[edit] Basic Usage
[edit] Controlling a computer on your own network
1. Install a VNC server on the computer you want to control remotely.
2. Open ports... the only port that needs to be open on your PC's firewall is port 5900.
3. Configure the wireless on the DS with a WFC game like Super Mario Kart DS. when you're finished restart the DS.
4. Start the DSVNC game.
5. When prompted, type the IP address of the server you installed VNC on in step 1, this can be found in the "network connection status" or by using "ipconfig" in the command prompt on Windows.
6. Enter in the password you chose for the VNC server and you're good to go.
[edit] Controlling a computer over the Internet
1. Install a VNC server on your computer, all VNC servers are supported.
2. Open port 5900 in your computer's firewall, (and your router, more information can be found at http://www.portforward.com for instructions on setting up your particular router)
5. Connect to an Access Point using a WFC enabled NDS game, i.e. Super Mario Kart DS. Reboot the DS.
4. Start the DSVNC game and input the specific IP information for your connection when prompted, the IP can be found by visiting one of the following pages:
http://www.ipchicken.com
http://www.whatismyip.com
If your IP changes constantly, you may want to consider no-ip, http://no-ip.com or contacting your ISP to find out if a static IP is available to you.
[edit] Common Problems and Known Issues
It's a little slow, but will get the job done in a pinch. The game may crash if it can't connect for various reasons (too high of utilization on the server, low connection speed, high latency, etc.)
