Subject: Re VNC on a netBookVNC produces a window onto the PC screen and you can scroll the window. I have
a 20" wide screen set up and I can view that on my netBook, though the colours
are muted to 256 so can look a little strange.Mouse clicks are done by tapping the screen: Left click - just tap, Right click - Fn+tap.
Tight VNC is actually very fast and, if properly optimised on the PC (i.e.
speed and not quality) it is very usable. …There was sometimes a problem in that the VNC service on the PC did not always work
properly and I had to restart it to get it to work - not much good if you are
not next to the PC! I used to test it locally first!… VNC and Tight VNC are not
encrypted, they do have a password for connection but that is it. You really
do want to ensure that only you can get on to the service! I configured the
firewall such that only a selection of IP address sources could get through on
the VNC port. …… This means that, it can be useful but you need an extensive amount of control
over the network to make it safe.Another option might be 'Go-To-My-PC' but I have no experience with this.
Also, the netBook has a Citrix client that may work with Citrix infrastructure.

… I am glad to report that I have finally got EPOCVNC working on my networked
netBook. The culprit was the vnchosts.txt file. Once deleted and replaced I
got a connection first time to my server. Its slooow, but still impressive
to see a portion of a Windows screen on the netBook. I don't think that I
will need to run an antivirus app though ;-)
