Like many other people, my carrier filters all my GPRS through their HTTP Proxy.
- POP/SMTP email can't be polled
- Windows Live Messenger won't connect
- Streaming whatever is obviously impossible
- Whatever other network you want won't work
- All you can do is browse web pages and update RSS news
I wrote a very unpopular thread in the past about how to bypass your carrier's GPRS Proxy server
in order to access blocked ports for emails & other services. It was unpopular probably because
it only worked on a PC
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314757
Now I made it work ON your phone.
Basic Guide - This post
Tip to autoload everything once setup - Bottom of first post
Make a SSH server - Second Post
Setup your email settings - Third Post
~~~~~~STEP BY STEP GUIDE ~~~~~~~~~~
1 - Setup a SSH server to listen to port 443. Port 443 being opened to the internet OBVIOUSLy.
Linux users will have no issue with this.
However, Windows XP users need to install a SSH server, so please see my second post for how to do this.
2 - Download Pocketputty for your phone
3 - In your phone, go to: settings / system / About / Device ID (tab) | Write something unique, but in a single word, such as your username.
4 - Go in Settings / Connections / Connections / Advanced / Select Networks | Select "My Work Network" for both options.
It might not be named "My work Network" but it has to be the network which you can add a proxy server to the settings.
5 - Add your GPRS information for the "My Work Network".
6 - Go to "Edit my proxy server"
7 - Check the two boxes in proxy settings, then click on "Advanced"
HTTP : add your carrier's HTTP proxy address. Pocket IE cannot work any other way.
WAP : Useless (unless you NEED this working, add your carrier's proxy, or the same information SOCKS proxy under)
Secure WAP : useless
SOCKS : write your phone's "about" name from step 2, port is 1080
8 - Click Ok,Ok,Ok etc until you get back to "today"
9 - Load PocketPutty
TAB - Session
Hostname : your SSH server's external IP address
Port : 443
TAB - Tunnel
Source : 1080
Destination : (nothing)
Check circle "Dynamic"
Click Add (top right)
Go back to Tab - Session
Stored Session : proxy
Click Save
Click Cancel
10 - Use a registry editor & Edit the following Values (MAKE SURE IT IS DECIMAL VALUES)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER / SOFTWARE / SIMONTATHAM / PUTTY / SESSIONS / PROXY
LocalPortAcceptAll = 1
ProxyHost = (your cellphone carrier's HTTP proxy server)
ProxyPort = (Your cellphone carrier's HTTP Proxy server port, should be 80 or 8080)
ProxyMethod = 3
RemoteCommand = top
12 - Initiate a GPRS connection (Settings / Connections / Connections / Manage Existing Connections /
Select your GPRS connection, Tap & hold, click on connect)
13 - Load Putty
14 - Load settion "Proxy"
15 - Click Open & A black terminal window will appear
16 - go back to the "today" screen as soon as possible (it's the only way it will connect, while in the background,
I think it's a bug or something)
17 - Wait a few seconds, suddenly a window will appear asking you if you wish to save an encryption key. Click yes
(note : this will only happen on the first time you connect)
18 - Go back into Putty (DO NOT LOAD A NEW PUTTY WINDOW, use the task manager to bring back the ongoing session)
19 - It should ask your username then password, fill in the obvious information requirements.
20 - Once you are logged into your SSH server, type "top" and press enter, it will allow you to keep your connection alive.
21 - Go back to the "Today" screen and try loading Windows Live Messenger, for the first time, while using the proxy, it should connect!
~~~~~~TIP~~~~~
With Total Command, you can make a shortcut that will load putty and log you in AUTOMATICALLY
Find Putty.exe
Click on File, then >>>>>>>>>>>>> (A) >
Create Shortcut
Place it in \windows\start menu\programs\
Then browse to that folder with total command
find Putty.exe.ink
Tap/Hold and open properties
tab SHORTCUT
Assuming putty.exe is located in "\" write this in target:
\PUTTY.EXE" -load proxy -l yourusername -pw yourpassword
Then click on ok, tadaa, simply start up Putty fro that shortcut and go back to the today screen.
It will log you on automatically without your intervention.
You still need to initate a GPRS connection first though.

20 - Success, you have a running SSH server for your phone to connect to.
Notice - Make sure that if your Windows machine is behind a router or firewall, that the port 443 is
forwarded to your computer. Otherwise, nobody on the internet would be able to connect to your
SSH server on port 443, including your phone.
POP/SMTP EMAIL SERVER ACCESS
Im going to write an example for using GMAIL. You can guess the rest for different services.
1 - Load your Proxy session, but dont connect yet.
