Hi All
Well yesterday I discovered the joys of SSH and have setup a place on my eeepc and on my main PC where I can drag n drop files between the two. Much better than using samba it seems :)
Any way I got carried away and looked into the remote desktop. I had it up and running in 2 minutes flat. However I can only do it one way.
I can use my eeepc with 8.10 OS to view and manipulate my PC with 8.04 OS.
I cannot get it to go the other way though IE. Use the PC to view the eeepc.
I can use terminal to ping the eeepc from the PC no problems at all. But It wont open up in the gui. any attempt opens vinagre and I get the;
Connection to host "x.x.x.x:5900" was closed.
Both computers are on a wireless network ssh works fine samba shares worked fine to. What may I be missing here?
regards
Fenris
