Hi
I have VirtualBox 4.3.20 running on Windows 7 Entreprise Edition. I also have RemoteBox 1.9 running on another Windows 7 machine (There are on the same IP network).
I tried to access my virtual machines with RemoteBox, so on the machine in which VirtualBox is installed I executed the command VBoxWebService -H 127.0.0.1 and then in RemoteBox
I specified the url with user/password (this is the credentials of the user who has executed the VBoxWebService command, this is the part that bothers, cause I am not sure if it is correct), but the authentication has failed (Credentials are incorrect or the VirtualBox Web Service is not running at the specified URL).
I thought be a Windows Firewall issue so I created a rule on the port 18083 but it does not help.
Any suggestion or idea is welcome
Thanks in advance

Re: Using RemoteBox with VirtualBox
Seems to me the right place to ask this question is remotebox as it is after all not a VirtualBox package.
They should have detailed setup documentation and what it is you need to do to get their package up and running.

Re: Using RemoteBox with VirtualBox
If you're running the web service on 127.0.0.1, then the web service will never be accessible from the network as this is the local loopback address. You should probably specify the machines actual IP address or hostname (if it resolves correctly in DNS)
