The thread is 9 pages long which is like 180 posts. So no I did not read the entire thread. I know how it feels to have a subject rehashed over and over, just look at the Simple Bible thread. People request additional translations especially the NIV on almost every page of that 20 page post. So I did do a search and read the entire 1st post and all of page 9. I also searched this thread for Real VNC before posting. The only result was this one:

http://forums.precentral.net/homebre...ml#post1862348

Which wasn't 100% clear about the VNC thing. Since the apps name has been changed, then perhaps the thread name should change too.

I did read the entire change log before posting and I actually thought this comment about confusion was probably due some other VNC app named PreVNC. There are alot of VNC Servers/Clients you know.

Thanks for answering my question clearly.

I have Windows Vista Premium 32 bit and I can't get it to work with WiFi or EvDO, but I also have Virtual PC running on the same computer running Windows XP SP3 and it works with WiFi and Evdo perfectly fine with lag. I don't know what I'm missing with Vista. I did everything the same. Anyone try it with Virtual PC and Vista?

Unfortunately, the server app always seems to crash after a remote session. It'll work great, then I'll close the session on the pre, then later go to connect again, nothing. Come back to PC later and find out the server app is no longer running. Any suggestions? I'm in Win7 x64, has anyone tried any compatibility modes and gotten better results with the server app running stable?

Under the imput tab on the remote server am I supposed to be able to check the enable keyboard and the enable mouse boxes (they are greyed out) I'm guessing this is the reason I can see whatever I have on my desktop but am unable to do anything besides shrink and expand it.

I just installed this app. I love it! I could see my self doing things on my computer! I showed it to my husband and he's like, how'd you do that!

works fine over wi-fi. cant get it to work over ev-do. set up the dyndns.com external ip customized name. i think norton or windows firewall is still blocking it even though i added the remotewin to allow and added the port to windows firewall. ive played with my linksey router port range forward so much id think i got it right. made sure all the numbers match everywhere as far as ip and port. white window with evdo. bummer.

also Open Port Check Tool says Error: I could not see your service .. connection timed out..

Someone suggested turning off UAC on Vista, did you try that?

See my guide on page 9 and let me know if you have further questions

Then you didn't setup the router correctly, see my guide on page 9.

Port Forwarding Rule

Name RemoteWin
Protocol TCP
Source Port Any
Destination Port Single -- 5900 or whatever port you are using on your PCs

also, please install as a service so can remote control PC while the PC is locked. i can connect and see the screen, but not control anything

works great! thanks. Hopefully someday we will have the ability to integrate and work with some of the other more popular VNC clients out there as well. The only thing i am not very fond of is the huge latency due to it refreshing every second. even when i set it to "0" its still very bad. although for a 1st gen VNC client/server it is very functional. thanks again

Thanks everyone!
Big thanks to those who donated I really appreciate it!

I'm working on incorporating the suggestions, next version will have saving of the server information, and let it run as a windows service. Hopefully I will have the time to get that out tonight.

I also have gotten this to work over Wifi, but not EVDO. Right now, it is pretty much just a cool tech demo. Once I get this working on EVDO, it will be quite useful for me

I have forwarded my ports, added exceptions with the firewall, etc. I have followed each guide in this thread, but it just shows a blank screen.

Win7 32bit

works great for me on win 7 32bit
took awhile to get all set up had to run the server app as admin in win 7 to keep server running great with wifi and evdo thanks alot pal

Strangely, though I'm sure that's what I did before, this is the first time it worked.

I just wonder, my desktop res is 1440x900, and I selected the full color display. But then it lags pretty heavily, especially when trying to manage something like uTorrent. Any suggests on adjusting that?

Turning off UAC won't do a damn thing and not recommened. The problem starts with opening ports on the server's end to allow acess to your pre using dyndns.com I will need basic instructions how to get this working on my pre I'm while away from my home office network. DEEPTHOUGHT, perhaps you can help us.. I don't know first thing about hosting with ip but I already created a free account with dyndns.com for starters. So tell me how to use it?
