Thread: VPN required for terminal services client?

I think you'll need a tcp-ip connnection between server and client at least.
Haven't used it on PDA's, so I don't know how that works, sorry

If you have an ad-hoc connection over wireless to you pc, both pc and pda should have an ip-address (something private like 192.168.?.? or 10.?.?.?). You then should be able to connect to the ip-address of the pc without problems...

just to make sure I understand this correctly....what you are saying is that I need to get the ip of the carpc? that since it's ad-hoc it should assign it's self an ip automatically...just check this with start -> run -> 'cmd' -> ipconfig ? Then when I get that IP, just enter that in the PDA when it asks for the IP under the VPN connection?

Well, you could use a static IP in both. Just like you'd set up two machines w/ a crossover.

Set the CarPc's IP to something like

ip:192.168.1.110 gateway:255.255.255.0 then w/ your PDA try and connect to 192.168.1.110

Good luck, great idea.

just make sure you set your PDA to 192.168.1.109 or 111

ok so I have the ip on the car as: 192.168.1.106

when I enter this into the vpn stuff on the pda, it still doesn't work.

before I didn't have a passwordset forteh administrator on xp, I remember that in order to connect remotely to the computer in xp you have to have a password set...so i set one, it didn't require me to do a reboot. but heres myproblem, I don't want to have to enter in he password every time I start up the car, isn't there a box somewhre that I an check to diable that?? or is that just a nlite thing??

sorry for the badtyping, in car right now...lol

ok - so in pocket pc 2003, how do you set the ip??? lol

something does not sound right about having to have a VPN to connect using remote desktop you should just enter the IP address of the remote desktop computer and connect.
