Hi all,

just wanted to thank everyone who helped on the threads regarding VNC. I managed to access my home computer from my workplace today, easy peasy!

refresh rate was pretty good with 3G, fairly viewable on the N900 screen.

This was what i did :

1. Install RealVNC on Host PC, run VNC Server (open up port 5900.) Set up password.
2. Configure Host PC to a static IP address (in my case, 10.01.33)
2. Configure router to which my Host PC was connected to allow port forwarding (Map port 5900 on IP 10.0.1.33
3. I kept getting conflicting external IP address of my Host PC (whatismyip.com) so I signed up for an account at DynDNS.com. This allows you to substitute your XX.XX.XX.XX ip address to 'yourname.yourdns'. IT'S FREE. I selected 'myname.mine.nu'
4. Install VNC Viewer from extras-testing repository on N900
5. type in 'myname.mine.nu' in the VNC Viewer IP address bar, entered password
6. View and control your home PC from your N900.

Caveats :
1. This requires a fairly quick data connection
2. I selected to disable animation transitions and wallpaper when a remote vnc client was connected to help speed up actions
3. I set my home PC desktop resolution to 800x600. This means almost the whole desktop fits on the N900 screen. I only need to scroll up and down, entire desktop width fits within the N900 screen'
4. Battery hog hog hog

I had no idea what VNC or remote desktop was, and spent a good hour or so sifting through threads on VNC on the internet combined with tips from the maemo threads. I hope this guide helps others get VNC working.
