  1. This is a useful app. BUT it’s a pity that there is no password protection when connecting by external tcp/ip : everyone can access to your PC when port is open !!!

    This is not mentionned, and there is no option to close this opended door.

    This has to be changed very fast.

  3. The window of the rDesktop appears at bottom right corner of PC´s screen. Installing it on my Netbook (1024×600), it goes beyond the edge of the monitor and I can´t read the IP or even see the window to move it to sincronize the Smartphone. I also instaled it in another 2 computer, a desktop and a notebook. There I moved the window then could read the IP and it works like a charm; is the best samsumg app ever, but this bug must be solved. If possible, give me a solution so I can use it on my Netbook as well. Tanks!
