NoMachine does not listen to wifi network connection

[MountainAir]

I set up NoMachine on an Ubuntu MiniPC at home, and was able to use it via WiFi.  However, out in the field I use the MiniPC in a headless configuration (with an HDMI dummy plug to get video display).  I joined the MiniPC to the local WiFi network without difficulty, but I could not connect to it no matter what I did.  Eventually I plugged it into a spare router with ethernet and was able to connect.  From there I could see that NoMachine seemed to bind to the ethernet port, but not to the WiFi network connection (which was still active).  I was able to connect via Ethernet but not WiFi, even after rebooting the Ubuntu machine with no ethernet connected (so the only wireless connection was WiFi).

I’m a newbie when it comes to Ubuntu and NoMachine.  Is there something I’m missing about getting NoMachine to listen to inbound connections on ALL network connections?

Hi MountainAir,

In this case, maybe you can try to bind NoMachine connections by NX protocol to the WiFi network as explained here: https://knowledgebase.nomachine.com/FR09P03687
Let us know if this helps 🙂
