Before I go back to working in an office instead of working at home, I am trying to come up with a good remote access solution. Chrome Remote Desktop does work, but I only like it as a solution of last resort.
I cannot get native vnc or screen sharing to connect on my local network to my hackintosh, but my hack can connect to my other devices (mac mini, macbook pro) and my other macs can connect to each other. Here is what I have done/tested, so far:
- Internet and local network access to other device work fine
- Handoff / Continuity features work
- No 3rd party network security firewall software is installed
- Confirmed firewall off
- Confirm Screen Sharing is on
It looks like something is blocking all inbound traffic to my hackintosh, not just Screen Sharing. To test this theory, I:
- Setup static IP
- Confirmed netmask and gateway addresses are correct and on the same network as other devices
- Confirmed ports open using Network Utility from hackintosh
From any other device on my network
- Cannot ping (wired or wireless) the hackintosh IPs from another device
- No open ports using Network Utility on the hackintosh IPs from another device
- Can see hackintosh in Finder from another device
You lot have any suggestions/ideas?
