Fedora Networking :: Port 22 - Connection Refused - Can't Use "Remote Desktop Viewer 2.31.4" To Vnc
Mar 1, 2011
Friday night I was working on some networking stuff between my two Fedora 14 boxes. I have my laptop and my desktop. on both machines I have "system-config-firewall 1.2.27" and "iptables" (i believe both come standard on F14?) I kept getting the same message as seen below before realizing perhaps I should check my firewall!
I added a rule for incoming and outgoing traffic on port 22 and was able to get in with no problems at all! however today I can't ssh into anything... I can't use "Remote Desktop Viewer 2.31.4" to vnc into the machine anymore. I can't remember the exact error message at this time, it's something close to "Connection was terminated" or "Unable to connect" I can update this message later.
last night I foolishly uninstalled the system-config-firewall and then uninstalled iptables to see if it was a simple firewall issue.... totally hosed my system <insert smiley!>
After reinstalling and realizing I didn't backup my documents <insert smiley!...again...> I started reinstalling all of my applications. I'm still unable to use ssh and I've tried to ssh my own computer.
Is this possible?
# ssh 127.0.0.1
ssh: connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 22: Connection refused

I'm trying to connect with my server via telnet, but when i sent the command (telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Port) doesn't works and shows then follow error: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused, It happens with any port. Is strange but my telnet services works (telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx), In addition, i tried with firewall enabled and disabled and the problem still happens. My centOS run on virtualbox.

I have my desktop computer (running F13) configured to accept ssh over port 22 via the firewall configuration tool. If I type ifconfig -a, this computer, which is running on my wireless network, tells me:
Code:
inet addr:192.168.1.100 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
However, if I go to my laptop computer (also running F13) and try and ssh into the desktop, i.e. ssh icthy@192.168.1.100, I get this response:
Code:
ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.100 port 22: Connection refused.
I guess I am confused to what is blocking the connection? Is there another means on F13 other than the default Firewall? I haven't really messed with the network at all. For what it's worth, I am hoping to set things up so I can just ssh into the computer name, (ssh icthy@desktop) eventually, but want to start with the IP. So, can anyone offer a hint as to what I can look for that is blocking port 22?

is it possible in the standard remote desktop viewer in Fedora 14 to use RDP instead of VNC protocol? I know that Ubuntu provides this feature. I already installed tsclient and rdesktop but that didn't help.Before you say I have to use VNC: I know... I am just curious how I can set up RDP to connect to Windows based machines.

I have my main box, Ubuntu 10.04lts, and I am trying to use remote desktop viewer to see the desktop on a Windows XP machine. The machines are side by side The Ubuntu box is hardwired to my network router, and the XP machine is connected via wireless. Both get to the internet fine, and I can ping the Ubuntu box from the XP box. But, I cannot ping the XP box from the Ubuntu box, and Remote Desktop Viewer won't establish a connection to the VNC server I have running on the XP box.

I get a connection refused error whenever I attempt to connect to a remote ssh server, I tried the test at and it says outbound ssh port 22 is not being blocked. I'm wondering what else could be the problem.

having a port 22:connection refused problem with SSH. None of what I have read has been what I have been experiencing, so I figured I would post here. The worst that could happen is this gets completely ignored, or I am told that there is already a solution, that I missed it, and directed to it. Here is my problem:
Just learned how to ssh into my machine a few days ago. Everything has been running smoothly until I ran into a little problem: all of a sudden I can't connect anymore. I have sshd-server installed and updated. I have sshd turned on
Code:
/sbin/service sshd start
And I even ran:
Code:
/etc/init.d/sshd start
Because I was told that it would start ssh from boot. Nothing has changed from today and yesterday and I haven't been having problems with port 22 being blocked.
I have also tried to ssh into the machine by the machine itself:
Code:
ssh <IP of machine>
with the same error.

I cannot use GRsync from Ubuntu Desktop to PCLinuxOS laptop.The 2 computers can ping each other. I have disabled both firewalls. My laptop IP address is 192.168.1.11This is the error on Ubuntu Grsync:
ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.11 port 22: Connection refused
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(601) [sender=3.0.7]
Rsync process exit status: 12
On PCLinuxOS it wont say Ethernet is connected when trying a static address setup.However it does connect to the internet via auto Ethernet setup and a LAN cable. It then says connected. In order to use SSH and GRsync what programs are required? I have these installed on both machines: grsync openssh-client openssh-server

I have a local network in which are two boxes. The first one has Fedora 8 installed and updated regularly and runs an Apache2 webserver. It also has vnc-server activated.
The second one had Fedora 10 installed along with a vnc viewer so that I could access the first box from this one. The first box has the VNC host name of 192.168.1.67:5.
I had had no problem with this VNC setup until I replaced Fedora 10 with Fedora 12. Initially I was happy to find Remote Desktop Viewer had been installed as part of default installation ( Application > Internet ). But it did not take too long before I got disappointed that this thing failed to work.
No sooner had I connected to the remote box than Fedora 12 kills X-server and logs out displaying a login screen. It seems as if I had killed X-server by issuing a keystroke of CTL-ALT-Backspace, which has apparently been disabled in Fedora 12.
Edit: By the way, I am still able to connect to the Fedora 8 box from a Windows Vista box via TightVnc viewer.