2 - Go to the Tunnel tab
Local : 35553 (or any big unused port number)
Remote : pop.googlemail.com:993
Select "local"
Click add
Again
Local : 35554 (different from above)
Remote : smtp.googlemail.com:465
Click add
Go back to session and save the new settings
Now connect to your SSH server
Go to your Messaging
Add a new Email account
Email address : [email protected]
UNCHECK : Try to get your email settings directly from the internet
Select Provider : Internet Email
Fill everything yourself until "Incoming Mail Server"
Incoming mail server : alkizmotytn:35553 (that's MY PHONE's name, type in YOURS!!!)
Account type : pop3
Enter your gmail username & password
Outgoing Mail Server : alkizmotytn:35554 (dont be an idiot)
Check box : Outgoing server requires authentification
Click "Advanced Settings"
Check box : Require SSL for incoming
Check Box : Require SSL for outgoing
Network Connections : Work
It should be able to download/send emails now, while using Putty.
ok, so I can connect but when it does it says
Fatal error....
in the terminal it says
Bash: Top: Command not found
BTW! Thanks for this, If this works your my hero. If not well. Your still my hero. lol
Ohhh I know exactly what's wrong.
Here's how to fix it :
1 - Run "setup.exe" that you downloaded from cygwin
2 - Repeat the same steps of installation (you'll notice, it's taking your previous settings already)
3 - Find "Procps" package, click on "skip" just like you did with OpenSSH, Zlib, etc.
4 - Click next, and it will install "procps" on top of your SSH server.
5 - Reconnect, TOP will now work.
Here's WHY this happened
"top" command is a command that is sent automatically. It is added in Step 10.
"top" is ALWAYS part of a Linux system, but aparently not for the SSH server for windows.
I didnt think to check this since I run a small linux server.
now it should work
GOOD NEWS THOUGH : YOU HAVE PASSED THE HARDEST PART! TOP WAS A TINY ISSUE!!!
edit - I edited the SSH Server setup to include "procps" in the package installation list. I hope people read this thread. This is a major improvement for those stuck behind a HTTP proxy.
~~~~~~ TO RUN A SSH SERVER WITHOUT A COMPUTER ~~~~~~~
If you dont like the idea of running a PC 24/7 at home, you can turn your wireless router into a SSH server.
Look at the hardware list here
http://wiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware
If your router's model number and revision has "SUPPORTED" under status, you might just be in luck!!!
You can install a linux based firmware operating system on your wireless router. It will replace your router's OS completely with a MUCH MUCH more powerful one.
I recommend X-WRT since it is VERY userfriendly
http://x-wrt.org/
But OpenWRT is good for advanced linux users
http://wiki.openwrt.org/OpenWrtDocs/Installing
There's also DD-WRT for the complete n00b
http://www.dd-wrt.com/dd-wrtv2/index.php
All of them, once installed, have a SSH server right out of the box.
So your server is your router.
Thanks, I will try this.

I'd recommend a Linksys WRT54GL if you are going to dish out the cash for a new router. Might as well buy a POWERFUL router. The WRT54GL can be overclocked to 250mhz (mine runs at 262mhz stable) and you can mod it to add a flash SD card to it to expand the memory to install OTHER applications.
You can run a small HTTP server with 1-2GB of storage with the SD mod.
I run an Asterisk VoIP server + HTTP + the SSH tunnel thing + router can become a relay access point (the router is a WIFI CLIENT!!) and a bunch of other linux applications.
WRT54G and WRT54GS are good too, but you need to find an older revision number.
FON routers are... meh...
edit - Im out for the night, Ill check back in the morning for questions and problems.
PLEASE READ!!!!
I forgot a VERY important registry setting for PocketPutty in Step 10
LocalPortAcceptAll = 1
VERY IMPORTANT!!!! ok?
sorry for the mistakes
Me no Likey SSH
Hmm SSH server has given me lots of trouble. I think I would rather use an HTTP proxy if this made things work.
Nothing really works, and my internet connection is messed up when I use the SSH server.
I won't give up though. THIS IS A GREAT GUIDE.
If this is the way to kick T-Mo's Butt, I'm going to drive this into the ground!
Please try this, and post your results.
Alkizmo and I will hopefully get time to get this to work.
More Alkizmo than I, I'll be the guinea pig
almost working... help please ^^
Alkizmo thanks for the great guide!
I got almost everything to work.. but I guess there's something still missing..
Pocketputty correctly connects to the SSH server with the correct tunnel settings (checked many times). Registry settings for Pocketputty are set correctly as well (also checked..). By the way, Pocketputty doesn't seem to know how to start EDGE/GPRS connection on demand, so I either manually connect, or start Opera browser and go to a random website to start the connection.
