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:

  1. The protocol used must be “RDP”, as “DRPv5″ will not work.
  2. 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.

"The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.
And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference."
