Does anyone know of a VNC Viewer program available for Axim X51v?

Is one, though if you are trying to connect to a windows xp machine you do not need VNC at all, just go to Programs -> Terminal Services Client and put in the IP address of the XP machine and it will do all the work for you, even resizing the screen... all you need it the IP address, username and password of an account on the machine, preferably one with administrator rights.

Just XP pro though, right? :)

Note that it won't work with XP Home, just XP Pro (and Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2000 Advanced Server - see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/ind...op_wind&more=1 for more info).

As far as VNC clients are concerned, there're two of them:

1:
http://www.cs.utah.edu/~midgley/wince/vnc.html
http://www.pocketpccity.com/software...-pocketpc.html

This seems to be incompatible with a lot of servers and can't be used from a cradle either.

2. PTvnc; this is said to be more compliant with current VNC servers (this is still to be checked by me).

The full list of these programs can be found at http://www.pocketgear.com/products_s...ortByOrder=asc

The most important ones:
vnc2 http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=9578 (no trial version!)
HiRes http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=15797
WM5 http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=20488

I wouldn't recommend any of the above-listed VNC applications because they seem to have a lot of compatibility issues. If incompatgibility with VNC isn't an issue (because you only want to access your PC from your Pocket PC and not, say, your Linux or Mac computers), z2 Remote2PC 1.1 (see http://www.z2software.com/ ) is by far the best remote controller application in my opinion – and it works through a simple ActiveSync connection! It's really good, I can only recommend it.

BTW, I'll publish a bigger review/roundup of all these questions really soon.

No matter what I tried I couldn't connect with z2 1.1. Kept getting the error "Connection error. Error 0*20000100: User authentication filed. Invalid user name or password". But I've tried with every kind of user account (supervisor, admin, user) without any luck. I'm guessing the server isn't running properly.

setup:
-XP home
-2003 SE
-Wi-Fi to connect

Wow! How exactly did you access it in XP home?

VNCViewer client on PPC and TightVNC server running on XP Home works for me. :)

Wait a minute...aren't we talking about Terminal Services, not VNC???

I just tried terminal services for the first time today.... VERY cool! Any way to get the speeds up a bit like by lowering the resolution? Or perhaps a VNC server would be quicker?

You must supply it a local username/password, unlike with TS.

You may want to check out the links at the end of my TS-related article on this.