The proxy settings changed under the T-Mobile Data network, with HTTP proxy pointing to the T-Mobile well-known proxy server, and the SOCKS proxy (tried both SOCKS4 and SOCKS5) pointing to the localhost:1080 (tried 127.0.0.1, tried the id of the phone).
No luck... Windows Live Messenger still cannot connect.
Let's try to find out the missing piece!
Thank you!
p.s. using AT&T Tilt, with Dutty's hybrid ROM.
sorry for the late reply. It's been a while since i've roamed these forums.
So, you should try the SSH tunnel on another computer with the PC version of Putty and see if you can tunnel through sock4, so you can eliminate the server as a fault.
Second, you can do another test to see if it's pocketputty's fault or T-Mobile's proxy being very strange.
You test it by changing pocketputty's proxy settings to be very specific with a pop3 email server as explained in the guide. Then create a pop3 email account on your phone to connect through the pocketputty proxy.
If that doesnt work, then im thinking that there's something else at work to prevent you from tunneling. I had someone else with t-mobile that couldnt SSH tunnel for some reason.
I found your MISTAKE mmoroz!
You enter in the SOCKS proxy - localhost:1080
however, as specified in the step #3, you have to first give a unique ID name to your phone. Name it : mmoroz
Settings / System / About / Device ID / Device Name : mmoroz
THEN in SOCKS proxy, you enter - mmoroz:1080
WM5/6 dont seem to understand localhost or 127.0.0.1, that's why you got to specify your phone's Device ID as the localhost address.
windows live mail on windows mobile
Does windows live mail (hotmail) works with this method? The instruction looks complicated, but I'm willing to do it if it works with live mail with push feature. By the way, do I need static ip address for the server?
Thank a lot! This is a great guide!

Hotmail push email will work. The moment you're connected to messenger, all the other services will follow.
You dont need a static IP, but you'd need to have a system to either update your DNS address with your new IP every time, or manually change it yourself.
I got a dynamic IP, but since im on broadband, the connection is active all the time, so my IP pretty much never changes.

Thanks A LOT! I'm working hard to get this work (no xbox for past 48 hrs). I'm using dd-wrt router to do the SSH server, but i have to change my verizon router to bridge mode first & i'm still trying to change it. Anyway, i will keep you update w/ my progress.
Guys, I STRONGLY recommend you setup a TEMPORARY SSH server before making all this effort to setup a permanent one. You can do this on your computer directly connected to the internet.
You should TEST with your phone BEFORE making a permanent server. That way, if your carrier blocks something special prevent SSH access, then you wouldn't have wasted your time setting up the server.
problems!
Hi,
I set up a SSH server on my Buffalo router with DD-WRT firmware. Instead of just use password, I used a private key for SSH server authorization. I did load/save the private on to the client on my phone. I got this error msg. on my phone when I try to connect to the SSH server.
PuTTY Fatal Error
"Server unexpectedly closed network connection"
I check the firewall log on the router, it confirmed that it accepted the connection from my phone. I did double check the IP address of the phone and confirmed that it's the same IP address from log:
Source IP------Protocol------Destination Port Number-----Rule
66.94.XX.XX------TCP ---------------------https------Accepted
By the way, I'm using T-Mobile USA service. Please see the attached picture for the SSH setting on my router (I did exactly as show on the picture, but I copied the pic from the web). I also enabled SSH remove management on my router.
I have been reading a lot of information regarding SSH. I can't figure out the problems yet. Please offer any suggestions.

I wouldn't suggest leaving any router, whether it be DD-WRT, OpenWRT or etc... open to SSH for an extended period of time... you're going to open up a bad can of worms security-wise. It's cool to do it for a short amount of time for testing, but when your done... close the hole and shut it down

You're not using port 443. You need to use port 443, that's one of the only ports opened by the T-Mobile proxy.
Also, im not sure if SSHD will work with my trick. I only tested with SSH

Make the password extra extra long and block your router from responding to ping requests and you'll be fine. SSH is a very very very secure protocol.

I'm rather surprised not to have seen third party support step up to fill in Activesync's worthless inability to sync over wifi or wlan. It would be very nice to revive this forgotten feature. Don't you people remember the uproar it caused when MS removed it?
Anyhow, I'm almost certain there's a work-around. Has anyone seen or heard anything in development?
Why revive this feature?
