virtualbox.org

I have a new install of 3.2.10 on a Win7 64bit Professional Host with 8 Core Opteron / 16GB RAM / Dual Intel NIC's. Setup a new VM (Windows 7 32bit). 1500MB RAM allocated, 20GB HD allocated. Bridged Networking. I set the Remote Display Server Port to 8000. I statically assigned the Virtual NIC. Am able to ping the VM. I open up the MS RDP client and enter in X.X.X.X:8000 and it will not connect.

I disabled the VM software firewall. Still can not connect. Any help would be appreciated. I perused the help documentation but not much there for me to work with.

Host firewall?
Also look at virus software that filters IP as well.
Oh and the x.x.x.x is the hosts IP address.

If they are both Windows OS and bridged, why not simply use WIndows RDP and the target machine's name?

Thx for the assist. I was hitting the VM's IP, not the hosts.
