Remote virtual machines over RDP with VirtualBox on Ubuntu
Posted on February 4th, 2009 by Alejandro. Filed under Linux, Ubuntu.
Once you have enabled the built-in VRDP server in VirtualBOX, the rest is a straight forward RDP connection using the “Terminal Server Client” found under “Applications>Internet>”, except for the following two conditions:
- The protocol used must be “RDP”, as “DRPv5″ will not work.
- This is where everybody has problems. For the server address (Computer:) you should put the HOST’S IP address and NOT the guest’s ip as common sense would dictate.