1. For the sheer convenience of not having to go through exchange servers or third party services especially when they may not be available to you
2. To sync user specific software that's otherwise not syncable OTA
3. Greater freedom share files over a wlan/wifi connection especially with these new and faster broadband networks (ev-do, etc)
4. Not to have to make special trips to your workstation just to sync..
I've found a workaround - sorry it's in German - here:
http://www.mypocketpc.ch/Workshops/15899.aspx
But it seems that since ActiveSync 4.5 you need to configure a DOMAIN on the pocketPC, not only login and password.
Does anybody know how to set something like a "pseudo domain" or if the PC has a "default domain", if no domain is set?
I will try to translate the workaround now:
In earlier versions of ActiveSync WLAN Sync was possible (last known version 3.8), since version 4.x it was removed..
You can do a remote WLAN Sync as followed:
Start ActiveSync on the PocketPC. Go to Options > Server OR Configure Server [depends on your ActiveSync Version]
Enter the IP of the Windows PC. [if you don't know do: Start > Run > cmd > ipconfig /all ]
Enter Login and Password which are the same as on your Windows PC. [SSL I think should be deactivated]
IN v4.5 YOU HAVE A PROBLEM HERE: if you don't enter a DOMAIN, the configuration wizard doesn't continue IF YOU HAVE LOWER VERSION PLEASE TELL WHETHER YOU HAVE TO SPECIFY A DOMAIN
Click Next > Next > Finished.
Now you can MAYBE [see the DOMAIN problem] sync via WLAN again..
If anyone has an idea how to workaround the MUST-SPECIFY-A-DOMAIN problem please tell, I think I am not the only one who wants WLAN Sync back!
I think you need an exchange server for sync over wifi or gprs.
NO and YES!
YES: Microsoft WANTS that you use an Exchange Server, therefore they have removed support for syncing via WLAN since v4.x
NO: The posted workaround doesn't need an Exchange Server running!! Instead you are "simulating" that you have one. Earlier this Workaround seem to have worked, but since ActiveSync v4.5 it seems you NEED to specify a DOMAIN of your PC.. maybe just another hurd only!
So, the problem again: since you need to specify a DOMAIN of your PC now, is there a possibility to workaround this? Maybe via Registry or setting up a "Pseudo Domain" ? This MUST-HAVE-SPECIFIED-A-DOMAIN seems now to be the only problem, unfortunately you cannot leave the domain field empty.. but the Handheld tries to connect the PC via WLAN (...WOW! Just one step away from the Solution!!?...), but that fails due the DOMAIN problem.. (most PC are only in a workgroup, and not in a domain..)
Maybe we are only one step away from a working solution!
I think only the wizard is changed by MS so that when no
domain is entered you cannot go forward.
ActiveSync can be configured with Configuration Service Provider (CSP)
through XML file.
Infos here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa456215.aspx
I will try this tomorrow with a configuration without domain and let you know
if it works.
Houser
You said it - the setup wizard seems to be the only hurd.
Hey, great idea. Where to find this config file?
I searched for it on PC and PPC, but found only binary files..
Hope you have success!
Here are the maybe suitable Registry Settings for ActiveSync setup, I will try this way:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/En-US/library/aa457989.aspx
Here is a tool I have written to configure ActiveSync Settings
without ActiveSync wizard.
You can test it if you want.
Houser
Thx. I launched your tool and entered IP + Login + Pass, activated e.g. Tasks to synchronize, and deactivated SSL, and clicked Save.
Then I launched ActiveSync on the PPC (Trinity HTC P3600).. now there comes a screen:
Microsoft Exchange:
Result: Your account information could not be detected. Choose configure Server on the ActiveSync menu to check your Exchange Server credentials.
Support Code is: 0x85002009
Hmmm maybe because the domain entry is left empty?
What happens if you enter some characters for the domain?
Houser
If I enter a domain it tries longer to sync on the PPC - instead throwing at once the message above - the circling arrows animates for 3 seconds, then it ends ups with:
Waiting for network..
Hm, maybe the ActiveSync software on the PPC checks for the domain entry But.. maybe this check can be removed
Where is the configuration saved? To a file (which one) or to registry (which branch)?
I do not know where the config is saved. In WM2003 it was in the registry
but in WM5 that was removed and stored in some internal database
I think.
Houser
As you speak German, maybe this could be a workaround for the domain problem:
http://www.weyo.de/board/?n=320745&bn=21
I mean, maybe it's possible to enter a Pseudo Domain in the Registry on the PPC under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\\\Comm\\\\Tcpip\\\\Hosts\\\\
And entering this Pseudo Domain as Domain in the ActiveSync Setup..
But what to enter in the Registry? The branch is currently empty, so no example exists
Hm, here's how to enter the information:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q199370/
ActiveSync uses the domain only for authentication.
