Remote control your PC through your Palm
check1. Allow Users to Connect Remotely to This Computer
2. routing and remore access
3. allow incoming connections
There are two main VNC clients for Palm- Free one called PalmVNC and Shareware micro-VNC $19.95 USD by Hitachi Systems & Services, a member of the Hitachi Group: one of the largest providers of systems integration services in Japan.
I had used PalmVNC in the past without major complaints and later uninstalled it because I was over it. Now i need a VNC client on my palm to monitor my night unlimited Internet connection from MTNL. I need it coz at times I have to get out of bed, go near the PC and verify if everything is downloading fine! Makes it hard to fall back to sleep again. Now I can use the same VNC to monitor it from my bed.
It didnt work, so I tried to start the VNC Service in Services. It said could not start the VNC Service on the local computer- error 2, the system cannot find the file specified.
I had earlier tried to instal WinVNC server on my PC and it says: The WinVNC server could not be installed.
The I started Workstation service by this didnt have effect on both the errors.
WinVNC can now be made to run as a service process under both Windows NT and Windows 95/98, by following the instructions outlined below. This allows you to connect to a machine which has nobody logged in to it, for example. On NT, you can also send Ctrl-Alt-Del to the server when it's running as a service, allowing you to unlock a locked workstation, f
so no need to install it as a service!! love u!
Next day- Now I know that VNC wasnt installed properly hence I was unable to start it in Administrative tools> Services.
I think we need to make sure that we are connected to the computer by Softick PPP (or any other way). So I started Softick PPP. It connects but still no connection with Palm VNC. It says error cannot connect to 192.168.1.3:5900
5900 is the port used by VNC.
************!!!!! just make sure that a password is set and that it is able to take incoming connection hint!!
no need to install 2- If you would like to have TightVNC start automatically and run even if there is no active user, you should install it as a service using the corresponding menu item from the TightVNC Administration section. Note that installing the WinVNC service is the only way to make Ctrl-Alt-Del work remotely (applicable only to Windows NT/2000/XP systems).
i clicked on remove as i wanted to try if ultra vnc was workin asnd it gave me an error saying it could not remove a particular entry from registr.. then i clikcekd on install services and it automtically installed it!! kya pagal pan hai!!
maybe it wasnt workin because it had some old preferences which were not deleted - my dyndns for example!
also i realizewd tht i had installed an older verison of vnc- i installed 3.3.3.
also read somewhere that if u try to access ur own pc thru vncviewer , it wont work.. sounds so obvious now! i tried using the dyndns hostname with vnc viewer!
PalmVNC will not use SSS if scaling is set to 1:1 VNC server does not support SSS(Server Side Scaling). We recommend you to upgrade your VNC server because SSS is important in low-power device or low-bandwidth. But you can also use old VNC server in this mode. Notice that Scaing and Fuzzy drawing disable in this mode. It's freeware, so I know I can't "officially" complain, but it does have a few issues with it. The first one I noticed 30 seconds after installing it, was that scaling at any factor other than 1:1 does not work at all, from the my Tungsten T2 Palm handheld to any vnc server, OSX, Windows, or Linux. Any attempt to scroll when selecting any scaling factor other than 1:1 causes an immediate server disconnect. Also, setting the scaling factor in the Details form to anything other than 1:1 causes the same problem.
Overall, it's a great application, but still requires a LOT of scrolling to move around a standard 1024x768 desktop screen.
I've tried the "newer" version (non-free), and it too has some lingering issues, the most annoying of which is the constant refreshing of data, which takes 3-5x longer than the refreshing rate of this (free) version.
A few features I'd love to see would include selectable bpp levels, which would speed up refresh, a properly-working scaling factor (perhaps with hires support for screens larger than 160x160), and macros for launching certain applications from certain x,y coords on the screen. [VNC host] is not specified(the field is emptied.),you can connect to SSH terminal instead of VNC server.
# SSH port] ... When using SSH, Specify the port number of a SSH server. The digits of less than 4 characters can be used.
Usually, the value of this field is 22. However, since this value can be changed by setup of a SSH server, you need to specify this value so that it may be suitable for a SSH server's setup.
The value of this field is ignored when a [SSH host] is empty.
# [SSH user] ... When using SSH, Specify user name for logging in to a SSH server.
The alphanumeric and symbolic characters of less than 31 characters can be used.
The value of this field is ignored when a [SSH host] is empty.
# [SSH password] ... When using SSH, Specify password for logging in to a SSH server.
The alphanumeric and symbolic characters of less than 31 characters can be used.
When not specifying here, a password is asked at each connection time.
In addition, SSH password is stored without encryption in an Palm OS machine. Probably, those who have worries in security had better not specify here.
The value of this field is ignored when a [SSH host] is empty.
TightVNC will work only if TightVNC is used on both sides of the connection. gr8 site-= http://mywebpages.comcast.net/SupportCD/VNCGuide.html
Different Routers have different ways of enabling these Ports, commonly known as Port Forwarding.
