That should work, yes. Which VNC server are you using? And is there any firewall on the desktop which might be blocking things?

I'm using Real VNC Server running on a 32 bit Windows XP. I can connect to it from other Windows clients just fine, so firewall should not be a problem. But just to make sure, I disabled the firewall and tested again. But alas, no change.

Is anybody able to figure out how to switch tasks or switch off full-screen mode while on the n900 with rdesktop-cli?

Hi all,

Just got my N900 , and stubled upon this thread as it appears some people have got a remote desktop client working.

I have managed to find this page which is what i assume you are refering too.

I wonder if one of your smart guys could write a quick step by step for how to get this installed correctly on a n900 and run it. I noticed a few people in this thread asking how do they do it but no one has really answered

Looking forward to your replies, sur eone of your bright sparks can help.

I got the same problem with VNC.

Server on winXP desktop, test says it should work.
VNC viewer on N900, installed properly.

I connect either within the lan with the 192.168.0.xxx address or without the lan with the outside IP address.

Both tried to connect with and without the port. I opened the port in the router as well but still got nothing. Any tips?

edit: ping works btw from n900

Okay. Got It Worrking.

Hi there,
I'm using a N900 (so far a bit puzzled by the global behavior... not bad/not good...)
Anyway...I can't figure how to get right-click on rdesktop-cli.
Also, I noticed that the only way to get keyboard working is to set the device to full screen.
If anybody has a clue, thanks for helping.

I just installed VNC server and viewer and after porting it it work perfectly. The only issue I'm having is how to control the mouse cursor left clicking is fine (although quite smaal) but can I also right click? can I copy files to my N900? and how does the square&mouse offset thing work?

Same question here, I second that.

Thanks,
Corwin

I'm not sure how to right click - I've not played with the viewer on the N900 much yet.

Copying files won't work - that's not a standard VNC feature (various VNC versions support it, but mostly in differing ways).

The square should indicate where the local cursor position is, with the pointer indicating where the remote cursor position is. The remote cursor display can lag the local cursor on slow links, but you should be able to assume it's at the local cursor position for any interaction purposes (i.e. if you click on something then it'll take action at the local cursor position, not the currently displayed remote cursor position).