The server name (DNS name) or IP is used for the connection.
In the registry you can enter Host names with IP adresses
that has nothing to do with domain name.
ActiveSync uses HTTP oder HTTPS (TCP/IP port 80 or 443) when
you configure a server in ActiveSync.
ActiveSync on your deskstop PC does not listen on this TCP ports
so you cannot connect.
Houser
Hm, any other idea? How crazy whatever..
Today not maybe tomorrow.

So what you are saying is, that there is no way to sync over wifi unless you have an exchange server?

Yes this is the only way I have done it so far.
But may be there is another solution out there to do this
with Outlook on your desktop but I currently do not know
how that can work.
I will do some tests today and let you know about the results.
Houser
I did al the same and no results...
A followed all the steps for my ipaq 9610 as well and get same (no) results.
Maybe anyone a new idea?
Ok i know i already saw the answer of this somewhere but i already looked for it and i just cant find it.
I have a athena and i would like to remotely connect to my pc that is on my office and use it remotely, i know there are programs to do this i just cant get the right words to find them.
can anyone help me out on this?
thankx
** make sure that you have windows xp pro**
1. download this file onto your pda and run it.
2. make sure that if you are using a router the you open up port 3389... it has to be this port and no other
3. on your desktop goto start/settings/control panel/system/remote and click the box that says "allow users to connect remotely to this computer", that is it you don't need to click anything else
4. open up the program and type in your ip address without the port number then username and password - which must match your windows login and password.

All good advice but this may not work if your office PC is behind a firewall / your office network uses Network Address Translation or you need a VPN to access the network. Give it a go and see what happens but if the IP address of your office PC starts 10.0.0 or 192.168 or similar, it is unlikely to work. You will then have to use a remote access service.

Also if your IP's range anywhere within 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255, the you're behind a firewall.

If you're just using 3G/HSDPA you shouldn't have any problems connecting.
If you've got a DSL connection with a dynamic IP address (like mine with Virgin Media) Just register and download the NO-IP software (www.no-ip.com - it's free) then instead of typing in your Ip address on RD you'll put "....no-ip.biz" - or whatever they assign you.
As already stated you HAVE to open up port 3389 on your router and assign it to the relevant pc. This number you will find by entering "ipconfig" in the cmd window. Be aware that if your router gets turned off you could find that the IP address of your computer changes, so you'll have to go back into your router settings and change it to the new ip address for that pc.
I've tested RDP on XP Pro, Media Center 2005 and Vista. I found it to be a little better when the host was a Vista pc - whether this is my imagination or because it is designed with Vista in mind I don't know.

Of course, this only applies if you are not behind a corporate firewall using NAT or other dynamic IP behind the firewall. Also, if it is a corporate network, opening port 3389 may be (a) very difficult to convince your IT dept to do and (b) not very secure!
If one iof the dynamic dns systems works for you, you might try dyndns.org
any detailed how to guide?, i can do it, i'm fairly tech savvy, so i just need to kneed out a few things. maybe if you caould start from the beginning and i can see where i went wrong.
logmein.com works, but i want something more personal, just bewtween the computer and my phone. somerthing that looks good and scales full screen preferably.
please guys?, point me in the right direction.. all the posts just keep saying to search and there's lots of info, but there's no step by step guide.
thanks guys!
ok i got it going.
first go to the computer you want to connect to and go to control panel / system
click on remote, enable remote users
go to start menu, run. type cmd
in command write "ipconfig /all"
take note of your ip address
on your phone go to remote desktop,
computer = your ip address
username = (go to startmenu, control panel, user accounts) use one of those names.
password = blank unless you have a password.
domain = i left blank.
connect full color unless it doesnt work for you
if you can connect and you get a password error
type the error you get inot google and you should get a fix as your first link.
try that.
blam, remote desktop, it's awesome.
Nice how-to...
this is the most succinct tutorial on how to do this that I've seen. I'm still having trouble, though. I get the "Cannot connect. Likely reason are: 1 the remote comupter is not set up for this. 2. Reached the maximum number of connections. 3. A network error occurred while connecting."
I have set up the XP PC, & taken down all firewalls. I only have one user account and it has a password. I've even tried using Hamachi with one of their VPN ip addresses (awesome and free for pc2pc). I 've combed trhough my router settings too, and tried to clear everything there, too. I can RD from an XP laptop, so ti seems to be something on the unit, to me. I've also setup file sharing w/ Total Commander (it's served my purposes amply).
I really have googled & googled & googled. If anyone has any idea what is going on, I'd be grateful for some ideas.
Have you enabled the RDP on the host computer?
