Remote Control via TeamViewer on a Google Compute VM Instance - google-compute-engine

I am running a Windows Server VM Instace on Google Compute Services... I can access the instace via the "Windows Remote Desktop" no problem... I could install Team Viewer on the instance...
Because of Firewall issues I cannot run "Windows Remote Desktop" from my desktop to access that VM (google compute) Instance... Reason of why I installed Team Viewer on that VM instance...
The funny thing is that I can access that VM instance through Team Viewer Only, as long as it is connected through "Windows Remote Desktop" to a separate 3rd computer... (4G internet outside the firewall --of desktop trying to access the VM Instace through Team Viewer--).
Even if I minimize the "Windows Remote Desktop"on my laptop it will cut the connection through TeamViewer between the VM cloud instance and my Desktop computer...
Any help or ideas in there? It seems that either Team Viewer isn't able to start or somehow either the VM Windows Server screen only runs when the "Windows Remote Desktop" is running....
As I get this message:
"The screen cannot be captured at the moment. This is probably due to fast user switching or a disconnected/minimized Remote Desktop Session."
I did a complete version installation of TeamViewer as administrator, running on a Windows Server on google compute VM.
Hopefully someone out there can help me! I don't know if it may be part of the Google Compute Services Instance settings so as to limit the remote desktop only to the native "Windows Remote Desktop" program... Or perhaps a setting were since it's a VM the screen is de-activated when the "Windows Remote Desktop" program is off or minimized etc...??
My main problem is having TeamViewer work without having to initiate the native Windows RDP... In order for TeamViewer do it's job and take its place... as in the place where I am located (my desktop computer) the firewall blocks Windows RDP but does not block TeamViewer's.
I tried changing the listening port to different numbers....
According to the instructions here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306759 and here:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304304/
Unfortunately.. when I changed it and then rebooted the Win Server 2008 VM, and checked to see if it made the change... I noticed it goes back to be on the same port again.... (of course to connect I had to do it through the original port)...
So it changes it but on rebooting it goes back to be on the same port again... I don't know if it's either because the new port was being used or there is a policy somewhere directing it always to the original port again...
I enabled those ports also to work for RDP in the Google Compute Instance interface, but still it made no difference...
It doesn't seem TeamViewer has a setting to change the port it connects with etc...
Hopefully I can find someone knowing about this issue.... The AWS instance used to work fine with LogMe In at the time.... I may end up using AWS (Amazon Web Services) again as Google Compute Srvs. won't do the job... but it's much cheaper than the AWS isntance... Thanks for helping...

In my case it happened due to slower network speed on the other side, of which I intend to take session.

How to view a dash app created on a Ubuntu server without GUI (a VM instance in gcp)

I have an R script that uses Plotly Dash to create a web page. I am running the script on a VM instance in GCP which is a Ubuntu server without GUI. When the script is executed, it says,
start 127.0.0.1:8050
My question is how to access this web page on a browser from anywhere. Since the VM doesnt have a gui/browser I cannot even test my web page..
Anyone could explain what I am missing here or any way to deploy my web page and access from anywhere?
I am unsure how your application works, but that ending line shows that the server is running on localhost and on which port is it serving. So you may want to access from an external browser with the instance's ip address: like http:// xx.xxx.xx.xx:8050 and let's see if it works. Otherwise you may need to set up a Remote Desktop Setup through Chrome to enable a GUI interface on the VM.
Also remember to make sure that traffic is allowed on that port 8050 checking /creating the firewall rules
I encountered the same problem. You need to change the IP address on which the dash server is running to the internal IP address of your gcp VM instance. It usually starts with 10.xxx.x.x. You can find this internal address in the 'IP address' tab in the VPC networks section on the google cloud console. So do this:
app.run_server(host='10.xxx.x.x', port='8050')
Open a browser and browse to http://externalip:8050. Make sure you have your firewall rules set up correctly.
You should now be able to see the dash app.

Remote Debugging won't connect

I sort of make shift followed this guide on how to setup remote debugging. Since I am using Adobe Animate to compile my app I assume it has done the majority of the build steps already as I get a similar screen described.
I don't understand though. Here I have port forwarding up on my router so that it goes to my PC. I have TCP port 7935 up and open. Windows firewall on or off doesn't seem to make difference. Windows firewall even prompted me to allow or deny fdb after I ran it. I can't get my phone to connect via remote debugging. I want to be able to send this to my client who is having issue with the app so I can see what's going on under the hood instead of relying on a giant sum of try/catch statements and screenshots. Any help?
I tried a dummy domain and it seems to know that it can't connect to it. When I try mine or my IPv4 it doesn't let me connect. It just freezes up the app.
I don't know whether it works or not in Animate CC, but it works via Flash Builder. I'm using Android real device and I have Android SDK tools installed on my PC
Yes, I have followed that tuts from official Adobe docs, but that doesn't work
First: Simply connect your device to your PC
Actually , you can debug your app remotely as long as your device has been connected with your PC. This step, doesn't necessarily requires FDB.
In my case , all I need was things like
adb connect 192.168.xx.xx:port
this will connect your Android device with your PC on your default network .
Second, set debug setting over network
You've done it in Animate CC, with addition you might want to check "install application on the connected device'
Third, just debug as usual
You can get all those debugging stuff including traces

