Trying to make a VNC connection from my LG android phone to one of my Linux computers

[Clive DaSilva]

Thanks for your comments guys. I guess we will just keep plugging away. On a
similar thread my TDBank  Android app stopped working when my version of
Android got upgraded to 2.2.2

Hello 

 

I read an interesting article in Issue 105 of the Linux user and developer
magazine, regarding connecting my Android cellphone to either of my Linux
computers. I first added x11vnc to my Ubuntu box, started the service and
disabled the firewall. I then added AndroidVNC to my Smartphone apps,
pointed the phone towards the ip address and port in the Ubuntu box
192.168.3.103:5900 and tried to connect but the connection keeps failing.
According to the article in the mag, and from similar threads (via Google) I
have done everything right. Not sure what I am missing.

 

Any ideas, folks ?
