Connecting to Win7 on Mac host via Remote Desktop Connection

Post by cmham01 »

Is there a way to connect to the Windows 7 side of VirtualBox running on a Mac using Windows' RDC from another Windows computer? If so, what IP address do I use.

That depends on the network mode you are using.
But the answer is yes it is possible if configured properly.
See Chapter 6. Virtual networking and Chapter 7. Remote virtual machines in your VirtualBox users manual
