From: Jordan on 4 Jun 2008 15:35 I have the Motorola Q based on WM5. I have setup a VPN connection to work. Using Active Sync over the air to get my mail and sync contacts works fine. I had tried to access some web based programs on servers at work but I could not until I found out that I could add the host name and IPs to the registry by adding keys and values to HKLM\Comm\TCPIP\Hosts. Now I can use IE to access web based content for every HOST name <-> IP Address I have entered into the registry on my Q. Even VNC client works fine and when I tell it I want to connect to SERVER1 or SERVER2 it fires up the VPN work connection and I am all set. I am now trying out a couple of other programs called Mobile Desktop and TS Mobiles which are programs that will connect to a Windows Terminal Server using the RDP like client. I can connect to my external Terminal Servers, but when I try to connect to internal servers and clients I get errors from both programs telling me that they cannot connect to the computer and the error message does clearly show that it is trying to reach the computer by the proper internal IP address (When that computers address is entered into the Q's registry as above). Does the program have to have its own intelligence to know that since it can't resolve that IP address (192.168.x.x), it should attempt to fire up the VPN like IE and VNC appear to do? If not, is there a way I can force the phone to connect to work before I fire up the program? |
