NoMachine for the Enterprise offers a range of Terminal Server products which provide access to virtual Linux desktops and applications on a single server. This is called running a "virtual desktop session". When running a virtual desktop session, you are connecting to your own personal Linux desktop, or connecting as a guest to another user's Linux desktop running on the same host.
Three things you need to do first:
Once installed on the host you want to connect to, NoMachine server will work out-of-the-box with no special configuration required. There are two ways to connect to this Linux host: over the internet or over a local network.
All NoMachine servers are advertized to NoMachine clients when both are on the same network. If this fits your scenario, now go to the device you want to connect from.
Your administrator should provide you with the hostname or IP address of the server you want to access. If you are responsible for the server, you can check its public IP address once you've installed the NoMachine server product. Open NoMachine from the Programs/Applications menu. In the first Welcome panel, the external IP address will be published (Fig. 1).
