Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

If your server is virtualized via kvm you can easily use kvms buildin vnc server as remote access engine. Of course you need access to the kvm server.
OTOH you can use rdesktop to connect to every windows from XP to Server 2008 R2, but with standard license there is only one live session at the same time allowed. Somewhere in the system control panel (or server manager) you have to allow remote access.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

You can use vnc to log into a windows system, but you have to have a version VNC server installed and running the server. I prefer TightVNC (http://www.tightvnc.com) as GPL licensed and has nice features and some extras for Windows (such as file transfers). And it has Tight encoding with JPEG compression which is very nice on slower connections.

I use TightVNC on all of my (few) personal Windows boxes. (They are game machines.)

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

I seem to have problem in using VNC Viewer with my N900. When I try to connect to an IP which has the VNC Server running, it immediately gives the following error:

Connection failed:

I'm able to ping to this IP address from X Terminal, although I do have to use "sudo gainroot" for ping to work. Am I doing something wrong?

I know the VNC server works as I can connect to it via an other computer.

Thank you for your help.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

how many frames per seconds does the remote desktop-app for n900 draw?
would it be possible to, lets say, play games via the remote desktop on the n900?

i'd love to play red alert 3 while laying in my bed through my n900 on my pc :D

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Is there a remote desktop app to connect to a windows (xp) computer?

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

It works fine for me. I had to specify the full DNS address (there doesn't seem to be anywhere in the WLAN config to specify a default domain), and display number, but then it connected without problems.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

I think there's an RDP client in extras-testing/-devel, or you can install a VNC server and use the VNCviewer app from extras.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

Do you mean by display number the port number?

I tried now using the IP address and the port number. If I use the "access" port number I get the same error. But if I use the "Java server" port number, it tries for some times and then I get this error:

Could not connect to server

Anyone else has had this kind of problems?

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

If you're running the server on Windows then the display number will be '0', on Linux/UNIX platforms it could be different (it should get reported when the server is started).

So connecting to 'servername.domain:0' should work with a Windows VNC server.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop
 

So in theory this should work too:

192.168.0.1:0

Right?

But it doesn't (Error: Connection failed: ). Neither does any of these:

192.168.0.1 (Error: Connection failed: )
192.168.0.1:5800 (Java server port - Error: Could not connect to server)
192.168.0.1:5800 (Connection port - Error: Connection failed: )
