guys i'm looking for an n900 remote for pc, i saw this app that my freind has, its called log me in on the iphone, he can see the pc screen on his iphone and control everything the computer using an on screen mouse, when he moves the mouse on the iphone screen, it moves on the computer screen, and when he opens something lile my computer it opens on both screens, and he can go on the browser watch youtube and.... and it only needs wifi , so is there spmething like that for the n900 ?? please reply guys, i need this one.

Yes, there is a solution. On my PC I use UltraVNC Server (http://www.uvnc.com/download/index.html)

Don´t forget to forward the ports in your router to your PC

On the N900 install "VNC Viewer". Just start, enter IP or DynDNS name and password. Done

what do u mean with forward the ports on your router ? , and should i register ultraVNC server as a system service ?

and should i start or restart ultraVNC service in the setup ?

sorry for my stupid questions i'm just a newbi by the way kudos for that great post, u just made my day .

[rudei]

ah lol sorry. I forgot the thread totally

Yep, UltraVNC Server should run as a system service. Right-click on the UltraVNC Server icon on the bottom right (of the taskbar), then click on "Admin Properties"

In the windows you should set a VNC Password (so only you could connect to the PC)

Under "Display Number of Ports to use" you should select "Ports" and use the standard settings (Main: 5900, Http 5800)

I don´t know which router you have. Just google "Port forwarding"

Here is a guide if you use a Fritz!Box: http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/FRITZ/WLAN7170/UltraVNC.htm

On the side you can choose your modem and see the instructions

thanks for that, it looks like i didn't need to forward the ports on my router (d-link dir-300 ), it worked like a charm, thanks.

If you install Firefox from the Ovi store, you can run logmein straight from your phone.

I am facing problem for port forwarding I have D-Link Dir 615 router. Can any one please explain me in details step by step all process.

Thanks

[elie7]

go to the maemo wiki page you will find a step by step instructions there, and by the way how can i get log me in in firefox ????

I have been on the verge of buying the Samsung galaxy instead of the N900 simply because I badly need the facility to look at my home PC remotely. So, if the Firefox browser really opens logmein.com fully in the browser window I would be delighted. Does it work absolutely fully?

give it a go, before you blow more money.

just dl firefox and try it.

works fine for me.

Doesn't logmein require someone at the computer to agree to it being viewed/controlled elsewhere though?

[beachbuoy]

No, it doesn't require that. All you have to do is leave your computer on when you go out. You do of course have the option to leave your computer in standby mode needing a password to come out of standby. Then, all you have to do is type the password into your mobile webpage and the home computer will open.

It's great when it works properly.

[beachbuoy]

Thanks, Mark but the problem is that I don't have a N900 to try it on so I'm totally reliant on someone like yourself to try it out.

Sounds great. Where do i get it and how much?

[ceroberts75]

go to           www dot logmein dot com

create an account and on each pc you want to have access to, get on it and go to the website and add it to the computers list.

that is all.

be sure that you have a login profile for each computer for the main user that you want to access and you know the login and password for the individual computers.

then, from any computer, anywhere, even your n900 on firefox, you can access your computers desktop and control it from where you are within the web browser.

hope that helps.

OHH!!!!  and the best part....it's free!

and if you want another really cool product to share your files with your n900 and other pc's like above, look at my other post richwhite

enjoy!

[richwhite]

Thanks I'll check that dropbox out.

This logmein, do i not need to install it on the n900, or just on the 'receiving' computer?

[ceroberts75]

just the recieving computer.  you can have as many as you want connected to it.

sign up for the free.  it will give you premium for free for the first 30 days, but after that, just change it to the free version.
