4.2.14 always Autoprobing vrde port

Post by Paul-LKW »

Hi All
I think some body already know the below command could assign the VNC port and password for the VNC,

VBoxManage modifyvm "Windows 7" --vrde on --vrdeport 6000 --vrdeproperty VNCPassword="password"

and however I find the option '--vrde port 6000' is no longer work in 4.2.14, it always using Autoprobing TCP port and always starting with port 5900, does any one know how to over ride this?

THx. all.

Confirmed in VirtualBox-ose 4.2.16.
All as described in 1st post.

"--vrdeport 6000" set port to 6000, but after manual start I see in console:
$ VBoxHeadless --startvm TEST
Oracle VM VirtualBox Headless Interface 4.2.16_OSE
(C) 2008-2013 Oracle Corporation

08/08/2013 17:37:23 Autoprobing TCP port
08/08/2013 17:37:23 Autoprobing selected TCP port 5900
08/08/2013 17:37:23 Autoprobing TCP6 port
08/08/2013 17:37:23 Autoprobing selected TCP6 port 5900
VRDE server is listening on port 5900.

vnc://SERVER_IP:5900 work fine, but I want my custom port 6000 as on older versions of VirtualBox-ose.

«- Revert VNC IPv6 patch because it causes an incompatibility. Per default the VNC ports are stored in "TCP/Ports" but with that change "VNCAddress4", "VNCPort4", "VNCAddress6" and "VNCPort6" are used which breaks phpvirtualbox and also confused VBoxManage/VBoxHeadless.» © http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports?view=re ... ion=327110
