You can even assign multiple “names” to one IP address (ideal when you’re running a local webserver but you have several virtual hosts on one server). Or in other words: in my router I can make an “alias” that translates to the desired IP address. I use DD-WRT on my router, which offers DNSMasq. Your router has to resolve the name properly, which is done differently for each router. Note : if you really need Copy/Paste functionality between the two machines, then please use Ubuntu’s default installed “Desktop Sharing” instead (MacOS X users read this forum post). This seems related to 3D acceleration and nobody seems to care (since 2011, according to bug reports).

Since Ubuntu 12.10 (if I’m not mistaken), xRDP doesn’t seem to work with the Ubuntu desktop anymore … unless you use an alternative desktop manager. This is where xRDP comes in play, an open source remote desktop protocol (RDP) server. It actually runs VNC protocol over RDP as far as I understand, yet if behaves much better than VNC by itself (possibly because of the used desktop manager). So how can we use RDP to control our Ubuntu box remotely? RDP is however a proprietary protocol from Microsoft. VNC has this streak of “JPEG” quality and slow behavior, whereas RDP is fast and crystal clear.

To remotely control my Windows machines, I always prefer to use RDP ( Remote Desktop Protocol) as it performs much nicer than VNC ( Virtual Network Computing).
