John,<br><br>You need to setup a port forward (or service) on the router connected to the network with the device you're trying to remote desktop to on. It sounds like you might have setup the port forward/service on the wrong router...<br>

I want to 'remote' from a laptop (Jaunty) to a netbook (jauntyNetbook Remix) . Remote
Desktop Viewer works OK when both laptop & netbook are connected to
the same router. However, no success when the laptop is connected to a
router linked to one ISP and netbook is connected to another router
linked to another ISP i.e. true remote connection. On Ubuntu Jaunty, there is no 'Only Allow Local Connections' checkbox and there is no Advanced tab (within System => Preferences => Remote Desktop). I've looked in gconf-editor's Desktop - Gnome - Remote Access parameters but with no success.<br>
<br> First router is UPNP
enabled and has Service on port 5900 with firewall rule for laptop LAN
ip address. Second router is UPNP enabled. In Firewall Configuration
(i.e. gui for gufw), I've allowed port 5900 incoming on laptop & netbook, using Firewall Configuration for ufw.<br>
<br>
I've tried ipaddress::5900 with ipaddress as first router address &
as second router address as shown by the routers' statuses and confirmed by <a href="http://www.whatismyipnumber.com" target="_blank">www.whatismyipnumber.com</a>: both give window stating connection was
closed..<br>
<br>
Is it a problem with Jaunty or what should I be using for Host in Remote Desktop Viewer? <br><br clear="all">Regards,<br>John<br>07894 211434<br><br>