I have Lynx, trying to connect to a tightvnc server on a Win7 box on my LAN.
Server IP: 192.168.1.42:5900
The remote desktop window just goes black and pops up a dialog saying connection closed every time.However VNC works fine as I installed xtightvncviewer as an alternative and that connects, and I can view the Win7 desktop and control it and do everything you would expect.
I've also tried connecting using Android VNC viewer from my phone on my LAN and that also works fine so it appears to be an issue with Remote Desktop Viewer.Incidentally using R.D.V. on Intrepid into a tightvnc server on my old XP box worked fine.

Have Ubuntu Hardy--- when using remote desktop viewer I log in to remote machine ok, but the screen stays at the first view and won't update. I can move the cursor on the remote machine, get into apps or folders but the remote screen won't update.
The remote machine is Ubuntu Lucid. When I use the Lucid machine to log into the Hardy machine, all is well.

I have 4 boxes on a local network: 2 with XP only, 1 with Ubuntu 9.10 only, and 1 with both. All boxes can share folders, set up with share-admin instead of using Nautilus right-click properties for each folder. I can see and control the remote desktops on all boxes, to all other boxes, from all other boxes,with one exception: I can only access the XP desktop on the dual boot box, not the Ubuntu desktop. When I try I get: "Connection to host 192.168.1.102 was closed." I am refused access to the Ubuntu desktop in this manner from both the other Ubuntu machine, and from both XP machines.
My setups are basically plain vanilla with routine installs of Ubuntu 9.10. On the XP machines I am using TightVNC on the XP machines to view both other XP desktops, and the Ubuntu desktop that is accessible. On both Ubuntu setups I am using (I suppose) vino and vinagre, and have completely re-installed what I think is the relevant software. There is no firewall running on the Ubuntu dual boot, when I check ufw. For reasons I cannot determine the inaccessible Ubuntu desktop is not providing its own address but instead in the Remote Desktop config dialogue it identifies itself as 27.0.0.1 which I think is the loopback id. I know so little about this sort of networking that I am not giving all relevant info, but I still thought I'd try.

I can telnet (while on the actual machine) using
Quote:
telnet localhost 25
When I try and use the local machine's ip
Quote:
telnet 192.168.100.9 25
I get
Quote:
Trying 192.168.100.9...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[Code].....
This last one is strange as I the IP looks odd.
What I am doing wrong, and how do I fix it. After much surfing many mosts say that telnet is not used anymore but I want to use it to test my smtp server.

I have installed ubuntu 11.04 and I'm now trying to connect to existing SUSE servers on the LAN. My home directory has a shared NFS mounted home on the SUSE servers while my home on the ubuntu machine is local. I can log in using ssh to all the SUSE servers except one. I get:
ssh: connect to host srv3 port 22: Connection refused
If I use the IP address of srv3 directly it works. Also, before I changed the default machine name ("ubuntu") I could log into srv3.
nslookup srv3 works OK.
ping srv3 works OK.
Even if I completely delete the .ssh directory in both my ubuntu home and in my shared home on the SUSE servers I still cannot log in using the srv3 name, only direct IP address works. I'm thinking that the login I did to srv3 before I changed the machine name for the ububtu machine must have goofed up something

I have succeeded in using Remote Desktop Viewer to make a VNC connection to a remote WAN computer and it was quick enough to manipulate the remote computer in real time.I found the host name by getting the remote target computer to put the following url into a browser - http://www.showmyip.com/ - It returned the address for the router which I put into the Host: text entry box in the Remote Desktop Viewer window. E.g. for my computer at the time of submitting my enquiry the address was 'host81-129-54-226.range81-129.btcentralplus.com'.The remote router that I connected to needed to have the port 5900 forwarded to the remote target computer.I now want to progress to running VNC through a SSH tunnel for additional security. In the Remote Desktop Viewer there is a configuration line
'use host' <text box to enter host name> 'as a SSH tunnel'.What is the correct syntax to enter in the text box? It would help my understanding if you used the example address above as a basis for a response.Many unexpected connection attempts reported on my router, if that was you, thank you for the novel way in responding to the question and providing the syntax.The 'bible' on syntax appears to be found here:- http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?ssh+1

