Let's say I went to:
System > Preferences > Remote Desktop
And enable Remote Desktop. Now let's say I have another machine on the network that is also running a VNC server. I want to VNC into my network from the outside, but I need each VNC server to be running on different ports.
How can I change Ubuntu's default port for Remote Desktop/VNC?

Using a little information from the (now dead) Dave's Tech Blog, you can adjust the port setting by going into
gconf-editor
.Under
desktop > gnome > remote access
there is a key that saysalternative_port
and is set to5900
. Just change the value to what you need. Then enable the keyuse_alternative_port
.The other option is if your router/firewall support uPnp you can adjust Vino to make the adjustment in the same section of
gconf-editor
.
