Configuring VNC Server and client for the Remote Session
-
Have you looked at the Ubuntu VNC instructions yet?
-
Have you tested your Ubuntu server to see if your VNC server is listening?
Try using netstat -tulpn to see what connections are open and listening.
-
@Reid-Cooper I have tried it in ubuntu and it seems to be listening.Whether can I upload the screenshot for this?
-
A screenshot is fine.

@Reid-Cooper
This is screenshot of the netstat -tulpn -
Port 5900 is the standard for VNC. Looks like the server is already running. Have you verified that the firewall is open?
-
@Reid-Cooper Firewall is disabled now

Okay, that makes things easy. So now, from the VNC client on Windows XP, what is happening? You should only need to put in the IP address of the Ubuntu server there.

Why not just allow port 5900 through?
Now that you know that things are working, you should turn the firewall on and only allow port 5900.

@Reid-Cooper OK I have disabled my firewall and gave only the IP address for the system to be in remote

This makes no sense...enable the firewall and allow port 5900 in IPTables.