Right click my computer
Properties
Remote
Then enable allow user to connect remotely.
Will only work on XP Pro, or Vista if you choose to allow older clients which they scaremonger you against by saying it's less secure.
Danke!
I've been scared away from Vista for the usual "new" OS reasons, but perhaps it's getting to be time for me to haul my old conservative back-end into the modern world.
Thanks so much for taking the time!
(and to Biohead: yes, I followed the instructions I lauded so vehemently.... ???)
you're running vista?
and you haven't been able to connect still, right?
sorry i could walk you through xp, but man vista sucks, i wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.
i'm setting up remote desktop on my iphone
hahaha totally referred to this guide
and it sucks, so i'm sticking with vnc
man, i miss my exec/universal

you, my friend, are awesome
A possible solution for those of us on T-Mobile's standard web n walk
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I thought I'd post my experiences here in case anyone else (like me) searches for a solution to enabling RDP on T-Mobile (UK at least).
I was having the same problem with remote desktop, it saying that the server was not available. I phoned up T-Mobile's helpdesk as recommended here and after getting past first line support (who didn't know what remote desktop was, and tried sending new connection settings to my phone to resolve the issue) I got through to someone who knew what they were talking about. Turns out that I'm on T-Mobile's "basic" or "handset-only" web-n-walk package, and it's not possible to use RDP on this. I assume they block the relevant ports. They told me that I could pay an extra fiver a month to upgrade to a version of web-n-walk which can handle RDP.
Well I told them I would think about it, but instead tried to find a way around it as the one or two times I need to use RDP are certainly not worth a fiver a month. My solution is probably only suitable for the more techy of us, but without much work and with no prior experience I managed to set up a SSH tunnel using FreeSSHd as a server running on my windows server (although a normal windows box should work fine - http://www.freesshd.com/) and zaTunnel as a client on my phone (http://www.zatelnet.com/zatunnel/main.php). Both programs are free.
Basically my phone takes all RDP connections and tunnels them over SSH to my windows server, which then turns them back into RDP connections. T-Mobile have no idea I'm using RDP, and if they block the SSH port in the future I can always change FreeSSHd to run on port 80 (for web). This will also work for other protocols T-Mobile might be blocking (FTP springs to mind).
Just thought I'd post this in case anyone was in my situation of needing RDP on their standard web'n'walk.
Edit Sorry posted this in the wrong thread! Will leave this post up however just in case someone finds it useful
echolock
Many thanks for the above have been searching everywhere for a fix to this. I am the same as you T Mobile (UK) and can't connect.
Could you give some additional advice as how you got the RDP to work.
For the record I can connect by Wi-Fi and by using a PAYG sim from a different carrier. However, I am on a contract with T Mobile and don't want to carry a different sim just to use the RDP.
I have installed both apps. I can make a connection from zaTunnel on Port SSH:24 to the freeSSHD server (SSH - listening on port 24). Other than adding a User and changing the default port to 24 there are no other changes I have made in freeSSHD.
Under the connections tab in zaTunnel I have left Network: Automatic with the other settings relevant to make a connection.
Under the ports tab of zaTunnel I have
LP> 3389,
IP/URL . IP of the desktop I want to connect to of 192.168.1.10
>RP 3389
When I the start the Remote Desktop app under my Windows Mobile 6.1 it indicates connecting the fails as before.
Also forgot to mention freeSSHD is running on the desktop I want to connect to.
Sure thing.
When you run Remote Desktop under Windows Mobile, make sure you connect to "localhost" NOT to the IP of the desktop you want to connect to.
Your other settings seem correct to me.
To attempt to explain a little, basically what happens is as follows. For simplicity's sake I will have three machines, your phone, your SSH server and your RDP server (although the latter two can be the same).
On your phone:
1) Remote Desktop connects to localhost on port 3389.
2) zaTunnel is listening on localhost on port 3389. It echos all commands sent to this port out on port 22 over your cellular connection to your SSH server, also providing details of your RDP server and port.
On your SSH server:
3) FreeSSHd receives the commands sent over port 22 and is told by zaTunnel to convert them to commands sent to your RDP server using port 3389.
On your RDP server:
4) Remote Desktop receives a normal RDP request over the normal port from your SSH server.
5) Responses are sent to your SSH server.
On your SSH server:
6) FreeSSHd receives the RDP responses, and sends them back to your phone over port 22.
On your phone:
7) zaTunnel converts the commands sent over port 22 back into RDP commands sent over port 3389.
8) Remote desktop receives a response from zaTunnel and thinks it's connected directly to an RDP server on localhost. In actuality it's connected to your RDP server using an SSH tunnel provided by zaTunnel and FreeSSHd.
