[WINXP] Windows CE to XP remote desktop over ad-hoc

monkey51289 · 7th August 2012, 7:54 PM

Hi all,
I am currently setting up a system with 2 computers: 1, a Panasonic tough-book cf-29 with XP SP3 2, a Panasonic tough-book cf-08 tablet running windows CE 5.

Basically I want to remote desktop from the tablet to the laptop over wireless. The network will be an ad-hoc hosted by the tablet (or laptop, whatever works) however I am having 2 main issues so far:

1. While windows says I'm connected, neither device can ping each other (ip addresses are locked) tablet returns error 11010 and XP times out.

2. Remote desktop fails with error: A network error has been encountered. Please try connecting to your remote computer again.

The remote connection details are: XP's IP address under computer, "Brian" (as the user of XP) in username and his password in password. Domain is left blank.

Any help on these issues is greatly appreciated,
thanks in advance,
Josh.

how have you set the ip addresses on the devices?

are they in the same subnet?

In XP, right clicking on wireless adapter, properties of tcp/ip, put in IP address

Windows CE: under the adapter settings I changed it from DHCP to a manually written one.

I'm pretty sure they are in the same sub net, the windows CE is hosting and it has 255.255.255.0 as sub net as does the XP connection.

Windows Firewall on the XP device? Or worse, a 3rd party firewall? Try turning any firewalls off.