Google Earth Enterprise Portal 5.0 Accessible via localhost only

Good Morning. I have downloaded and installed GE Enterprise portal v5. When I start the application, it automatically launches the browser and sends me to http://localhost:9335. It loads just fine and I am able to view the image and polygon. I then close the server and open the portable.cfg and added the following line: accept_all_requests True, which us supposed to allow others to view and use the published globes and services from other machines. I then restart the application. When I try and navigate to my portal instance via another machine or via the named machine name http://9335 I get page not found. I have tried changing the ports, disabling my local firewall and HIPs with no luck. Are you supposed to be able to hit an instance of portal from a url other than localhost?
Thanks.

Chrome Remote Desktop on Windows 2012R2 Virtual Machine at Google Compute Engine

I have a Windows 2012R2 instance running at GCE and successfully can log in via "Chrome RDP", a Chrome RDP client that is launched by the Developer Console if you click on RDP. I also used the "Chrome RDP" Chrome Web Store App via an ssh tunnel to a linux instance in the same project and network.
I then installed Google Chrome and set up access via "Chrome Remote Desktop", but when I access the box, the screen is just a big black square. I think this is all related to the fact that there is no "Display Adapter" section in the "Device Manager".
I'm hoping someone could tell me what the requirements are to run "Chrome Remote Desktop" on a virtual machine with no monitor installed that has no "Display Adapter" drivers.
I wasn't able to reproduce the issue as I was able to remote into my VM using the "Chrome Remote Desktop". The only thing I could think of is that you might need to update Chrome and Remote Desktop App.
Another thing to try is to create a new Windows 2012R2 instance and see if you can use the Chrome Remote Desktop to log into it before making any changes to the instance.

Windows Phone 8 Emulator Deployment Issue with Internet

I am facing an issue with windows 8 phone emulator.
Windows Phone emulator wasnt able to connect to Windows Phone
operating system. Phone didnt respond to connect request
This is the error that I get. When the emulator starts with internet but my application doesnot deploy. The ip that gets assigned is 192.168.137.1. Previously it worked fine,
but then suddenly it started giving this issue.
Below is the list of troubleshooting that I have performed:
169.254.xxx.xxx address set to internal emulator via dhcp, Application deployed successfully with NO internet connection
Have tried MAC address spoofing but nothing works when I use these settings.
Have changed External Virtual Switch in Sharing mode this starts the internet with ip 192.168.137.1 but application doesnot deploy
In debugger errors shown are:
Invalid pointer error
App deployment failed
Have tried Network bridging but still it doesnt work.
Created all settings manually including the internal switch and external swithch. But same issue faced when it gets 192.168.137.1 ip then internet works but application doesnt deploy.
And when it gets 169.254.xxx.xxx ip series application deploys but no internet connection.
No firewall are turned on or no antivirus is blocking any connections.
Wireless router used for network connectivity, still not successfully
Have also tried clean installation of everything but still no go.
Need help with this issue as I have been trying to get it resolved since a week.
This issue is not faced if installation is done on the same pc through a virtual machine.
What I did was :
Have allotted 4gb ram, 60gb hdd & 4 cores to the VM.
1)I installed a virtual machine with default settings.
2)Then I stopped your virtual machine (shut Windows 8 down, DO NOT suspend it).
3)At the VMWare Virtual Machine list, right click Windows 8 machine then click "Show in Finder".
4)Right click the file then click "Show package contents", then find and open with a text editor a file with the extension .vmx
5)Go till the end of the file and add this two lines (first check whether they were previously added):
hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = "FALSE"
vhv.enable = "TRUE"
6)At the VMWare Virtual Machine list, right click Windows 8, click "Preferences" then "Advanced". Choose "Intel VT-X with EPT" as "Preferred virtualization engine".
And then when I started the windows in the virtual machine it seems to be working fine without any additional setting change. However it is still not running on a physical machine
I recommend if someone is facing a similar issue then to use a Virtual Machine till this kind of issue is resolved.
Struggling with the same problem for 3 days I finally solved my issue by disabling windows firewall for "Guest or public network". I have yet to figure out what application/service to allow through so I can re-enable it.
