| | unable to connect my virtual Machine through Remote Desktop Connec Hi, I have a WinXP SP2 machine with virtual PC installed. I have installed windows server 2003 as a virtual machine. I want to use the virtual win2k3 server as a test database server and would like to connect directly to it with remote desktop on my Desktop. I cannot make this work. My network is a simple 192.168.10.20 - 192.168.10.50 range assigned through DHCP. I can connect to all,my other PC's fine. So the network is OK. But the virtual machine has getting 192.168.131.66 as IP-address through DHCP Server. But this Ip address is not in my network, which is in another range. I cannot connect to the virtual machine with remote desktop but i can ping to virtual machine. I tried to disable the firewall on the virtual machine, but still no go. I need to get access my Virtual machine through remote desktop connection. Does anyone know how to solve this? |

You won't get host-guest communication using it. Under the Network settings change from Shared Networking to your NIC listed there. This will get your guest an IP in the correct range .10.x and should also allow RDP. After you make the switch reboot the guest OS for the easiest config. -- Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ |

| | Re: unable to connect my virtual Machine through Remote Desktop Co Hello Steve, Thank you for your reply!! I am not get the point that you have mentioned "Under the Network settings change from Shared Networking to your NIC listed there" . Please tell me the configuration once again... it could be very helpful for me.. I have configured the IP address manually range of 192.168.10.XX. but still the problem exists... Once again thanks ...

Change from Shared Networking to your NIC listed there, what is actually listed depends on the NIC installed. On mine it says "Intel 82567LM Gigabit Network" Once this is selected your VM will be connected directly to your host's network instead of via NAT in Shared Networking. After this reboot, the VM so the correct IP can be gotten from your DHCP. -- Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ |

| | Re: unable to connect my virtual Machine through Remote Desktop Co Hello Steve, Thanks for your valuable reply!! I have tried to change the settings of VM from shared networking to NIC card. But my local system NIC adpater is not showing there...it only shows local only, Not connected, shared networking (NAT). I have changed the shared networking to local only and restarted the server. But still Virtual Machine is not getting Ip address from DHCP Server. Please reply..

First attempt at solving this: - Open the properties of your NIC (on the host) - Make sure that the "Virtual Machine Network Services" item is checked in the list. If it is not then: - Check it and OK out. - Now stop and start VPC2007 - Go to the guest properties again and see if the NIC has appeared in the list. If so select it and start the guest. - Chances are that the networking will now begin to work as you want. Second attempt: - If the above does not work then you need to locate a newer driver for your network card on the host. Your NIC driver probably does not cooperate with the VMNS services in the present version.... Finally: Local only will not give you any connectivity at all! It is meant to be used for *isolated* guest networks where the intention is that the guests will *not* be visible to any other computers than the virtual ones, including being invisible from the host. -- Bo Berglund (Sweden) |
