Any help or advice appreciated.
You could install ssh server and ssh into the n900.

You will need an SSH client on your Windblows PC. There are several to be found on tinternet: putty or OpenSSH spring to mind.

You will need the IP address of your n900 on your network. There's a handy utility for the n900 for that (forgot whatit's called) or yu can sudo gainroot on an xterm then type ifconfig -a to get your IP address.

From a standard ssh client you then type ssh root@YOUR_IP_ADDRESS

Note that once yu are accessing your n900 via this method you are logged in as root. This means you have Godly powers on your n900. One wrong command and you could screw up your device.
