Hi Flemming,

If you have Wireless LAN (WiFi or WLAN) built-in in your new laptop, you
could expand your PocketPC with a Wireless LAN adapter (they exist for
both SDIO and CompactFlash), and use the Windows XP built-in function,
called Remote Desktop (Please note, that I have no idea if this is
supported on the Home edition of Windows XP - Could someone confirm
this?) and connect to the laptop from the PocketPC, using only native
Microsoft software instead of using ie. VNC or the likes of it.

Remote Desktop does the same thing as VNC - it brings your Windows XP to
another computer (pocket pc, desktop or laptop pc, etc.) and it works
like a dream! I'd suggest this solution for you. The Wireless LAN
adapter for your PocketPC is priced around 1.000-1.400,- d.kr. and
should be accessible at most larger tech stores.

I'd be happy to help more, so if you feel for it, drop me a mail. I live
in Greve south of Copenhagen, so the language should not be a big issue )

Thank you Pete, for trying to help me out. What I want is to protect my
new (!) notebook (running WinXP) - control it from my PPC (a windows
version with MS Outlook, Navigation and MS ActiveSync) in the cockpit -
and as my notebook application (DLSK) cannot run on the PPC and as the
application cannot be transferred to the PPC, I would like to use my PPC
as a 'viewer'. An alternative could be an external monitor to the
notebook, and then I could use my cordles mouse controlling the
applikation ... Unfortunately, monitor prices (5 - 10 KU$) for that kind
of application is prohibitive for my wallet and needs. Its a 'nice to
have'-solution, I'm after ...

I have been searching on the vnc site - very informative by the way ...
But I have not been able to see, whether my specific problem - (i.e. PPC
as the 'controller', and I don't have an internet/TCP/IP on my boat, and
the formats of the different screens may also pose problems(?)) is being
solved. I may present to them my specific problem, as I'm not an
IT-expert, and it is hard to read through all the pages of the VNC
manual, that I have already downloaded ... so far, I have not seen a
solution to my problem.
