Remote control a Mac from a PocketPC
Authored by: pyxy on Apr 02, '04 08:00:39AM

it took me a little while but I finally got this to work over a linksys wrt54g route
1) turned on OSXvnc. on the general tab note your port number.
2) on the router in application and game setting - set a port enabled to match the port on the OSXvnc. (usually 5900). I did this by putting in 5900 in both start and end. then i set the ip address to the mac.
i have a multiple os system on the other side of the router but i havent tried it with the other system (yet).
3) turn on wi-fi on my ipaq 5455.
4) set my vncviewer to 192.168.1.69:5900.
5) viola.

i noticed its slow to scroll. but the ipaq is a small screen trying to replicate 1280x1024 so that's to be expected

Great hint!!!
