Desktop sharing doesn't work in 8.4.

[Giak]

I am using TightVNC to connect. I've checked that it is enabled, but I just can't contact the machine. It does not require the Ubuntu box to aproove the remote control. It worked in 7.10 but just doesn't in 8.04. Any idea what's wrong?

are you trying to connect via LAN or from the internet?

Lan.

do you use firestarter or any such program? it could be blocking incoming connections!!

im having trouble also, connecting to a remote system, not LAN.

No I have not installed any firewalls, unless it is not in the default install I have no firewall.

I found out the problem was that I had disabled internet logins, even though I log in with the internal name for the computer using a physical LAN computer.
