VRDP does not work on Windows 7 Host (Ubuntu Client)

I have a Windows 7 Host with the latest version of Virutalbox (4.2.4, 81684). Within it, I have an Ubuntu (12.10) Client. Everything works fine when I'm working on it locally, however VRDP does not work. I've enabled the remote display server with the port 1234 and no authentication for now. However when I connect to it from the very same computer with Windows RDP to either of these addresses, it does not work.

» localhost:1234
» 127.0.0.1:1234
» 192.168.20.128:1234

Did I miss a step somewhere? I remember setting this up years ago on an XP box & it worked without much tinkering.

It should work yes.
Can you run

Code: Select all

netstat -abn
in a cmd prompt on the host and show the output here please

Was your VM running while you took this? I didn't mention it, but it has to be. I assume the VRDP port is still 1234?
If the VM was not running, can you run the command again with the VM running and put the output to a text file and attach it instead, thank you.

Hmm, so I noticed that the IPv4 settings for the VirtualBox Host-Only Network was requesting a specific IP, so I changed it to Obtain an IP address automatically. Then, I ran the virtual Machine & ran netstat again. I mention this because it may have caused a change.

The port is not open indeed, can you zip and post as attachement your vbox.log file for the VM, after you've shut it down?

Interesting. Here is the log. Thanks for helping me out. I don't actually know what to make of the log when I read it.

00:00:00.788129 Installed Extension Packs:
00:00:00.788156 None installed!
00:00:00.792917 VRDE: VirtualBox Remote Desktop Extension is not available.
You need to install the Virtualbox Extension pack, or the RDP won't be available

Hah! That's embarrassingly obvious, but I forgot that the Extension pack existed. Thanks for the help!

Something similar is happening to me, but I'm running Win XP as the client. I have the extensions for 4.2.6 loaded, but still no joy on making it work.

Here are 2 attachments, the first is the netstat -abn from my Windows 8 machine, the 2nd is the log file from my VM.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

@Gramado,

Your hint is at the top of the log file. Did you read it?

Code: Select all

00:00:01.006723 VRDP: Statistics created: [full], enabled: 0.
00:00:01.007207 VRDP: VRDP: VD: Frames=10 MinMS=15 MaxMS=300 HistoryMS=2000 VideoMS=300

00:00:01.009245 VRDP: TCP server closed.
00:00:01.009289 VRDP: Failed to start VRDP-IN thread, rc = VERR_NET_ADDRESS_IN_USE
00:00:01.009631 VRDE: Warning: failed to launch VRDE server (VERR_NET_ADDRESS_IN_USE): 'VirtualBox Remote Desktop Extension server can't bind to the port: 3389'
Select a different port.

Perryg, that did it. I changed ports and now it works. Thanks for the help.
