Can't connect through auto-discovery on Vista-32 bit

i saw that solution for another similar problem on the forum and tried it but still it didnt work.

Please try next steps:
1) in PocketCloud Settings log out from Auto Discovery
2) on your PC log out from PocketCloud Windows Companion Google account and re-login again
3) Re-launch PocketCloud app on the device
4) Login in Auto Discovery again
5) Try to connect to the machine

i was using autodiscovery. i thought that didnt use either of those...?

Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit

yes remove access is set to allow "allow connections from computers running any version of remote desktop"

i have finally connected using VNC. i just thought with the google setup i wouldnt have to install anything

If you are using Vista Home Edition you will need to install TightVNC 2.0.2 as well from http://www.tightvnc.com/download.php.
Use Self-installing package for Windows.

ahh and that workd through wifi on my home network but is not working through 3G

Please let us know what Vista edition you are using on your PC. It will help us a lot.

Also please check if "Allow Remote Access" check box is checked on your PC.

Control Panel > System > Allow Remote Access.

Thanks

i dont quite understand. i thought that the whole point of using the google method was that you didnt have to bother with vnc or rdp?

got it! sweet!

a bit of a feature request. itd be nice to have an option to simply browse your hard drive i.e. a remote windows explorer  but i can see my desktop. nice!

Are you trying to connect to your Home PC or Work PC?


Could you please check Windows Companion Settings.

Right click on Windows Companion icon > Auto Discovery Settings > Options

Check VNC Port. It should be 5900. Then run test. Click TEST button.

Try to connect again via 3G

Let me know if it works.

Please try these steps using 3G:

1) in PocketCloud Settings log out from Auto Discovery Google account
2) on your PC log out and re-login again from PocketCloud Windows Companion Google account
3) Re-launch PocketCloud app on the device
4) Login in Auto Discovery again
5) Try to connect to the machine
