[SOLVED]VRDP problems Win7 works, not WinXP

Post by slanbarn »

Hello!

I have a little problem with the VRDP function. I have a WinXP and a Win7-beta guest, respectevly given port 3390 and 3391 for VRDP.

The Win7-beta guest I can connect to via a RDP-program, such as tsclient(for GNOME, essentailly the program is 'rdesktop')just fine, but not the WinXP-host, I really don't know why? I use loopback:port to connect.

edit: what happens when connecting to the WinXP-guest is that the program brings up a window that is all black for a few seconds, then removes the window, and back to the tsclient program, no error-messages or anything, so the client connects, but its just a black window for a few seconds, but connection to the win7-guest works just fine...

The only difference in VRDP config is the portnumber. No difference if I use the GUI to start the VM or VBoxHeadless.

Hope anyone has some idea!

Regards
Daniel

Yeah, okey, I feel stupid :(

Had authentiation for the WinXP as "guest", and "null" for Win7, With "null" it works with both VMs...
