Okay, so I have tried out about 3 different builds of VNC for Pocket PC, but none of them seem to be able to connect to my desktop? Has anyone else had this problem? It's now happening to my friend too. I have an X5 High, so it should have enough RAM. When I attempt to connect, the program just closes. Sometimes an error message pops and vanishes, but too quickly to read. Any ideas? Thanks.

make sure your putting in the ":0" after the IP address.
like - 192.168.0.5:0

Also make sure your VNC host is running in version 3.3 compatability mode.

I had problems with VNC. But I have XP on my laptop so I use the terminal services client in WM2k3SE to connect to remote desktop. It smokes along in ozVGA. My desktop/notebook is very usable this way.

I have a link somewhere to a site w screenshots, i'll post it. He uses portrait mode though which is lame. If you use landscape with ozVGA and click 'fit to screen' in terminal services client it makes a decent remote XP desktop.

Cheers

I am, and I run TightVNC server which can serve to 3.3 and 3.7 (and maybe more, but I never bothered with other versions) clients, as well as those clients who don't support Tight compression.

I think you need the older verson of vnc..

Same problem here but I found a fix.

On the VNC server, click the legacy tab and check the Only use protocol version 3.3.

Works for me, now pocketvnc connects to my desktop running RealVNC.

A couple of questions. I just discovered the wonderful little gem on my x30 called Terminal Services Client. Bummer, I run windows xp home. Can I run a VNC program instead and if so how do I make sure my host is running in version3.3 compatibility mode? Thanks.

EDIT: I was able to find a VNC client for windows on the website for the VNC pocket pc version...but it wasn't super apparent so thank God I kept searching and reading. All is working well.

Now, all this talk of turning off the host...how can I turn it back on. Seems from what I see that I would need WakeItUp or Wake on Lan. However, there seems to be some more to those than meet the eye as well. I have entered my ip address and no dice ...won't wake the computer. I am assuming there is something more on the pc side that I have to do?????
