- So what you are saying is that social net working sites speed the process up in regards to how fast you get to know a person and either like or dislike them?

VNC Lite - iPhone App

Started by dancameron · 11 months ago

Having VNC for the iPhone is awesome. With the screen resolution and 3G I can actually get something done on my home computer - anywhere. Here are some screens I took, not an extensive review but you all know how VNC works, it’s a remote desktop.

Does this work over 3G too, or wifi only? That's pretty cool if they allow it over 3G.

Doesn't affect AT&Ts bottom line so of course they allow it. The only apps they restrict over 3G are the VOIP apps.

I am a college student and am wanting to set this up via DNS so that I can be anywhere and check things on my iMac.

The problem is that I do not know how to do this... and I live on campus in the dorms. Do you think it is possible? How would I figure out the DNS to put into the field?

Dustin: It's going to be very hard if not impossible. The problem you're
going to run into is port forwarding VNC to your desktop. If your college
runs a NAT, which I'd assume they do then you're going to have to talk to
some network guy that will probably laugh and turn away.
If you have a dedicated IP then you need to open the VNC port on your
router, then use port forwarding to the computer/desktop. Simply put: VNC
connects through a port, imagine your school network having a wall before
it, you'll need to connect the VNC port to your computer, the only way to do
that is through the network admin who owns the wall.

Hope that helps, if you don't understand what I'm saying...good luck, :).

Hah, that's funny - your comment wasn't there when I typed mine.

it takes just a little longer to post. It's the best feature of Disqus - for
me.

It should work as long as you have a publicly addressable IP, and that would depend on how the dorm network is set up.

If it's a NAT setup where you have an internal IP address, then you'd need to somehow forward that traffic into your private IP. Since you probably wouldn't have access to the dorm network configuration, that would probably mean setting up forwarding / tunneling through some other machine with a public IP address.

There may also be services that would do this for you, similar to GoToMyPC, but allowing you to use a VNC client to access them. I don't know of any, though.
