Hi there.

With my new 4g connection I figured it might be worth while to give a remote desktop client a go. Unfortunately I have windows 7 home premium and NOT pro so I can't use "Remote Desktop for Blackberry" That basically left bVNC.

So I went to his website, downloaded tiger-VNC, and followed his setup instructions, (extraneous: Setting up TigerVNC for secure connections to Windows with bVNC). Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. I keep getting the error message



These are the settings that can be configured in the app on the smart phone. The blacked out parts are my IP address.



and the relevant settings, I assume they are relevant because they are in the instructions, are in the picture on the website I linked above.

Everything was followed to the letter. The only difference is that I had to change the ports in Norton 360. I'm pretty sure I did it right. I also "allowed" the tigervnc program in addition to opening the ports.

Additionally the ports were opened only to the IP address of my blackberry, but I'm still getting the same error message as when I tried it before that, so I don't think that is the cause.

Some other information, in case it's necessary:

Running Windows 7 Home Premium
Running Norton 360 as firewall
Using a Lenovo Ideapad Laptop
Using a Blackberry Q10 with the latest official OS.

I'm sure there is other information that is needed, so let me know.

Hope you guys can help!

Cheers

When you installed this app, did you grant it all the permissions it asked for? Last time I came across this it was related to the app not being given connection permissions.

I don't remember. I'll give it a reinstall and see if it works.

When I reinstalled the app it didn't give me any options to set permissions, it just told me which ones it needed to run. So I guess it's not a permission issue.

Not sure if it's any help but there is a patch which enables remote access on Windows 7 home premium with the "Remote Desktop for BB" app. I recently installed it and have had no issues. Found this link through a related post here on CB.
