In XP Home, there's an option to allow a remote connection, but I can't connect to it using Remote Desktop
I'm thinking about remote control using VNC, but I also need to remote control it from my iPaq 2210 with Pockt PC 2003. Is there a version of VNC that will run on my iPaq

Yes, look at Mark Midgley's version of the PocketPC VNC client. Be aware though that VNC is slow, at
least in my experience.

Any chance you could upgrade the XP Home box to XP Pro. Terminal Services Client on the PocketPC is
very fast...

I often use VNC on Windows because it can be installed without a reboot and
that the client software is one exe-file that fits on a floppy, no
installation needed.

I find that VNC is rather slow on Windows servers, it's much better on
Linux. There are however configuration settings that might be worth looking
at.
 
Thanks for replying, I'll look at the settings

Sooner AL - Thanks for replying to both posts - I posted in the Pocket PC newsgroup too because I thought this group was very quiet
