Since you've used VNC before this really should come down to what 
you've tried and what happened when you tried it on your Z.  The VNC 
server is compatible for VNC clients and Java-capable browsers.  The 
AT&T VNC client for Windows will work too.

Did you go to the homepage listed 
(http://sdgsystems.com/download.html) 
and follow the installation instructions?  
- Did you install the zlib package too?
- Did you calibrate the touchscreen the first time after reboot.

- Use your AT&T VNC client
or
- Use a client from http://tightvnc.org
or
- Use a java-capable browser

No.  Nothing besides that described above.

Did you configure IP networking on the 5600?  You need to do that.
If you can't figure out the address of the 5600 from your W2K desktop 
then you can always enter 'ipconfig' in a command line session.  The 
standard Zaurus address is 192.168.129.201.

I think the URL for a browser would be http://192.168.129.201:5800.
