Title: Remote control PC from PocketPC
Post by: Dan on July 18, 2004, 02:29:42 PM

Anybody know a good program for remote controlling my PC from  my PocketPC over the USB-cable?
Nothing I have tried works, I´m going insane here.

Why USB?

I know the following work over ethernet:

Well, VNC works fine, if you bridge the network connection to the PockerPC-device.

VNC is unusable slow on the Pocket PC. Microsoft has a remote desktop client for Pocket PC that works much better.

Here's a link to more information:
