Dear Helper,

I have Windows XP Professional as the host and guest OS. My aim, which i'm failing up to now :cry: , is to connect from host OS to guest OS by rdesktop (http://www.rdesktop.org), which is software for remote desktop connection.

The IP found at VirtualBox Ethernet Adapter on the host OS is provided as the target IP for rdesktop, but when connection is established the logon dialog of the host OS appeared, not the guest OS. :!:

The guest OS network is attached to "Bridged Adapter". :!:

Any help are welcomed,

Regards,
Sergey.

Set the RDP port used by the guest VM (Settings>Display>Remote Display>(set port)), and then connect to that port.
