If you run the program at a home PC or wherever while running on that PC a VNC server (google it, you can download it for free) then you install VNC Viewer on the Internet Tablet, you could do it that way. Just remember the IP address and input that into the VNC Viewer on the tablet (you obviously must be connected to the internet somehow).

i vaguely understand.. i have vnc server -- dont know how to load to n800 .. but when i do, i put home IP into vnc viewer (whatever that is) and i can find / play from the poker site? will a table open up on my home PC?

rdesktop is a really easy way to access programs on your PC as well. Heck, I opened CorelDraw from my N800 just for fun, and by golly, I could actually work with it! Yeah, it wasn't easy, but still...

Rdesktop is short for Remote desktop. It actually takes over the target PC. Due to this I created a special profile on my PC just for the tablet, with the proper resolution, etc. So when I log onto my PC (over my home wifi) using rdesktop the current user is logged out of it and the N800 actually becomes a "window" into the PC environment. You're running apps on the PC but viewing and interacting with them via the tablet.

and theres a usual way to do the same when your out of range of home network,, assuming.. im sure that im gonna want some more help for this once i actually get it.. i hope its ok to either pm you or find this thread and go into it further when i get to sticking point.. im assuming that any rdesktop will do or does it pretty much need to be the windoze version..that actually brings up more questions..
thanx

No, this won't work outside the range of your home network, at least not without VPN.

And you want to run rdesktop on the tablet, not the PC. BUT-- you need to enable remote access on the PC. On XP it's simple, but Vista adds more qualifiers, such as which version of rdesktop you'll allow. You would of course want to enable "any version".
