UMPC Universal Remote

I have a Raon Digital Everun

http://www.raondigital.com/fnt_english/ev01.asp

and am wondering if there's a way to set it up to act as a universal remote. I've seen a few things like BT remote and Netremote but I'm not sure if there's a better way of doing that.

If I could remotely connect to my desktop on my HTPC through something like VNC I think I could just set up a USB-UIRT or my MCE remote blaster to send the remote signals when instructed to and I could access GBPVR without turning on the TV to play music and things like that. Part of the problem though is that the Raon only has wifi and bluetooth. I have a wired network. I'm happy with said wired network as well so I'm not really planning on switching to wifi anytime soon. Especially since I use an HD Homerun and think it would be troublesome to try and use over wifi.

The Raon does have Bluetooth though is there any way to do this by adding a bluetooth adapter on my HTPC or would I be better off just getting a wifi switch or something just for the TV room? Also, does anyone else have anything like this on a UMPC or laptop? Any ideas would be cool. Thanks in advance.

remote desktop should work
but you will need a network connection so you will need a wifi adapter or dongle for your htpc
look up adhoc lets you connect just 2 computers rather than a proper network
although a wifi router would b`e the easiest best solution

I just got an access point off of ebay for $6. Has no power cord so it may not even be a functioning device but for $6 I'll give it a try. Now I wonder if I can program the buds on the MCE receiver/blaster to send out signals to my various AV equipment of if I'll need a USB-UIRT.
