Updated VNC Viewer For The Pocket PC
http://www.cs.utah.edu/~midgley/wince/vnc.html
If you run the VNC service on your PC, there is a new VNC client for your Pocket PC.
They have added the ability to send a right-click (tap and hold) to the server and specify a port number. I had trouble with the right-click functionality though, but I need to see how old my VNC server software is. It worked fine on the Windows 2000 desktop but in Excel, the menu would disappear as soon as I lifted the stylus. I also didn't see a menu option to refresh the display, something I find myself using quite a bit on the desktop client. In the few minutes I played with it though I didn't need to refresh on a relatively speedy 10mb connection.
The price is free. Through this weekend only, you can get two for the price of one. There is no installer. It is just a simple .exe you can copy to your device. To uninstall, just delete the .exe and manually remove the section of the registry that remembers the server names you have put in. There are versions for all Pocket PC types and even the SHx/MIPS processors for some of the 2000 devices.

I haven't tried out the new VNC Viewer client, but did anyone have problems with it being really slow? I remember even when on the fastest connection (WiFi), it would take a few minutes for my Mac OS X desktop to display on my iPaq 4155.
I wonder if it's just my PocketPC, as numerous SSH clients also seem to be slow.
Thanks for any tips!

seems the ppc2002 exe file doesn't work. maybe it's compiled for some other processor (not arm ... and obviously not ppc2002). I was able to load the ppc2000 version and it works fine (slow though)

Hi, I just downloaded and copied the VNC.exe installer to my
PPC (Jornada 565) and it doesn't work, something about
"missing libraires DLL blablabla"
I get the feeling it's not the proper file that we're getting from the site REAL VNC...
I also downloaded the PPC 2003, same thing
If anybody got it to work on a PPC 2002, I'd love to hear about...
:evil:

new VNC
Hi all
Yes, I have got VNC Viewer to work, at least the previous one. I haven't tried this one yet though. I had the older one on my 2k2 upgraded 3630 over WiFi, and while it worked fine it was SLOW!!! I would really like TightVNC to release a viewer for the PPC. We use it at work and it is Light-speed compared to the base viewer.

Cool...this looks like a cool alternative to the Terminal Server...can't wait to try it out at home.
Question: Is it possible to connect to a computer over the internet that is behind a router? Let's say I wanted to connect to my computer at home which is behind a router...do I have to configure the router a certain way? Any tips? Thanks!

Set up the computer with a static IP and forward a port from the router to the desktop.
