I know I'm misusing it but u guys can't imagine how much fun I'm having with it. I have installed UltraVNC Server in two laptops and my frens are using them. I'm sitting with my n900 with VNCViewer installed and making them go crazy... However, if I could setup my router to use it remotely then I could make some good use of it but just locally? this is what I've ended up doing .
This is so far I've done:
*Port Forwarding (but checking with those checkers none of them show success. I even tried port 80 but still they produce the same error message(Port not opened or unreacheable). So, I'm completely confused.)
*Made IP of the laptop running VNCServer static. (Do I need to have a static IP for my router too to be able to remotely find my server? If yes, do I need to do paid subscription to someone that provides domain name?)
*When I tried to check the port forwarding, as an external link they printed IP no. completely different than the IPs I use. Is this what I need to enter in viewer to connect to the server from different network? and if this is not static does this keeps changing frequently or possesses same until router is rebooted?
*BTW, I have only forwarded port 5900 to try coz I haven't thought of using browser yet.
I'd really appreciate if anyone could lighten my dull head a bit. I seriously need it Thanks..

I am using Ubuntu Remote Desktop Karmic.

An error by VNC.

When I write from VNC on the N900 the first letter of each word is always capitalized.

tested with home or premium ed and works great.
1 make sure you are client mode.
2. click test on config dialog to make sure you have ip correct I found that with router and cable I need to use that ip that shoes within dialog box from VNC it will show you status then an address-click test button ( after setting up the pc prt forward in router) it will dispaly if your pc can be accessed from web and other ip if it differs.
3. also check permission- preferred. some reason it hates it being set to always.
4. if using cable ip do not enter colon with 5800 just numerical ip

I'm running ubuntu 9.10 in a home network. So I tried to connect my n900 to the linux machine (by using "remote desktop"). The machine i'm trying to connect to's ip is 192.168.1.9,while the phone is at 192.168.1.5 at the moment(it may vary since I haven't put a manual ip on it and the dhcp server decides what address to give it). So I downloaded the vnc viewer on my n900,entered the machine ip and connected... BUT as soon as it connects the background image freezes (tho I see the mouse movement on my n900) and no matter what I do it won't 'unfreeze'. Like on my n900 screen atm I see the clock on my pc showing 15:09 while on my PC it has moved 6 minutes ahead and its 15:15. Tried enabling "allow users to control your desktop" but again,i can control the mouse through my n900,it sends the commands excellently to the pc,but no matter what I click, nothing happends on the n900,while at the pc everything moves exactly as i click it on the phone.

Also tried the "krfb" program - same thing happends.I've turned off the router firewall,the linux firewall and even made a virtual DMZ server to the linux station(redirects all inbound packets to specified IP),but with no effect. Is there a firewall on the n900 that needs to be turned off or something else ? :S

Tried connecting to the linux station through a windows pc and it worked flawlessly so I guess the problem is somewhere in the N900 :/

Any ideas how to fix this will be appreciated

Using Win Vista with TightVNC, I cannot move mouse to the very top or very bottom of the screen (left and right sides seem to be reachable). There's an area with the height of few pixels that in unreachable.

For example if I'm using vncviewer with windows and have taskbar auto-hide enabled, it's impossible for me to move the mouse to the bottom of the screen to get the taskbar to pop up.

Is this a known/common bug or am I the only one with this problem?

I am seeing this as well, with the Linux Mint equivalent of 9.10. Starting up a vncserver session on a different display works fine, however. Also, Ultr@VNC on Windows works fine, so I think it's a combination of the vnc client on the N900 and the server built into the "Remote Desktop" in versions of 'buntu and clones. Haven't investiaged further, but who knows, at some point I might have some free time

I just installed TightVNC server on my windows xp pc. I can connect to my pc through the local network (192.168.1.2) but when I try to connect to my normal IP (213.93.229.xxx or 213.93.229.xxx:5900) it says connecting and then I get the error Could not connect to server.
I forwarded port 5900 on my router to my local IP...

Anyone knows what might be the problem here?

Probably firewall port forwarding problems. Check your router settings again.
