Hi people, lets see just how good this website really is.

Sorry, can't help you with your request, but you'll probably get better results if you edit the title so that people can immediately see what the post is about. That way the ones who can help know immediately that this is for them.

Oh, and search the forum for VNC. I believe this has been discussed before. It's always good to show that you've tried to solve the problem yourself instead of just immediately calling for help.

Re: Who wants to help me !
 

The search function is really good. Start there first.

Then go out into the internets and get some experience/learning with those and come back.

Search around. There's thread after thread on VNC. Go to maemo.org and add the repositories found there.

Then you're going to be sadly disappointed.

Search. Read. Search. Read.

Give a man fire, and he's warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life!

This is a tough crowd!

1. Install VNC Viewer on your Nokia: http://maemo.org/downloads/product/vnc-viewer/

2. Install Ultra VNC on your PC: http://www.uvnc.com/ and run it.

3. Do a little reading on both sites about the programs.

4. On your PC, right click the Ultra VNC icon in the menu bar and select Admin Properties. In the Authentication area, enter a password.

5. On the Start Menu of your PC, go to Accessories, open a Command Prompt, type ipconfig and press <Return>.

6. Make note of your IP Address so you can enter it in VNC Viewer on your Nokia.

7. On the Nokia, run VNC Viewer and enter the IP address of your PC, along with the password that you entered in Ultra VNC.

8. Post another message to A.) offer copious thanks for the many thoughtful and generous people who help each other on this board, and B.) get clarification in case something didn't work. (I may have forgotten some detail because it's been awhile since I set this up on my system.)

9. Be a little more gracious and a little less edgy the next time you need help. :)

Sucker, maybe...

Re: Who wants to help me !
 

Boblinds, thanks for that, I was never clear on how to get started on VNC. It is one of those subjects that is on my list to focus on.

That is exactly the information I needed.

Thanks again.

hmmm, not sure about that warm for the rest of his life bull,
maybe for the amount of time he is alive to feel the heat.

I'll take matches if you have any.

not too good with catching when people are being sarcastic, let me know if thats what it was.

Re: Who wants to help me !
 

Pish. Semantics! It will definitely be the rest of his life. :p

Re: Who wants to help me !
 

Well, I'll not spoonfeed but I will say that if you have windows XP Pro, you probably ought to use rdesktop. It's encrypted (unlike vnc), and can export your memory cards as drives on the XP machine. It can also be more bandwidth efficient than VNC.

I'm no Microsoft fanboy, but the rdesktop protocol is very nice.

Re: Who wants to help me !
 

Thanks alot for your positive reply. And all you people that dint help and started sayin random google quotes no thanx 4 ya help

Re: Who wants to help me !
 

boblinds thanks alot.

What about us spammers? Don't we get an acknowledgement???

Re: Who wants to help me !
 

Prepare for thread scrubbing. Thread scrubbing will commence shortly... Sarcasm will not be tolerated. submit.

Re: Who wants to help me !
 

Sorry, I was all out of help yesterday. I used it up on the first 6 people that couldn't figure out how to set up their own damn printer.

Re: Who wants to help me !
 

Thanks for the tip. I used the method I described because it got me going quickly with minimum fuss (at least when I initially did it.) I'll check out the rdesktop solution now, too.

At present my use of VNC is fairly humble. Just within my wireless home office network, it allows me to turn on TVersity server when I've forgotten, and--while I'm watching America's Got Talent or some other Fine American Network TV Programming-- stream the flash videos from TeenageTrannyNunsInHeat.com.

Best,
Bob

UPDATE: Enabled Remote Desktop on my WinXP system, Installed and configured rdesktop on my 770. Forwarded the port on my router and, after a few glitches, got it to work! Unfortunately, because I have WinXP SP2, I'll now have to hack it to allow multiple user logons. http://sig9.com/articles/concurrent-remote-desktop

Re: Who wants to help me !
 

Boblinds,
Me too. Follow your clear step by step, I did it in less than 2 min. And on top of this, I tried realVNC on my winCE (same VNC on the laptop) and found on the 770 is many time more smoother. The bottom line, now both of my 770 and winCE (Dell AximV50x) is able to see and control the laptop server. How about a secured one, like SSH? And there is also instruction of using the 770 as a server, and the laptop PC as a client, I wonder under what situation one would want that, maybe using the PC keyboard? Thnak you again.

Maybe your help quota is set too low. I suggest defragging and reallocating. You might free some more up. :p

Re: Who wants to help me !
 

How do you defrag a Mac?

I work with teachers that don't have to learn anything because it's not in their contract. :rolleyes:
