Wow,it's so cool to see your home computer desktop on your N800! Thanks to Symbian-Guru I downloaded rdesktop and followed the directions at http://www.symbian-guru.com/welcome/...on-t.html#more . Some tips. Your IP address goes into the first line. If you have a router though, it's the routers address. You will have to set up a user account on you desktop computer with a password. Your domain is probably MSHOME, unless you changed it at some time. You'll get your keyboard from -Accessories-accesibilty-keyboard.

I can now run my desktop computer from anywhere in the world. I'm trying to figure out how to get the sound working as then I could accesss XM radio.

Great.
Please ask your Symbian Guru how to setup and run remote deskop on Nokia 800 getting access to Nokia Symbian running phones.

I am still interested in getting access to Nokia Free Maps run on S60 Nokia phone from Nokia 770/800.

it closes down whenever the connection fails. the connection fails for any reasons, wrong ip, wrong firewall, accepting desktop is not configed properly......

Any luck to get the audio comes out from the iT,
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=10163.

and it works ONLY in your home network. If outside your home, you need portforward as well as the listening channel...that is where I am stucked. I still ONLY able to rdesktop in my home, not outside yet . Pls post how you circumvent this situation,

TIA

That last post had a good url to some very detailed intructions. Remember, if it doesn't work, you probably have the wrong IP or you didn't turn on allow remote access in control panel on your pc. If you have a router, it is the router's ip.
I find I can access websites alot faster than on the Linux browser. Plus it looks just like a laptop. I wish we could figure out the audio problem.

What do you mean by the router's ip? There are many ips. The one that comes into your router and the one that your router hands out. If you use the one that comes into your router, you need a listening port and port forwarding. If you use your ip that the router gives out, it will work ONLY in your home network. Pls post how you made it work, thanks

. The symbian guru's direction is not as to the point as mine



TIA,

Works fine for me, except if I switch screens on my N800, then try to come back to the remote session, the remote session screen is unresponsive. Still, it's nice to have this tool along with VNC.
