VNC Ubuntu
in [Linux Networking]

From: solrpwr on 7 Feb 2006 21:10 I can VNC into my machine while in my own network. i.e. 192.168.2.... with VNC tight. But when I am outside my network I can't. I've opened port 5900 in my router settings, and I still can't. Am I missing some settings on the ubuntu side? Also, I am using the dhcp numbers from my provider, not my router settings i.p. Just so you know. Thanks for any assistance. Jeff
From: mike on 7 Feb 2006 23:34 Assuming the port forwarding is setup right, since it works on the inside network, it should work from the outside in. So, either the port forward is not setup correctly or your isp has some kind of firewalling turned on that is blocking the outside world from accessing port 5900 on your router.

From: solrpwr on 8 Feb 2006 02:39 I will open 5800 as well and give that a shot. Thank you!

I doubt opening 5800 will do the trick. I have ubuntu and vnc turned on and all I forward is port 5900 and it works like a charm. 5800 is if you want the java viewer. You might do a quick "netstat -l |more" and see what ports are open on your machine. It should have *:5900 listed there. |
