Great. Please do me a favor and compile the steps you followed from the wiki to get WebVNC working. I want to redo the wiki page.

Easiest way to do so is make a entries at the bottom of the WebVNC wiki page. You can put something like notes from install so I know its there. Log in using your amahi.org credentials to edit the wiki.

As for remote and media over the internet, you need to be careful as that can be a huge security risk. VNC may not allow that either. If someone can get into your network, they can wipe out your hda and all your data.

ok, login seems not to be my best ability :(
Cant log into the wiki. So i'll write it here
http://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/WebVNC
Setup VNC Server

Sorry, some manual work needed to run the server

Log into the computer running HDA, e.g. as a normal user
Edit the file /etc/sysconfig/vncservers (with your favorite text editor)
Set the lines starting with VNCSERVER to read (remove the # at the start of the line)

VNCSERVERS="1:yourusername" VNCSERVERARGS[1]="-geometry 1024x768 -depth 16"

where yourusername is the desktop user you use to access your HDA desktop.

Click Here more details on setting up VNC on your HDA.
Haven't done anything from that. Only the following part was necessary :
Turn on Desktop Sharing

Unless you do this, your VNC session or your desktop will have a message asking someone to accept or refuse connections, and your client will be stuck waiting!

Log into the computer running HDA, e.g. as a normal user
Select SYSTEM menu, then Preferences, then Internet and Network, then Remote Desktop
Turn on the top two "sharing" options, turn off the "Ask for confirmation" option, but set a password below it.
