I tried to enable vnc viewing of my gnome3 session. I enabled the options in vino-preferences with the network autoconfiguration option but when i try to connect with a vnc client from my winxp laptop it does not work. Any idea ? Thanks Eric

Did you open the necessary ports in the firewall?

To test i have disabled the firewall with the same result. Eric

Personally, I don't trust that as a test.
The way I test, if a vnc client fails to connect, it (from the remote host) "telnet vncserver port#". Where port# is the port the server is connected. Most of the time, for me, it is 5901.
The one thing you didn't mention is....what error are you getting at the client side?
Also, FWIW, I don't use "vino". I stick with tigervnc.

Ok but i don't know the vnc server port. I tried telnet vncserver 5901 and i obtained a timeout. Client side i just obtain : failed to connect to server (ip address). I use TightVNC client under Winxp. Eric

According to a google search, vino-server uses 5900 as the default port.

Same problem with the 5900 port.

Instead of guessing and googling why not just check what port it's running on? ;-)
netstat -planet | grep vino
Fwiw remote desktop using vino (via Actions->Remote Desktop) is working just fine here (modulo a few glitches with the visuals over vnc but it's still usable).
Regards, Bryn.
