SSH and VNC acces problems

Fede.mac · 08-08-2008, 01:32 AM

Hi, i'm new in linux, i'm from argentina, so my english is't very good :P
Well, my problems : I've a Debian with Gnome machine, i enable the remote desktop option, but i can't conect to it from my PC, the same with SSH.
My Debian machine is connected to a router via 100/10 Ethernet, and the PC via 802.11g. Is there something i'm missing? or it could be a network problem? btw i'm using putty for SSH and TightVNC Viewer for VNC

Thank you

Is iptables configured and blocking service ?

iptables -L

Is SSHd running?

netstat -al --tcp

Hi

iptables -L

Code:

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

and netstat -al --tcp

Code:

Seems to be that SHH isn't running, how do i launch it? is not in /etc/init.d/

Is the server package installed? I'm not sure about Debian, but could be openssh-server

It is indeed openssh-server on Debian.

Fede.mac - you need to ensure you have ssh or vnc server installed and running. If it's a new install of Debian Etch (if I remember correctly) neither of them is there by default.

Awasome, SSH is up and running

Now, what about VNC? What is the name of the package?

There are a few vnc servers. Try Tightvnc (package name - tightvncserver). Obviously you'll need a vnc viewer on a client machine.
