Hey All!

I need a hand from you brainy bunch!

I need remote desktop access to two different internet connected PCs running winXP. At the moment I'm doing this from my other WinXP box via a web service. Is there a way for me to achieve this from my N800?

I've got a little experience with Linux so don't mind getting my hands a little dirty .

Any help appreciated

rdesktop will connect you to windows XP, but I believe you need external keyboard. vnc is also avalable

rdesktop works fine, the only problem I have noticed is that you cant save more than one PC:s connection information in the GUI at a timee.

In Accessories->Accessibility You can find the onscreen keyboard, with that you can do pretty much anything you want on an XP machine. The XP userinterface even scales quite well to 800x480.

Thanks Tom. Is there a workaround for the connection information in the GUI? Failing that how do I get hold of the config files for rdesktop from within the N800?

Thanks

Just went off to try this but after I put the connection info into the dialog box the program just exits.

*Edit*

Duh! Should try enabling remote desktop in the target first!
