Hi guys I'm trying to connect the raspberry pi to a pc via internet bridge.
I have a rj45 port free (eth0): so I've set these settings:

Ipv4 Settings: Method Shared with other computers
Ipv6 Settings: Method Ignore
Ethernet: Mac address I have choose the eth0 mac address

After that I connect the raspberry pi to the pc via rj45 cable. I wait until the led are switched on. Then via shell I type this command

sudo nmap -sP 10.42.0.2-254

Where 10.42.0.x is the lan of my pc.
When I find the raspberry pi' ip I'm tryng to connect via xtightvncviewer I'm getting this error:

 xtightvncviewer: ConnectToTcpAddr: connect: Connection refused
 Unable to connect to VNC server

But if I try to connect via Putty it works perfectly.
Someone could explain what problem can cause this issue? Greets

What is this internet bridge? Does it need ports to be opened for VNC? – joan Jul 21 '14 at 7:47
For internet bridge I mean to connect pc and raspberry physical port via rj45 cable – Tinwor Jul 21 '14 at 7:58
I'm not familiar with VNC. Do you have a VNC server running on the Pi? What port does it use? – joan Jul 21 '14 at 9:22
