Other than that I don't use VRDP and can't help.

It's good to know that I shouldn't do that. But I didn't do it in this case.

I run a Win XP guest on a Win XP host. I corrupted a file & had to recreate it in VirtualBox. Basically, I went back to the console, pressed "new", gave it a title agan, RAM usage, etc. & selected the drive which had already been created. I did not reinstall . However VRDP stopped ...

I've forwarded several ports in my guest Ubuntu http server. I previously didn't care which port it would be, so I forwarded 22 to 2222 for SSH & 21 to 2121 for FTP, etc... However I would like to forward port 80 to 80 for HTTP. However I find that when I forward it in the same way, it doesn't w...

Did you try giving the forwards their own number? natpf1,natpf2,natpf3,natpf4 instead of all of them trying to use the same name? Hmm, so I tried a few things. I did rename them to 1,2,3,4,etc. I also realized that the "--" before modifyvm was incorrect. However even when the command prom...

I ran the following four commands to open up my FTP, SSH, Telnet & SMTP ports. However when I went to test Telnet & SSH with ports 2222 & 2323 it didn't work. Each command did create a command window which speedily processed some infromation & closed itself. My guest is Ubuntu 11.04 ...

That's easy enough. Thanks

I've read the documentation on port forwarding & I'm not sure how to make that work in Windows. Right now, the command that I have for my Linux guest is "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxHeadless.exe" --startvm Ubuntu Would I then run the command again & type something like t...

Ahh, that's new. Thanks, it works well now.

I used Virtualbox a while back & VRDP worked fine. Recently, I installed the newest version onto a new computer & tried again. However, this time it doesn't work. I do have VRDP turned on & the port is set correctly. I've even installed guest additions, yet I can't connect. Does anyone k...

I have now, but the effect is the same. Are there any other options/ideas?

Bump. Any help?

I have a Windows XP Host and a Windows XP guest OS. I would like to use two USB printers from the Virtual Machine. One is a UPS Thermal 2844 and the other is a FedEx LP 2844. They're pretty much identical. http://www.u2xs.com/temp/vboxhelp-2.jpg The USB printers function on the host computer, but no...

net use x: \\vboxsrv\<sharename>

Also:
See the VB Help file section: "4.6. Folder sharing"

Thanks, that did the trick!

I can't figure out why I am not seeing the shared folders when I run the virtual machine. I have tried this using Ubuntu as the Host OS and Windows XP as the Guest OS. I have also tried with Windows XP as the Host OS & as the Guest OS as well. Do I have to do anything in addition to setting up t...

I did have to change the launcher from the command "VirtualBox" to "/usr/lib/virtualbox/VirtualBox", but I think that it is a negligible trade-off It may work for you that way, but all the checks are skipped to make sure everything for VB is there and working properly. The reaso...
