I am not able to connect to a 14.04 system from another 14.04 system using Vinagre Remote Desktop Viewer when not on the same network.

I am also not able to connect to this computer when the target is booted from a 12.04 Live CD. I can connect to a third computer using the same LAN cable and booted from the same 12.04 Live CD.

I am able to ping the IP address that is revealed by googling "What is my IP" I am able to connect by clicking find when connecting from Vinagre while using the same network. (Control on WiFi from same modem as Target on Ethernet)

I have tried turning off encryption with dconf org > gnome > desktop > remote-access > require-encryption=FALSE

I have tried installing x11vnc.

When other computers work I click connect and am asked for a password. When this computer fails to connect, I do not get the password request and the screen remains black until it times out and says "Connection closed Connection to xxx.xx.xxx.xxx was closed."

I would be very grateful for any suggestions.
