I have torn my hair out trying to make this work and I hope someone on this forum can help me.
Firstly, my setup: I have a Linux N wireless router, and a desktop with a wifi card running Windows 7 (Home Premium x64). I have a HTC Magic running the 4.2 version of CyanogenMod (Android version 1.6).
What I basically, want to do is in the title. I want to have an app that allows me to view my PC screen on my phone. Gmote and similar apps come close, but they are useless as I cannot view my screen.
I have looked at a number of “VNC” apps, but for one reason or another it just doesn’t work.
I have gotten VLC Remote and TunesRemote to work, which means that I am able to connect my phone to the computer, but beside that nothing works. I managed to get TunesRemote to work by opening certain ports in Windows 7. However, I tried to do a similar thing with a number of VNC applications and none of them worked.
I have been trying to port forward for the last three years and no matter what I do, it just doesn’t work. I am unsure if it is my Windows 7 firewall or the router, but either way nothing seems to be working.
I would appreciate help from someone knowledgeable in this field.
Thanks.
