Q:
How to connect to vmware workstation 6.5 guests over VNC over internet
Ubuntu, VMware Workstation 6.5, VNC, Internet, Static IP address
Ok, this seems like it should be simple right. I have a server running ubuntu 9.04 and I can VNC into it over the local domain, local ip, and even over the internet using the static ip address. On this server I also have vmware workstation 6.5 running with several VMs. I have remote desktop viewing enabled, ports set and it works like a champ over local domain and local IP. The second I try to VNC into a VM over the Internet using the static ip address I can't seem to get much of anything. What am I missing. I don't care about SSH yet as I'm just working on the proof of concept. I'll worry about security once it's actually possible to log in remotely.

To access this VNC connection over the internet, you must specify the port in addition to the IP address and ensure that the port is addressable through your router/firewall. If VNC is using port 5900 and your public IP address is 69.45.1.56. You would specify 69.45.1.56:5900. If connecting with VNC, it should know the port and in this case you do not have port 5900 opened in your firewall. If you use a linksys router this is specified in the applications settings.

Good luck!

Do you have that port forwarded from your router to your internal IP?
