This article was written in 2010 and became defunct. I have not deleted it as I still use the product and that use is increasing. I may create an RDP page as I don’t expect to need this and the RDP integration with today’s W10 is much better. The article looks at using an ipodtouch to connect to a Windows 7 PC.<\/p>\n

2010<\/h3>\n

At some point Virtual Box came with RDP as part of the set up and its allegedly faster than VNC. I want to connect my ipodtouch to my PC’s using Mocha’s RDP Lite<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Problem<\/h4>\n

I have a windows 7 beta VM. (See my blog<\/a>.) Initially I couldn’t connect using Ipod or the Alienware.<\/p>\n

I am now connected using the Alienware and the Microsoft client. The Host is XP Home Edition, SP\/3 with a W7 VM hosted in VB 2.2.4, networking = bridged, port = !3389, with the NULL authentication libraries. NB the port is not<\/b> available on the internet. It does not work with external authentication, and the manual suggests that guest is experimental.<\/p>\n

Perry says I need to have the VRDPAuth.dll library in a folder that is pointed to by the %PATH variable. This page<\/a> at computerhope.com explains how to do it.<\/p>\n

I don’t know if port 3389 will work or not because of the order of the testing, but the Mochasoft Client is still not working. They have a FAQ<\/a>. I can’t get it to work on the EDGE either. Mochasoft suggest an incompatibility or a firewall as the problem. So<\/p>\n
