does is list the open ports and it is easy enough to setup IIS to open any port or ports that you want to test.

Sadly, the vxUtil port scanner hangs on my X1 when using it via cellular. No matter, though, I found the problem. I hadn't updated the DynDNS app on my PC in quite awhile, and it was returning the wrong IP address. Updated to the latest version and I can remote right in with Remote Desktop Mobile. Having said that, for overall useability, it really pales next to LogMeIn. With LMI I can zoom in and out and resize the desktop display. (And it doesn't rearrainge all of desktop icons!) I can really only imagine using RDM if I need PC audio to play over the mobile. Maybe I'm missing something, but when I remote in to my PC with RDM, the PC desktop switches to 800x480 to match the phone's screen size. (The display change is what moves the desktop icons around.)

I just tried vxUtil on my X1 and remembered that it is very slow on cellular so I just scan one or two ports at a time. vxUtil helped me find a problem a long time ago when I was trying to get vxWeb to work on port 80 so I hadn't used it for a while myself. Plus, you don't need an IP address to scan ports as you probably found out. > Having said that, for overall useability, it really pales next to > LogMeIn.

RDM certainly isn't for everything so I use pcAnywhere for mobile when I want to connect to a computer with a lot of desktop icons and don't care about the missing sound. pcAnywhere for mobile will not let you zoom in but it will let you zoom out to see a screen much bigger than the screen on your phone and pcAnywhere for mobile works with XP Home. > Maybe I'm missing something, but when I remote in to my PC with RDM, the > PC desktop switches to 800x480 to match the phone's screen size. (The > display change is what moves the desktop icons around.) But RDM looks just like a desktop computer when you go to full screen in landscape mode and I like that part of it the most. My biggest complaint about RDM is stereo sound is reduced to mono. |