My home linux box is behind a Linksys WRT110 router. I have enabled the Remote Desktop from System-->Preferences-->Remote Desktop. I then run TightVNC from my WinXP box. As I wish to run a secure connection, my first obstacle comes from PuTTY.
In PuTTY, my settings are as follows:
Host Name(or IP address) Port
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 22
SSH-->Tunnels:
[code]....
I recieve "Network error: Connection refused" I have gleened all of this information from other boards and tutorials. I know there is something critical that I am missing.

I have recently installed fedora 14 and configured vpn to access my work network. I need to access some windows machines which although I can ping I cannot remote desktop into. When I go to Applications>Internet> Remote Desktop Viewer and put in the machine name (either just the machine name or the FQDN including the domain name) I get an error "Connection to <machinename> was closed".

Ok, a bit of a backround. I am a recent Ubuntu user and made the switch to Fedora being utilized as a server. I am trying to move to a new MUD(text based D&D type game) codebaseI have gotten my code compiled and executed the startup script. The process shows in the ps ux list. As the game it set up it uses port 7500. As the script running I get a "Connection Refused" error when trying to telnet to port 7500. Upon using nmap, I show only my SSH port open (the only daemon I have installed currently) yet no port 7500 open.
I believe this to be an issue somewhere in Fedora as I've had no issue on Ubuntu with past MUD codebases.I have disabled the firewall within Fedora and still no luck. Please bare with me as I'm new to fedora's intricacies.Short Story for those that hate reading long winded posts: A port that should be open by acript known to work on other distro's doesn't seem to open the called port using Fedora

I have become convinced that rsync for CentOS 5 is broken. I'm trying to set up automatic backups between 2 servers in 2 different countries using rsync under CentOS 5.I can get manual backups to work between the 2 servers by doing two things I shouldn't need to do, but automatic backups fail and I see no solution.Here are the problems I am encountering: According to the instructions I've read everywhere, I am to set up two configuration files:
/etc/rsyncd.conf
/etc/rsyncd.secrets
When I run rsync from root, it apparently just totally ignores these two files. No custom greeting, no log, no password used.
Even when I specify --password-file=/etc/rsyncd.secrets in the command line, it still ignores it. I am prompted and I must enter the password manually. Let me back up a moment. After first installing rsync, when I ran any command to access the root server, I get this error:
ssh: connect to host 111.222.33.44 port 22: Connection refused
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(463) [sender=2.6.8]
I read everywhere that rsync uses port 873, not port 22 which is used for SSH. Why is rsync on CentOS trying to use port 22?I have SSH switched from port 22 to another port (let's call it 5432 here) and block port 22.So, I have added this to the command line:
--rsh='ssh -p5432'
Then I get a connection ...
... but it prompts me for my password. It doesn't matter that I have my username and password, same one, in /etc/rsyncd.secrets on both servers. It still asks.And it rejects my password!The only way I can get it to connect is by creating an SSH user on the remote server for this.Even then, rsync STILL prompts me for a password, even though:
1. the username and password are specified in the /etc/rsyncd.secrets files on both servers
2. I've added the command line parameter --password-file=/etc/rsyncd.secrets Therefore, it is totally impossible to use an any cron job or other automatic synchronization, under CentOS 5.
rsync -av --password-file=/etc/rsyncd.secrets --rsh='ssh -p5432' sourcefiles* rsyncusername@111.222.33.44:httpdocs/rsync
rsync -av --password-file=/etc/rsyncd.secrets --rsh='ssh -p5432' sourcefiles* 111.222.33.44:httpdocs/rsync
rsync -av --verbose --progress --stats --password-file=/etc/rsyncd.secrets --rsh='ssh -p5432' sourcefiles* rsyncusername@111.222.33.44:httpdocs/rsync
Yes, I have made sure that I have the latest rsync. I have run yum update for everything.Yes, I have double checked, triple checked, and quadruple checked my config files.

I have machine that I used to VNC to on my network with Remote Desktop Viewer from my Fedora 12. When I first connected I checked the checkbox that I wanted to store the pw. Now the pw on the other machine has changed but Remote Desktop Viewer does not ask for a new password, it just gives me a black screen, like I am connected but I can't see anything. I'd like to know if anyone knows where this pw data is stored on the system so I can start fresh. I already tried uninstalling Remote Desktop Viewer and installing it again.
