Here's a RAR file with 3 different VNC clients, including the RealVNC you asked about earlier

Yay I got it working using windwos 7 beta.
Here is a step by step of at least what worked for me

1: goto www.portforward.com, select your router,skip the advertisment,Everything is alphabatized so Goto r's and select remote desktop. Now follow all instructions to forward port 3389(thanks for the link dagnasty!!)

2: IMPORTANT!! This caused me major headaches. After your router firewall is setup, MAKE SURE your software firewall is as well ie. windows firewall, norton etc. If you don't you will be doing this

3: go into start menu/ control panel/ system/ now select system(from classic view for vista and 7 users) Goto remote settings and enable the computer to recieve remote connections

4: Goto (http://whatsmyip.org/) (thanks Denasqu) Write down your IP

Update if you are trying to get vnc working just swap to vnc instead of remote desktop in post 1

5: Goto your comm manger on touch pro and make sure your phone data connection is enabled! Also caused me a massive headache lol

6: Goto remote desktop on your touch pro and run it. Goto options and select Hi Color 16bit or your screen will look funky

7: Now under the main screen where it says computer: enter your ip that you wrote down( not the local one ie 192.168.... the one you got from whatsmyip.org) under user name enter the name you use to log onto your user account on the computer you are trying to remote control. Enter Your password under password. I left domain blank.
Note: You have to have a password I believe.

8 Hit connect and Enjoy!!!!=D>

if I missed giving any credit for the links or anything sorry. I'm new
Hope this helps everyone out

This is pretty much step by step, can't get simplier. Just make sure you forward port 3389 on both UDP and TCP

my question is do i have to do all that for VNC or are those instructions just for remote desktop

I havn't tried vnc. But I will give it a whirl when I get back from work.

VNC uses a different port, port 5900, so you will have to open and forward that port to your PC. It will also use port 5800 for a connection via web browser, but that will only work on a PC so you don't really have to worry about that one. You can also change the listening port in the settings as well

so basically follow those instructions but change 3389 to 5900? I can change the port on Ultra VNC to use 3389 instead of 5900, and then port forward to 3389. that sounds like it would work?

Not sure how the 2 programs listening on the same port would work out. Maybe turn off RDP first. Portforward.com should have a guide for VNC as well, but its basically the same thing as RDP
