I do not think it is a Firewall issue.
Ubuntu seems to have its own version of "Desktop sharing" which works
fine, but you have to go into the (host) machine first, start it all up,
and when someone wants to share the desktop, you have to click a button
that allows them in.
When I used Mepis, I could telnet in, start vncserver, and then connect
from a remote machine without the need to go anywhere near the remote box.

As I could not make the meeting held in the Rugby club I cannot comment.
Needless to say access to the Internet, and a seemingly inexhaustible
supply of network points and mains sockets is a great advantage!!
If possible I would like help getting VNC running on Ubuntu! I have
tried VNC4server via Synaptic. It goes in OK, I have followed the
intructions I found, but still cannot get it to work!
Not something silly like firewall? VNC needs Port 5900 open.
Also, sorry, here's me jumping to conclusions, what exactly is not
working, the service not running or connection to the server not running?
As per meeting, me too, Im also planning to be at the next meeting,
never been to Rugby club, my first time was in More Solutions Workshop.
If theres enough room I'd like to bring my "Goliath" down, (full tower)
running Ubuntu Feisty, looking kinda sweet actually, just 2 issues, no
WLAN so running hardwired for now (but i know what to do to resolve
that), and also seems to have issues playing video files while in Beryl
mode, also noticed some windows "lock up" on me in Beryl Mode, as soon
as I go back to normal mode, its fine. Minor issues really but still,
its oh so much fun to play with.
Depends how much room is availiable I might just bring the tower and
borrow someone elses MKMPN* (if thats OK) for a few minutes just so we
can power it up breifly and have a play.
*Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Power, Network
Cheers
Richard
