I've been using Android-VNC-Viewer since I bought my Atrix. It's worked great so far. Best of all, it's free! You can find it in the market.
I'm using Ultra VNC on my server.
Let me know if you have any questions. It may be a bit difficult to set up at first. Good luck!

Sounds like port 5900 is closed. Google "port forward", click on the first link, and follow the instructions for your specific router.
You can verify whether or not a port is open at CanYouSeeMe dot org.
Let me know how it goes.

I used Splashtop on my old phone. Insanely quick - you could even watch videos and listen to music. Hell, I managed to do some basic stuff in photoshop!
I'm a fan of VNC, but it's not the most secure thing around.
I would set up a VPN connection to home or an SSH tunnel to use it. That will add to it's security. If you go with the port forward route, make sure you shut the forwards off, or close VNC when you don't need it. (Read, VNC alone isn't very secure)
If your not a network geek, then I highly recommend Teamviewer.
It just works, thru whatever firewall setup you sit behind. With zero configuration. You can also add ACL's to allow connections from only certain IP's/Clients to lock your install down a little better.
Been using team viewer for years now. I its the best on market. And free as well.

i use unified remote. simple, and works great
Splashtop remote is a godsend in terms of quickly showing you what's going on on your computer. It essentially makes your phone a remote display capable of not only controlling the computer, but also watching videos, and even playing games. The coolest thing for me is the ability to stream the audio from your computer to your phone. Hope this helps
This does use quite a lot of data so I suggest running it on wifi. There's a free demo as well that you can try.

I've had my tab for a, few months now and I don't use it much aside from netflix but i want to use it for games and such. The market is confusing when it comes to finding tablet made apps and games. So if all of you want to post the apps and games you use to make your tab worth using post it here!

I was wondering if there is an app or some other way of accessing the movies etc on my PC at home when I'm not there using my tab? Say I'm at work using the wifi there is there some way of connecting to my shared folder on my home PC and streaming through the internet back to my galaxy tab?
All help greatly appreciated to relieve my boring breaks with a TV episode

Team viewer worked great on my nook color for controlling my PC from anywhere. Just had to set it up on both the PC and nook. Easy and free in the market.
Never tried it on the tab though.

It gave me total control of my PC.... Showed my screen almost like remote desktop. Freaked the kids out when I took control of the mouse from anywhere. lol
Edit: Just noticed you wanted to stream some TV shows. Don't know if that would be clunky or not.

Not sure if it would depend on the connection speed or more the capabilities of the app itself. I shall give it a try tonight. Much appreciated mate and looking forward to freaking out the wife haha

The only problem is using Teamviewer you would need to set a prefixed password and username on it as it generates random per session so would be best. Also it needs to be on, closing teamviewer on your PC means you cut off the communication. Also it doesn't require a high end internet as teamviewer by default drops the quality and turns off wallpaper's and such per connection to enhance speed to navigate vs graphics.

That's fine my PC is on 24/7 anyway so that wouldn't be a problem.. if it sacrifices graphics for speed do you think maybe its not gonna be suitable for what I need it for?

Think you can set a password to use all the time in options, but it's been awhile since using. So could be wrong, but never remember having a random password. But yes I do remember having to have the PC on, but believe I could still wake it.
Again, I've not used my nook color for some time with this. So give an old man a break if I'm wrong.

i use splashtop which basically works like windows remote desktop - you can see and interact with your home pc like you were in front of it - great for playing back videos as well

Server runs on Linux, Mac or PC. I have a Linux server running so I can't tell you how good the Windows port is.
I have never used it for an outward facing connection though it is designed to work that way. I have it running on my old Dinc, Kindle Fire and the G-Tab. Video streaming works very well.

In my opinon it is all about the bandwidth. Some (HD) Movies need up to several megabit per second...
A solution is to use a VPN connection to the home network and a UPnP-AV server/client.
I use Twonky and BubbleUPnP, but only in my LAN. With a VPN and sufficient bandwith on the connection this would do the job over the internet, too.

With a little planning you could upload the video files that you want to be able to access to Dropbox, Minus or whatever Google offers that is similar. Then all you would have to do is access the files from your tab. If you have enough bandwidth for video, it should work great.
Check it out and let us know if my idea works for your needs.

Never thought about cloud.. like u say though forward planning would be needed and I'd have to upload everything that I'd want to watch each time before I go anywhere. Nice idea though

I have had cerberus installed on my PC for a long time, it allows you to use your PC as an FTP server.
This way you can have access to your chosen files anywhere with the internet. On your mobile most file explorers have a FTP option to move files to or from the PC.
Its handy to have access to all your music, or maybe use it the other way to backup your photos ect when away from home for a extended period.
you could also stream over FTP if your file explorer allows you to map the FTP server as a local drive

Yes it has been troublesome for Android ICS 4.x, in general.
Yeah, I prefer the friendcaster app, it's worked much smoother and you can make it light letters on dark backround which is easier on battery and eyes.

Thank you for posting this! This is 10 times better than using Facebook in a browser or using the dreaded dedicated app!
I should warn you guys. Any app that is not THE facebook app will be suspect to facebook API privacy. That means if your friends have not changed default settings, or have setup facebook to not show info about them through the API, you won't be able to see certain things on their page, or be able to do anything with their page through this app. I noticed this first with the xbox 360 app, and then the friendcaster app. Some of my friends had no pictures at all. Just be aware of that.
I am looking for a ROM that cuts out a lot of unnecessary things...it may not even exist. My Vibrant no longer has cell service. But I do use it for music, games and surfing the web sometimes. So, cutting the phone app and everything related to wireless comm (except WiFi of course) to help free up memory for the other things would be nice. Much like Rock box (I think is the name) does for iOS devices like iPhone. Or, any suggestions. I am currently using the CyanogenMod nightlies for 10.1. Thanks for the attention!

Unfortunately, this ROM also cut the android apps out...I am having difficulty finding them again. Cyanogenmod's for 2.2 of course aren't working. This would be a good ROM if I still had access to the Play store when connected to WiFi. Can't even find anythign ont he forum inless my search terms aren't tweaked well enough.
