I have two Linux machines - a Tosh Satellite using 10.04 Desktop and a Tosh

I'm trying to use Vinagre to remote desktop to my Netbook from the Satellite
In the Connect dialog, if I click on Find it doesn't find anything, if I
enter the computer name (gordon-netbook) it just tells me "connection closed"
Is there something I have to enable on the Netbook, or what? (The "Help"
is particularly UN helpful....)
Hi Gordon,
On the target machine select "system --> preferences --> remote
desktop" to allow users to connect

That option isn't there.
Neither is it on the Satellite either.
Hi, that dialog is run by the command "vino-preferences" go to the
software centre and search for "vino" it should find "Remote Desktop"
is it installed?

That solved the missing menu item - I still get the "connection
closed" while trying to access the Netbook, even after setting the
Remote Desktop preferences.
Hi Gordon,
Perhaps your router or local firewalls on your machines are not allowing
connections on the port that vnc is using. A quick google shows port
5900. Perhaps you need to install the app on both machines in case
theres some library dependencies?
