No, there is no firewalling by default. You can check this with
$ sudo iptables -L
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
(That output tells you everything is set to "ACCEPT" )
If you are using a router you might have to port-forward - assuming you
are connecting from outside the LAN.
Have you read the documentation I linked carefully?
Also check if the server is running on the Ubuntu box:
$ ps aux | grep vino
should show a line like
peter 7892 8.3 1.2 17024 6224 ? S 06:22
0:01 /usr/lib/vino/vino-server
--oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_RemoteDesktopServer --oaf-ior-fd=45
or
$ pidof vino-server
7892
That should show a number as above.
Also worth a try:
$ sudo netstat -nlp | grep vino
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5900 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN 7892/vino-server unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM
LISTENING 64798
7892/vino-server /tmp/orbit-peter/linc-1ed4-0-7e29fe2dc06d
As you see, it is listening on port 5900 . This is after checking the
relevant boxes in System-Preferences-Remote Desktop
