ok, got it to work, sort of. When I run VR Zune.exe The message on my Zune screen "Connected to one client" starts going on and off. Does that mean my connection is unstable or what?
disable your computers firewall or make an exception for it.
I could see this being used to control games on your computer...
Like, your zHD is the controller.
Maybe a racing game that's controlled like Mario Kart Wii...
I can't seem to get this to work. Ive turned off my firewalls, its seems to be fine on the zune, but the software tries to connect 3 times and says press enter to exit (lol thats ironic)

If you have extra network adapters, try disabling them.

It doesn't work for me, my PC and Zune are on the same network,my PC had no active firewall, My Zune and PC were the only two devices on my network. I tried using the XNA version but it wouldn't open.

So, Whats wrong with it!?
Did you try disabling all of your network adapters except for the one that is connected to the network?
This is really cool, except I ran the app while my wireless was turned off and it forgot my 61 character long passphrase.
After retyping it and making sure my wireless was ON first, it worked pretty well. Cool app man.
As someone else suggested, an airmouse app would be great! (If it ran on linux, that is. My media PC runs Fedora.)
That is possible. As it is, VR Zune could probably be ported to Linux with minor modifications. It uses SDL, which supports Linux, and Winsock has an equivilant on Linux. As much as I do not like Linux, I might port it some day for the experience.

Yes, I would be so delighted if you did. I recently fell in love with Ubuntu again so I installed and plan to have it for at least another year.
Hi i am having the same problem as someone else.. once i try to run the VR Zune.exe it says VR Zune has stopped working, windows is checking for a problem. please help me..

I added two extra modes that will hopefully fix your issue. Try running "PC underpowered.bat", and if that does not work, run "PC sucks.bat".
First off I'd like to make a suggestion. Make sure Wireless Sync for the Zune works before you try this app, as an easy way to test the connectivity to that paticular computer.
Secondly. I have a really odd problem. Wireless sync works just fine (so I know the network is configured correctly), and even after disabling my firewall, this app still doesn't seem to work. I just get stuck on the "Hosting on port: 50000" I tryed the XNA deploy method and that worked fine, but I'd like to get it to work wirelessly.
EDIT: I think I found the source of the problem. After starting this app (and failing to succesfully use it, then closing it), I can no longer connect to the internet on my zune. I think Open ZDK changes the handleling if network activity. Even after dissconnecting and attempting to reconnect, I couldn't connect access the internet or even LAN, until I restart it. I think as soon as I launch the app, I comprimise the ability to connect to the network. However, others seem to get it to work just fine, so it may have something to do with my router. I'll attempt to investigate further.
EDIT2: I FOUND A GOOD SOLUTION
OK. This is a good one. This should work for those having problems even after configuring the firewall.
As I mentioned earlier, first make sure you can wirelessly sync to the Zune software. This is the best way to make sure that this app can work. (Note: I opened ports 49000-50000, 1900, 2869 in my firewall. The last two should automatically be opened when you enable wireless sync, but I found, that the Zune's wireless,as well as this app uses UDP ports 49000-50000, which have to be opened manually)
Here is the secret:
You must find your Zune's IP address. There are many method's to do this, such as looking at the devices displayed on your router. The method I used is after connecting for wireless sync I went into device manager and click on "Portable Devices" and right clicked on my zune's name and the IP address was displayed next to Location. (Note: that method only works while using wireless sync) In case you aren't familiar with IP addresses its a series of numbers that looks something like this 192.168.1.65 (that is my zune's IP. it WILL be different for yours. Also, note that this method will provide a 5 digit port number a colen. which you can disreguard)
once you identify your IP address open Command Prompt.
Once it opens type
ping [IPADDRESS HERE] -t
(replace [IPADDRESS HERE] with your zune's Ip address)
for example I entered
ping 192.168.1.65 -t
press enter
for now just leave it opened
Now on your zune go to Settings>Wireless>Networks.
If you are already connect to a network disconnet and turn off your wireless. Even if its the same network your computer is on.
Now turn wireless back on (for a fresh start) and connect to the network the desired computer is on. At this point you should start getting replies from the zune. This will continue to ping your zune to make sure it deosn't easily leave the network. (make sure you start getting replies, if not you may have to restart your zune and reconnect the the network)
A succesful ping looks like this:
Reply from 192.168.1.65: bytes=32 time=78ms TTL=128
Unsuccesful looks like this:
Reply from 192.168.1.65: Destination host unreachable.
After your confirm it is successfull, open the VR app on your zune and make sure it gets to "Hosting on port: 50000". (leave the black window on your computer open)
Navigate to the folder named PC that came with the app and double click "VR Zune.exe" and wait for it to conncect. (you may have to try more than once)
Note that files PC Underpowered and PC sucks are included, so if your computer matched either description double click that file instead.
If you did everything right it should work now.
