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..
They do... that's why I use No-Ip.info and run the auto-update script on my machine. Typically, have to wait no more than about 30 minutes before I can get back in when they change my IP. :-)
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.
Hmm... maybe that's what the problem was. I didn't put in any keys. But I did put in my login name and password for my linux box. I also put in the custom port number I have SSH running on. Do I *have* to connect on port 22? I had a TON of brute-force connection attempts before I changed to a non-standard port number.
The user name,password, IP for your computer will have to be put in configure on the work computer(client) work computer.
Assuming it's the regular login password that I use on the local console at home?
And finally there are no setting in Nomachine that have to be change on either computer.
Good to know.
If you have a different "client" program on your work computer, Good Luck on getting the setup between the two computers.
Ok. I'll give NoMachine another shot.
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.
No problem. I currently log in via SSH and start VNC Server manually.
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.
Yeah... No problem here... although it would be nice to be able to connect to my wife's Windows machine too. :-)
Ok. I just reinstalled everything on both machines... NX is telling me "The NX service is not available or the NX access was disabled on host..." Any idea what's going on?
