With Ubuntu Linux (10+), how do I connect to remote to my machine from Windows
- by Berlin Brown
I tried to to remote into my Ubuntu machine. I enabled the setting on Ubuntu and that side seems to work.
But I get a connection time out when I use RealVNC on the Windows box.
I believe it is a firewall issue. I disabled the firewall for that application on Windows but I don't know how to check if the firewall is enabled on the windows machine.
I am on a local network with a router. Ideally, I would want to block that remote control port at the Internet level/router level but "enable" that port on the Windows box and the Ubuntu box.
How do I check those settings.
