Is it possible to connect to the N900 with my PC using the USB cable and VNC? I don't get a stable 3G connection at work so this would be ideal.

You need to figure out USB Networking - there are links on here if you search for them
(Sorry - honestly have to run, so no time to do it for you)

It's all here: http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_USB_networking

Once you have USB Networking setup you'll be able to use VNC over it.

@whaleyboy if your company doesn't allow installing unauthorized software then you might not be able to setup the USB networking(http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_USB_networking). However, you could consider the other options like connecting your N900 to PC via WiFi or Bluetooth-PAN.

I gave up with Windows a long time ago, so I'm not the one to answer it.

But this seems to give quite a few results, many of them pointing back to this forum...
