Also the Windows install package of VirtualBox does not come with the vbox-rdesktop client. I am soon upgrading my Debian to Lenny w/ VirtualBox 3.0.2 soon, and will let you know if Windows 7 rdesktop client still complains and the exact error message as well. My Linux box is on a private network and iptables is not in use or insmod'd into the kernel at all, so the port is not being blocked. However, if I attempt to connect to it from my Windows 7 laptop remotely, entering in my Linux boxes DNS name, it provides me with an error message saying it cannot connect at all. I can connect perfectly fine from the Linux box using the rdesktop client which comes with Debian etch. In VirtualBox 2.2.4, I set it to accept remote RDP connections to the guest via the standard port. I have either the same or similar issue with the Windows 7 rdesktop client.

Are there any other good RDP clients for Windows? dingbat Posts: 1 Joined: 29. Also, I use port 8000, so there shouldn't be a conflict with the port already used by Windows.

I tried connecting from another XP machine and it appeared to work fine. VNC, among other things, works fine between the XP and Win 7 machines, so there's nothing wrong with the connection. The connection was lost due to a network error." On the client side, the following error pops up: "This computer can't connect to the remote computer. There are no errors in the VirtualBox log, it just says the connection was closed. Sometimes it lasts 3 seconds, other times several minutes.

(guest OS is Xubuntu, but that shouldn't matter) I connect to it over a LAN from another computer, running Windows 7 RC, using the Remote Desktop client.
