Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 9.04, german version, all updates applied.
Having for a long time problems to connect with VNC from a windows XP
box to Ubuntu with "Entfernter Desktop" configured respectively, today I
had again a look at this tool and found, that (suddenly) in the
configuration panel there are some more informations given:
"Ihr Desktop ist nur über das lokale Netzwerk erreichbar. Auf Ihren
Rechner kann über die Adresse 192.168.1.30 , t30-ubuntu.local
zugegriffen werden."
As I never noticed this information before it was no wonder that I didn't
succeed in connecting to Ubuntu, since this PC has 2 network interfaces:
1. 192.168.0.30, a 10 Mbit connection to the LAN and to the internet
2. 192.168.1.30 a 100 Mbit connection to a peer box for enhanced file transfer.
Since the "official" network adress was this named in 1., and the given
node-name was t30, so opening VNC on the windows-system and entering
192.168.0.30 or "t30" couldnot connect.
Entering the IP given in 2. on the peer box succeeded in establishing an
VNC-session, but this doesn't work from other boxes on the LAN, beeing in the
192.168.0.-net: An address 192.168.1.30 cannot be found, since the net
192.168.1 exists only between Ubuntu and the peer box and none of them are
configured as routers.
I found no way to change the default-IP-address 2. to that one given in 1.
Furthermore, connection 2 is NOT configured in the network configuration
("Netzwerkverbindungen" "nm-connection-e"; Ubuntu found itself), there is only
for 1. an entry present (but in "Geräte - Netzwerkdiagnose" gnome-nettool there
is the 2. listed as "Ethernet-Schnittstelle (eth1) and 1. as "eth2").
