Enable Remote Desktop (Screen Sharing) on Ethernet While Wifi Is Connected to Internet

I have a Ubuntu server connected to internet using WiFi. It is connected to another Windows computer via Ethernet. I setup internet sharing on Ubuntu box using iptables method from here . Problem is if I am connected to WiFi as primary connection, vino VNC server cannot be enabled to use Ethernet to share screen. I am able to ping the Ubuntu box from windows and access shared folder. Is there any way to enable vino with this configuration or may be another VNC server that would support it? I tried to install a different VNC server but, I couldn't get it to work yet.
