How do I connect to the remote computer using NoMachine?
Prerequisites:
- - Ensure NoMachine is installed on both the local and remote computers. If you are going to connect using the Web browser on your device, you don't need NoMachine installed on your local computer. In that case, make sure that a product from the Enterprise family is installed on the target machine.
- - The private or public IP address of the target host.
-
- A user account on the target machine. Whenever you connect to a computer running NoMachine software, you must authenticate yourself to the host. That means you need to prove that you have the right to use the remote (host) computer by entering a user name and password that the computer recognizes i.e a system account.
Note: you don't need an account on the target desktop if you are connecting as a guest using the Guest Desktop Sharing feature. In that case, your connection must be approved by the desktop owner.
Connecting to a Remote Computer:
- - Open NoMachine on the local computer.
- - Insert the IP address of the machine you want to reach in the Search field.
- - Click Connect to establish a connection to the remote computer.
-
- Authenticate when prompted. Enter the authentication credentials for the remote computer in order to login. If you are connecting as a guest, wait to be authorized by the user already logged in to the desktop.
