I have tested this more extensively on my notebook (which does not suffer from this bug) and tested my reproducing steps... helas I cannot replicate the problem. Even on the troubled desktop, putting back the connection to automatic DHCP mode does not resolve the issue.
So I don't think the problem is related to static IP addressing, but something else. The only thing that differentiates my notebook than my desktop is that the notebook is loaded with a fresh copy of Ubuntu Natty 64 bits, whilst my desktop was upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 then to 11.04 (64 bits). I tried deleting vino configuration in my home folder, in gconf-editor, purging it and reinstalling it without success. Setting the bug status to invalid. ** Changed in: vino (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/770477 Title: [natty] Computer with public static IP is reachable only for localhost -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
