I recommend the graphical interface. In any case be aware of the difference between the running config and the saved config. He does seem to have it running on the "localhost". But the status of "closed" makes me suspicious That there is another device/firewall between the client and server. Notice his client is connecting to 193.52.235.60. I say this since it has been my experience if a firewalld rule is blocking a connection it will show up as "filtered". For example, f32k is the server and meimei the client. Using ssh as the example server. With sshd running on the server and firewall open. PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp open ssh With sshd stopped PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp closed ssh And with sshd stopped and firewalld configured to disallow the sshd server PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp filtered ssh And, for completeness, with sshd running and firewalld configured to disallow the sshd server PORT STATE SERVICE 22/tcp filtered ssh I am wondering if he needs to add a "port forward" rule on 193.52.235.60 to connect to the "real" vnc-server behind a router's firewall. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
