Thanks dude

works fine for me, just tried it to make sure,

i have 
vino-serv
running on 5900 on my linux-mint DE box, and ip and port into AndroidVNC,
works great.
If you are going to a private local ip (you are), you need to be on wifi, if
on mobile net, that will not work of course, you would need to go do your
public IP (of modem) and do port forward on your router, i wouldn't advise
that, unless use knock or vpn.

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 ?
