I'd like to use NoMachine to access my F11 box at home. Currently I'm tunneling VNC over SSH to do so, but it would be nice to have one app to do it all. I'm afraid I'm not very good at reading page after page of generic instructions. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good "how-to" for setting up NoMachine on Fedora?
Thanks!
nomachine works right out of the box, if you use the three packages below on both computers. Just download ;
nxclient nxnode nxserver
and install on both computers , nxclient, nxnode, nxserver and the keys will be auto generated will be the same for both computers.
The Work Computer, configure the login window(client) with host IP (your home computers IP) Desktop is Unix, KDE , Display on mine is set to 1024x768 , no encryptions .
If your going to connect to your computer from work, before you leave home goto http://getip.com and get the Internet IP for your home computer and put it in the login Window on your work computer, with the settings above. Check every couple of days to see if your home computer IP has changed by your ISP..
If your going to have a different setup (program) on your work computer , your going to have to put the generated keys on your home computer (Server) into the computer at work.
The user name,password, IP for your computer will have to be put in configure on the work computer(client) work computer.
And finally there are no setting in Nomachine that have to be change on either computer.
If you have a different "client" program on your work computer, Good Luck on getting the setup between the two computers.
I don't know if you can install any third party programs on your computer at work, and if you can't , GOOD LUCK.
If you use a Router in front of your home computer, the Router will have to have "Port Forwarding" to your computer in it's setup. If you do not use a Router, then no change has to be made, JUST be SURE that SSHD is running on both Computers.
I have never been successful in installing NXfree in Fedora, of any version. That is why I prefer to use NoMachine. The only drawback to NoMachine it will only connect to TWO different computers at the Server end. But that is not a problem for you if your using just one home computer.