Hope this makes sense, I'm not very good at explaining this!
Ah found another problem. The IP of your desktop you say is 192.168.1.10 - this is a local IP address so will only work on your local network.
Go to a website like http://whatismyipaddress.com/ from the machine you run SSHd on to find out what your current "external" IP address is. Bear in mind that most home broadband connections have a "dynamic" address which is allocated to you and might change from time to time - you can always use something like http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/ to set yourself up with a static hostname, and run a program on your machine which updates your hostname with the correct IP address every time it changes. Some routers have this functionality built in.
Thanks for the quick response and explanation.
Between posting and reading your reply I had worked out the RDP app needs the localhost or the IP 127.0.0.1.
I had come back here to post, so others would know in future.
Your other point you raised about the desktop IP. I have used this only in the ports tab on zaTunnel. The connection tab has a proper mydomainname.com address. (Provides email and a webmail interface).
Anyway, can connect now and thank you again in solving this for me. (If your in Leeds I will buy you a beer).
Ah yeah the 192.* address would work on the ports tab, fair enough. Might be worth pointing out if others read this that this is only the case if the machine you're trying to RDP to is on the same local network (or the same machine) as the machine you have FreeSSHd running on.
But good to hear you got it working Now hopefully T-Mobile won't cotton-on and decide to block port 22 too...
Is there such a thing?
Im using unlimited internet plan for port 80 which means i can surf over the net for html pages with no additional charge.
Now my question is if theres a messenger that uses that port so i dont must wifi or data plan to use it?
Thanks.
eran.
im not sure but you could try ebuddy, or any other html based messenger
if you have access to a vpn, ssh-server or a proxy server you can tunnel your connection through them which is supported by almost every mobile messenger client.
hi,
use open vpn, a good solution to create and use a tunnel via your pc connection, than your pc will be the server that you can connect on with your 3g+ connection.
i tried that today with success, and used msn messenger and push mail, all with my wap Sfr connection, that use the port 80.
use google for research, and send a message if you need help....i'll try even if my english is not perfect....but think i can help.

you can use a simple ssh server for tunneling, too. that's more simple than the configuration of a whole vpn.
First you have to have con trol over such a server (I use a vserver of mine), than have the server listen on not only the ssh port but also a http one(if you have a webserver too running in the ssh server host, you maybe can't useport 80, but luckily my provider has also port 8080 open, because it is often used for http proxies).
now download pocketputty from the internet.
in the session tab enter yout servers ip and choose ssh, but change the port to 8080.
now go to the tunnel tab (as there are many tabs, maybe you cant see it at first, but it's there).
now you enter a free port on your mobile in the source field (I use 50 for example), the destination is the ip of your ssh server, and check dynamic. now click add.
then change back to the session tab, give you settings a name in the field stored sessions and klick save.
now the settings are stored and you can start the connection by double klicken on the name of your session that is now listed unter (Default Settings) in the sessions list.
The ssh connection will open and you will to have to log you into the ssh server, with a user (the name is not important, and it needn't to be the super user ;-) ), that has a shell.
when you're logged in open your mobile icq client. now go to the proxy settings of it and choose socks as proxy server type, the proxy address is localhost and the port the one you chose in the source field in the ppcoektputty tunnel tab. (so putty is your local socks proxy server).
now you should be able to connect thorugh the ssh tunnel to icq.
if you use your mobile sionmetimes as modem for a laptop, the trick works very similiar with the normal putty and a non mobile windows ;-)

I really got lost...
I couldnt find application for ssh server which i understand how to work with..
i wouldnt mind some help...
first you need a server in the internet for that, because you need an endpoint for the ssh connection.
as i said i have a linux server under my control. if you don't have an internet server or access to one with a ssh account, which I doubt reading your post, this solution isn't maybe the best for you, because have such a server costs about 8-10 euro or dollars a month, and as I need it for other things to, this costs are ok for me.
an alternative maybe would be an vpn account by a vpn provider which costs less, but then the way to get it to work is a bit differnet.
I just thought I could set up such a server on my own computer...if possible.
I did understand i can do that, but i didnt understand how
Nevermind, I will try other solutions..
thanks
hmm, this would be possible, but your computer would have to be reachable under a fest address from the internet (which oculd be done using dyndns). Are you using windows or linux in your machine?
Usually my computer is online all the time, so it wouldnt be a problem
And using a dynamic hostname with dyndns is what I thought about at first place.
my pc is running windows

I used that guide and Im not sure about the last stage, when creating the client.ovpn file,
in the line 'remote' - i leave it xx.xx.xx.xx ? They didnt mention different...
