I need help???

I have Jornada 568 with a bluetooth flash type card, I have paired this with my ericsson T68 with success as i am now able to view the net and pickup emails remotely (a bit slow though).
My problem lies with trying to use this setup to remotely access my home pc which is running windows xp pro and is constantly connected to the net via a cable modem.
I have tried VNC but I dont think this is compatible with the jornada's processor yet, I've tried with the terminal services software on the PDA and made my pc available to remote connection but i always seem to time out trying to connect.

Does anyone have any thoughts or now a 'how to' website i would be so happy :D

I feel stupid! It was something simple!

"In the Network Connections window, right-click the connection through which you will use Remote Desktop, and then click Properties. Click the Advanced tab, and then select the checkbox for Protect my computer and network by limiting or preventing access to this computer from the Internet. Click the Settings button. In the Services list, select the checkbox for Remote Desktop."

Quoted from microsoft website, this was all i needed. Now i can control my machine from anywhere in the UK! how cool! :D :D
