My computer is on a private IP and my server, which is also the firewall, has 2 NICs. The Desktop Sharing tries to attach itself to the public nic rather than the private. This might be part of my problem. ?????
Are you sure about that? When I launch it, it attaches to "all available NICs"
Nope, not sure at all. I just tried it and it worked fine. The problem was I had to be on the other side (I had to vnc already) so that I could accept the invitation.
Isn't there another way so I don't have to accept an invitation?
Control center -> internet -> desktop sharing -> allow uninvited connections. But be sure you protect it with a firewall.
Also - what's the difference between using vnc and using desktop sharing?
Not much, desktop sharing *is* vnc, it's just integrated into kde so you get to use kded to listen for incoming connections instead of vncserver. Apart from that it's pretty much the same as the vnc server for the primary desktop with the weird name that I don't recall right at this moment
