Hi

I have Ubuntu 10.10 on a pc connected to my TV. I would like to be able to use remote desktop on this from another pc, so i enable Remote Desktop and apply the settings i need, but it says its only available through local network and to connect with the name localhost.

When i try and connect to the computers IP address from other computers with Ubuntu 10.10 on local network, it says it cannot find the server.

I have a firewall configuration program installed and have enabled VNC and the appropriate port(s)

Anyone able to help?
