Well, having VNC over the local network working, I'm trying out the next steps; getting it working from the outside internet (so I can access my home machine during the installfest from my laptop) and securing it via ssh.
I've been reading up, and went through this tutorial: http://www.realvnc.com/support/portforward.html to set up my router (a bit of a pain, this particular D-link only allows for 10 virtual servers, and the tutorial asked for 3!). Got it up and running, and ran the test link (http://www.realvnc.com/cgi-bin/nettest.cgi) provided, and it's hanging, the connection times out. Same thing happens when I try and run vncserver using my outside IP. So I know something's not getting through. I have ports 5500, 5800 and 5900 allowed on my firewall (software) and set on my router, so I'm not sure why I'm getting that issue. For the record, the server is running on my Ubuntu Linux desktop, and I'm accessing primarily from a Ubuntu laptop, as well as Windows desktops. This is my first post on the list, it was recommended by Mike Miller from Twin Cities Linux User's Group.
