Thank you!!!

I was trying to accomplish this for days. This is the only post telling me that I have to connect to the HOST’s IP (which makes sense, if I think about it).

Thanks a lot for the clarification.

Anyone thinking of using this shoul note that when I tried this a couple of months ago, it was not supported in the open-source branch of virtualbox

in my 3.1.6 it’s in the Settings under the Display section (left-side navbar) - there’s 2 tabs in there, Video and Remote Display. Obviously the latter is where the setting is located

What version of Vbox is required for RDP? I have 3.04 and there is no remote option in the GUI settings for the virtual machine. In screen shots I’ve seen it is right below “Shared Folders” but in mine “Shared Folders” is the last item in the list.

Make sure you install KPMS before Additions as I had the double mouse pointer.

I can not get this to work for the life of me. I am using 8.04 and VB 1.5.6. I have remote display enabled in the settings for the client. I have the port set to an alternate port (both in the settings for the client and for the XP machine. I opened the port on the ubuntu machine. Any help would be appreciated!

PS - Love the blog! Keep it up!

Has anyone tried to use vrdp to connect to a linux vm? When I do I get 2 mouse pointers. One is from the machine that I’m rdping from and the other is from the ubuntu vm.

Does anyone know how to resolve this so that when the rdesktop window is selected, there is only one mouse pointer?

Thanks
