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

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 running plsqldeveloper on a windows xp virtual machine. (Created on a windows 7 box). When I start plsql developer on the virtual xp machine I type in a vallid Username/Password there are no Databases in the drop down list so I type in a valid database name then I get the following error: Sql*Net not properly installed OracleHomeKey: OracleHomeDir:. It appears to me that plsql developer cannot find the tnsnames.ora. It is this folder: C:oracleproduct10.2.0Client_2NETWORKADMIN folder along with sqlnet.ora. I don’t know what is wrong. Should tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora be placed in another folder? Please help with this urgent issue.

PPTP using Vodafone Ireland and EchoLife HG556a dsl router

Hi All,

I have started pulling my hair out over the last few nights and now have a bald patch on one side of my head…..
Ok not really but I feel like pulling my hair out, I have this problem you see, it is something I have been working on for a while just for fun.

I have a Windows Home Server in the spare room at home and it has all my user shares on it which works fine and I can RDP to and also use the web interface (no issues with the home server)

I also have a Windows Server 2003 std edition server which is a DC for my Domain (this is in the same room) now the DC also hosts two virtual machines. machine 1 is XP Pro and machine 2 is server 2003 with exchange installed. I can ping and RDP to any of these machines while i am on the LAN

All Computers above have static IP addresses inside the LAN but have 1 Dynamic public IP which is mapped using DYNDNS

This is where the issue is

I cannot for the life of me get PPTP working
I set up PPTP from my work to my home using these settings
(not real details but close)

On my router I opened ports
1723 to 192.168.1.50——server-2003-DC
41 to 192.168.1.50——server-2003-DC
On the DC I switched the firewall off and there is no AV

from work

connect to hostname or IP address

compufixdublin.webhop.net (translates to my public Dynamic IP)

Type of Connection
PPTP VPN

Do not use default gateway on remote network
Use Default Gateway on Remot Network
(I selected both of these but none work)

Please help as I really need a good nights sleep at this stage!!!
