To use VRDP of VirtualBox, it doesn’t listen the VRDP port.

Sjsim — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 06:47:37 +0000

Hi all,

I’m trying to do the VRDP service, and it doesn’t work.

My host OS is Windows XP professional, and VM is Windows XP, too.

I’ve set the port 9999 and it doesn’t seem to be opened.

So, I cannot connect with the port number.

I don’t think the port number is wrong.

I might did something wrong during installation the VirtualBox.(version is 4.0.2)

Have any idea??

Thanks.

I am new to VirtualBox and would like to know how I could configure the Guest to print using the Host printer. Both the Host and Guest is Win XP and the printer installed on host/guest is assigned to LPT1 (printer not networked).Will print test page from Host but not from Guest.
Thanks for any assistance.

Virtual Box Sharing Feature (Vista=Host, Kubuntu=Guest)

Infophilia — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 10:18:28 +0000

Dear IT KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE,

How can I set up a shared folder between a Windows Vista Host and a Kubuntu Guest?

I have seen many tutorials explaining the reverse (Host = Ubuntu, Guest = Windows).
I wish to understand more on cross-desktop sharing.
Thank you.

I will be setting up my new system in a couple of weeks. I’ll be running CentOS 5 on a quad core AMD Opteron. I’m going to run Windows XP as a guest OS, and possibly 1 or more Linux distros. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am currently considering Xen or Virtualbox, leaning towards Xen.
