I tried to use termsrv but it seems it doesn't work with the 64bit version

Does, I don't think you can remote desktop into home premium. It should be atleast pro.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop

How can I scroll down or to the right?
Currently the resolution is bigger than the N900s resolution (multi monitor desktop) and I cannot find a way to see the taskbar or a scrollbar at the right side.
Thanks.

Wow, major geekgasm. Now I have remote desktop access to my home machine over 3G through dyndns.org. Major thanks to the developers!

Re: N900- Remote Desktop

I've found rdesktop to be a life saver more than a few times when I've been out and about and had to remote into a server for one reason or another.

The only time I've run into problems is with apps that don't fit to the screen. I've tried setting the screen size to be larger (e.g. -f 1024x768) but I can't work out if there's a way to scroll. I don't suppose there's any way to add scrollbars, or maybe hold down a key and swipe the screen to scroll?

Also, is there a way to manage the list of saved connections (aside from modifying the xml files)?

As it stands it's already a great tool. Thanks!

2 - Disable firewall on pc or allow remote desktop port 3389 See here

3 - Set password to your aco**** on your pc and make it member of Administrator See here

4- Go to your router's management page and forward remote desktop port to your computer's new static ip See here

5 - Enambe remote desktop on your pc See here

6 - Start Rdesktop 1.7 package on your N900 and type your computers internet ip you can get it from a site like whatismyip.org

For easy use see if your router supports http://www.dyndns.com/ . If it does just open a free account and you won't need to remember your pc's ip all the time

Thank you very much! Following these steps worked perfectly. It's nice to be able to run lengthy Matlab scripts all day when not home :)

I have Windows 7, so by doing step 5 there was no need for step 2. Also, I found that when connecting to my domain registered on dyndns.com, entering "http://[yourdomain]" for the server in rdesktop does not work. Without the "http://", it does. Maybe because with the http:// it tries to use port 80 or something?

Anyways, people looking to use rdesktop+Windows on the N900 should try these steps.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop

I'm thinking of buying an N900, but need remote desktop for Windows 2003/2008 server access (not VNC).

If the server screen size is 800x600 will I be able to scroll to see all of the screen (some default windows have a fixed size/layout, requiring the 600 height)?

Hoping to get some advise on this,

Thanks!

The screen on pc adopt resolution from n900.

Re: N900- Remote Desktop

Thanks for that; yes, it's the rdesktop that I'd want. I have double checked, one of the control panels (MS SQL Server) has parts missing near the bottom when using the comparable 600x480 resolution. It would be good to fool it into 800x600 and then to be able to pan/scroll to the missing part.

Any thoughts? I really like the look of the n900 but a lack of scrolling facility could be the limiting factor.

Thanks!
