And it has Tight encoding with JPEG compression which is very nice on slower connections.
Hi,
Just to ask what is possibly a silly question. Can you use VNC Viewer to log into a windows 2003 server, or windows desktop.
If not is there currently a remote desktop application you can use ?
Best regards,

I use TightVNC on all of my (few) personal Windows boxes. (They are game machines.)

I seem to have problem in using VNC Viewer with my N900. When I try to connect to an IP which has the VNC Server running, it immediately gives the following error:
Connection failed:
I'm able to ping to this IP address from X Terminal, although I do have to use "sudo gainroot" for ping to work. Am I doing something wrong?
I know the VNC server works as I can connect to it via an other computer.
Thank you for your help.

how many frames per seconds does the remote desktop-app for n900 draw?
would it be possible to, lets say, play games via the remote desktop on the n900?
i'd love to play red alert 3 while laying in my bed through my n900 on my pc

I tried now using the IP address and the port number. If I use the "access" port number I get the same error. But if I use the "Java server" port number, it tries for some times and then I get this error:
Could not connect to server
Anyone else has had this kind of problems?

So connecting to 'servername.domain:0' should work with a Windows VNC server.

192.168.0.1:0
Right?
But it doesn't (Error: Connection failed: ). Neither does any of these:
192.168.0.1 (Error: Connection failed: )
192.168.0.1:5800 (Java server port - Error: Could not connect to server)
192.168.0.1:5800 (Connection port - Error: Connection failed: )
OTOH you can use rdesktop to connect to every windows from XP to Server 2008 R2, but with standard license there is only one live session at the same time allowed. Somewhere in the system control panel (or server manager) you have to allow remote access.
