Here is the Problem: I have two computers connected in the same LAN.

I am trying to access one computer from another using Remote Desktop Viewer, I am able to see the remote desktop.

But when i click on any thing or perform any action, I dont see the result but the action is performed on the remote desktop..But it is not refreshed on the remote desktop screen..

For Ex: 1) Opened Remote Desktop viewer 2) Connected to the other computer which has yahoo home page opened 3) Clicked on the close button of the web page 4) Action is performed on the other computer (Yahoo page is closed). 5) On Remote Desktop screen i still see the Yahoo home page 6) Whatever action i perform on remote desktop screen i see the same screen(In this case yahoo home page)

Bottom line: Whatever screen i see on the start up of Remote Desktop viewer that is not getting refreshed.

So the thing is though i am able to perform actions on remote desktop, the screen is not refreshing..

How do i solve this?

I hope i made my point clear..

NOTE: I am connecting to Ubuntu 9.04 machine from Ubuntu 10.04LTS.. I am really not sure if that makes any difference.
