Im baffled by this.
I can ping from n900 to ubuntu laptop and visa versa. I can do it by only ip or ip+vnc port and I get a reply from both.
On the ubuntu laptop i have configured the remote desktop to allow connections. Then on the laptop i can open remote desktop viewer and connect to the same laptop using just the ip and i get to see my screen (like a loop).
Then on the n900 using either presence vnc or vnc viewer i cant connect. I start up presencevnc from xterm and connect to just my ip address, it then has the loading symbol for a couple of minutes and i get the following output:
Am i missing doing any sort of config on the n900? Am i doing something stupid?Code:/home/user # presencevnc Maemo applications must be run with the run-standalone.sh script! QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme. --------------------- trying init --------------------- "ConnectToTcpAddr: connect" "Unable to connect to VNC server" about to quit "Server not found."
My first time trying to vnc to ubuntu.
Code:
telnet a.b.c.d 5900

Laptop IP = 192.168.1.147
N900 IP = 192.168.1.217
Telnet on the N900 produced:
If i do the ip without a port it takes ages and then i get a connection timed out error.
Should I be starting up tightvncserver (i dont need to when the laptop connects to itself though). If i do nmap on the laptop i get this:
Not sure if thats any help.
Networking is not my strong point

Code:
kaos@laptop:~$ netstat -a -n | grep 5900 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5900 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 :::5900 :::* LISTEN

OMFG, i didnt think i had but ubuntu has one as default. Its working flawlessly now!
I cant find a gui for the firewall but i did this to disable it:
I'll have to research into how to configuring it so that i can keep it enabled and still allow vnc.
Thanks so much for your help rob1n. I appreciate it

This app works really nicely for me connecting to my Mac running OS X's strangely quirky native vnc implementation, which is a great thing 
I was wondering if it would be possible to have support for Mac keyboard shortcuts someday (ie: Apple/Command key)? That would be immensely appreciated!
