I am trying to use my ax and my laptop with a vnc viewer...it asks for the host name.. what is that and where do I find it?

Did you install the VNC server on your laptop?

The host name is the IP address to your laptop (or it should be) - try that.

 

hmmm...might it help to install a VNC server and not a VNC viewer only on my laptop????... hmmm...where can I find a decent VNC server (and if possible, cheap, if not free)

I may be missing your sarcasm, and if I did, forgive me , but it should be with the installer for the client.

The original VNC can be found at RealVNC. Personally, though, I have found UltraVNC to be the best because the server can be set to scale your screen. If you're on a QVGA device, and can read the smaller print, this gives you more screen space, which is kinda helpful.

Check out the documentation on their website, it has quite a bit of info on how to use it.

(Edit: Fixed QVA to read QVGA)