And after that, How do I config the vpn connection on my mobile? I need a step by step in this stage because I dont want extra-charging....

instead of XX.xx.xx.xx you must fill your internet IP thaht you can see here http://www.ip-adress.com/, and may be you have to change port to 443 instead of 80 in config files....that works with me,dont forget port forwarding in your router if you have one, mens you have to redirect incoming connection on port 80, and 443 to the pc that have openvpn.
but first of all you have to make your server work on the pc, some times you have to kill openvpn activites making CTRL+ALT+Del, to make open vpn GUi work and the vpn connect....see for next episode.
Ok,
im kind of stuck again....
I configured the vpn program and did everything by the guide,
Now i need to add a vpn connection to my regular 3g settings?
I did that, with my IP address, and it asks for user and password
i assumed its tcp-client like in the config file,
and password one of the keys in key.txt file..
but it doesnt work.
or i didnt do it right.

So, when you launch open vpn on your PC, with the GUI (the incon of open vpn on the bureau), do you have the little yellow incon down right your pc screen and a message of connection success....you must first of all secceed to make your vpn work...after for the pocket pc its really nothing.....
PS: the client config must be in the config folder of your ppc with the key....personnally i made a copy of the key in the base folder of the device cause sometimes the key is not detected in the config folder.
and important to set your connection on "my work network" not wap in the avanced connections configuration.....but tell you make a seccessful vpn connection first and for the ppc its will be a joke...

I found and installed open vpn for ppc,
its a bit annoying it cant run on a window and that its running on the background screen, meaning my touchflow (im using htc diamond) is hiding it, so i need to disable the touchflow when i need to configure the app.
(maybe solutions?)
now i need to copy the configuration files and the key file i have in the config folder of the computer to the ppc folder?
And what next?

THIS IS NOT COMPLETE....
My intention of this thread is to provide what I have done so far to try and get this working. After I can get it all working I will work on a user interface for Windows.
I have dyndns and PicMe setup on my phone I am able to connect to my phone with PicMe by typing http:\\my-hero.kicks-ass.org into my address bar. The reason for it is that Sprint will change your IP address and everytime you wanted to access your phone you would have to type in the IP address that you currently have. Now all you have to do is remember one addess.
After installing these 2 programs I created a shortcut to both of them on one of my homescreens so that I can easily disable them as they will both eat up your battery.
There is a VNC binary for Android, but the kernel for our phone needs to be modified and additional libs need to be added for it to work properly. I am looking into this so you would not need to install an app for it to work.
SETUP DYNDNS
This will allow you to specify an address that you can remember and your phone will then update the online server to your current IP address
--How to set it up--
1) Go to http://www.dyndns.com
2) If you have an account log in, if not click here
3) Once you verify your email, log in to the site and under My Services there should be a sub category named my hosts. Click on my hosts and click on Add New Host.
4) Setup a Hostname-This can be whatever name you want as you will type this in instead of the phones IP address. Also choose a domain name (example: My-Hero.kicks-ass.org)
Keep Service Type as Offline hostnames
Ip Address can be left blank
Select remote file access as What you will use this host for
Click on ADD TO CART
Click NEXT
Click Activate Services
5) Now on your phone download dyndns from the market
6) Once its done open it up and got settings and change all of these
Update domain: members.dyndns.org (once you start typing it should let you select it
Hostname: Type in the full hostname you created (my-hero.kicks-ass.org)
Username:What you used to setup your account
Password:The password you used when setting it up
You can leave the bottom 2 unchecked if you want
7) Press your back button and click Start. After a couple of seconds it should detect your IP address and display under Status. If not make sure everythings is typed just as it was when you set it up on the website.
8) I created a shortcut to this app on my homescreen so that i can easily access it to turn it off and on as it will update the server and will reduce your battery life.
To test it out...
Download PicMe from the market and once installed open it up and Click Accept. It should then start trying to connect to its server. Mine connects and then close the app, but it is still running.
Now back on your computer open up whatever browser you use and type in http:\\xxxxxxxxx-where this is the hostname you created. You must type http:\\ for it to connect using PicMe. On the right side of your browser window should be 3 options (Static, Live, Live standalone) Click on Live and give it a couple of seconds. In order to use this, your phone can not be sleeping.
I am working on getting ftp to work though my 3g connection, but have not been able to yet.
I have tried swiFTP and FTP Server. It connects to my phone, but then gives an error right before it fully connects to allow file transfers.I am looking for someone to help out if they know anything about this.

This looks awesome! Nice work, I'll have to try it
