vnc help

[andy_con]

I'm trying to set up vnc between my lumia and my XP laptop. But when I search and trying to connect my fone won't see the laptop. The person sitting next to me with his iPhone can see the laptop amd connect why can't I?

So no one has used the lumia with vnc then?

What program are you using on WP7? What OS is on the laptop?

 

[andy_con]

The laptop is XP and it was just a general free vnc program I found in the market place.

Try entering the IP address of the laptop directly into the VNC client. That should make a direct connection.

But you need to connect the phone to the computer first don't you?

They should connect via the network, you shouldn't need to make a direct connection.

Just check that both phone and pc are on same network and have IP address in the same range. Then you can make the connection by IP address, this is how i connect to my PC.

my phone IP is 192.168.1.80 (given by wireless) , my computer is 192.168.1.81 (given by ethernet, same router).

On my phone i enter 192.168.1.81 and password to connect to the computer.
