Connect to Ubuntu from Win 7 on home lan and run a Ubuntu application

Hi

To 04it040

That really works well - I have never tried that before and boom! it connects first time over my LAN without a hitch.  

That's perfect - I had used VNC before but never knew it was that simple over UBUNTU as well (had used it over Windows before).

That's great help - thanks very much, you have taught me something very valuable this morning.

Your welcome.  :)

Hi

To alexbumbacea

Thanks for that input - I ran into some problems installing the app as it said I had to enable a printing command but then that command would not execute.  

However I read on a post that this application really is an excellent, first class application and well worth downloading so if I get the chance I will try again and let you know how it goes shortly.

Thank you

Philip

Hi again

To alexbumbacea

I managed this time to download and run the three executables OK using the instructions given at

http://www.nomachine.com/download-package.php?Prod_Id=1888

followed by the commands as given

 # sudo dpkg -i nxclient_3.4.0-7_i386.deb
  # sudo dpkg -i nxnode_3.4.0-11_i386.deb
  # sudo dpkg -i nxserver_3.4.0-12_i386.deb

which seemed to work.

Now I trawl through this document to configure it next, is this correct???

Thanks again

You don't need to configure anything...
Just install the client program on your windows machine... and connect to the ip with a valid username/password combination

Hi Rindi

Thank you for that proposal; I agree and many thanks to both gentleman Alex and Abhinav for their solutions.
