Sorry to bump an old thread, but is there a way to ping a host via n900? I understand that my IP address is dynamic, so being able to ping on the road through my phone would be awesome.
I got it to work within my network, and outside, like a charm, but its the IP address changing that I want to figure out when I'm away from home and all I have is my phone.
Thanks in advance you guys!

Thanks for your help guys, i got it working!
But now i have a problem. I put it into fullscreen mode and i cant get out of it i.e. i cant get the top and bottom toolbars back because there is nothing to press. is there a shortcut to get out of fullscreen mode?
ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling but its still in full screen mode
EDIT: I figured It out. You press the volume rocker buttons

One thing I find strange about VNC viewer is that when I connect, the screen on my N900 is blank until I click and drag the mouse, at which point things begin to 'fill in' under the area I drag over.. is that normal? Anything I can do to make it start with a full view of the remote screen?

How well does that work?
I take it that you have to jailbreak the Iphone's device?
