It works just fine but is it possible to shrink the view in the N800 so that I can see the entire picture on my computer without scrolling? This would be really great when using the N800 as a RC for WMC!!! Now I can only see a part of the computer’s screen at a time!

Regards

Hi Manmohan: What "exe" files are you talking about? Windows executables obviously won't run on N800 and if you are talking about PC GNU/Linux binaries, then you can't just copy them to N800 and run them. N800 has an ARM processor, so only those applications that are cross-compiled/ported to N800 architecture will run on it. You can find applications that run on N800 from the following pages: Applications for N800/OS2007 Applications for N800/OS2008

I am not able to execute exe files on my N800. Do we have any solution for that. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Yes Shoumik, to be able to access the computer desktop from N800, both of them(your PC and Nokia N800) must be connected to the same network. It won’t work if they are connected to different networks. It has nothing to do with Internet connections though, just should be connected to the same local network.

Hi, I’ve been having some trouble connecting to my computer through my n800. I did everything the top says and the n800 say’s it can’t find the server. Would it make a difference if i used the same internet as my computer? As in you know connecting to the same network?
