Let me try again with spaces

Btw, could you type in a command exactly as you would assuming you had a .deb file in your documents directory?

I would really appreciate this!

Ok please let me reproduce this

1) Plug your N900 into your usb port and select mass storage.
2) You will get a "Nokia N900" drive. Copy your deb file here, e.g. "file.deb".
3) Unmount your phone.
4) Open a terminal
5) Type "root"
- Your terminal name will change to "Nokia-N900-42-11:~#"
6) Type: "cd /home/user/MyDocs"
7) Type "ls"
- You will see the contents of this directory, including "file.deb" which you copied.
8) Type "dpkg -i file.deb"

Obviously do not include the quotations above, they include what you need to type. And note that directory names are CASE-sensitive, so write them exactly as shown above.

Installed rdesktop succesfully now. One more question- what do I put inside the parameters?

I have a windows vista PC.

RDP Server
username
password
domain

You can click "Thanks" under a useful post I guess.

I don't have the app installed, but have used rdesktop on my PC before, so it is most likely:

RDP server is the IP of your windows machine where you want to connect.
Username/Password are your credentials to log in.
Domain is optional, and only used if you are connecting through a windows domain. If it is a home PC you can leave it blank.

These are the details you log in normally with from the PC.

RDP Server = ip address of your vista machine
username = user name on your vista machine
password = password for above user name
domain = leave blank

Hi

I get Rdesktop cannot work properly because there is some problem with the connection network

I am confused because I have 2 computers on and the IP on them is the same. So how would Rdesktop know where which one to connect

Thanks, I am sure I will figure that out now that the basic part is resolved.

Sorry, this is pissing me off. Can someone show me where to find a simple step by step guide to getting remote desktop / VNC viewer working on the N900?

Thanks.

Try turning off the computer that you don't want to connect to?

It's probably best if you make sure each computer has its own IP address, though.
