Re: Remote PC access via tablet browser
Yes, but that's by using default port 5900 and the maemo VNC Viewer available here: http://vncviewer.garage.maemo.org/ That works fine. But Clarence's suggestion was to use http access from a web browser. That uses port 5800 to download a Java client to the browser. However, the tablets don't have proper Java support yet, so unfortunately Clarence's suggestion won't work. sebastian maemo wrote: I've successfully worked with my Linux laptop located in Spain, when I was in Berlin just using my 770 via VNCviewer.

Re: Remote PC access via tablet browser
Sorry, I should have been clearer - my company only allows traffic out through an HTTP proxy - as far as I know you can't VNC through HTTP without using some additional tools (I have used httptunnel before as well as fireproxy).

Remote PC access via tablet browser
If anyone is interested in remotely accessing their PC with their internet tablet (or any other PC), take a look at logmein.com. ** * Setup -- Sign up for a free account at logmein.com and then download and install the applet on your PC. You can set up multiple PCs for access via the same logmein account. Once set up, you can access these computers remotely via any browser. * Fine print -- logmein installs an applet that runs in background on your PC. Presumably, this doesn't add a lot of overhead to your PC. * There's a discussion of the security issues at logmein.com if anyone's concerned. * Pro trial -- You get a free month/90 minutes of the Pro version. The pro version offers printing, file transfer and some other bling that many find worth paying a subscription for. This funds the free side of things. * Free Version -- after your month runs out, you get the Free logmein version, which limits you to remote access of your pc's desktop and programs. This is adequate for many uses. I suppose a kludge workaround for the lost of file transfers in the 'free version' might be to email yourself any files you might need. * Keyboard input -- to enter text into the remote, there's a window on the top of your browser screen that lets you type stuff in, that you send to the remote PC when you are ready to send. * Speed Issue -- on the n800, whenever you do anything on the remote PC, the screen blanks and rewrites itself to account for the change. In other words, don't expect to do a lot of work remotely. * It's great for accessing appointment books, looking at files and stuff like that. It helps to provide easy one click icon access on your PC desktop to the things you might want to access remotely.
