windows vista - Installing VirtualBox has broken my remote desktop - how can I resolve this?


Recently I installed VirtualBox (and the networking support that comes with it). Everything worked great, it's a lot nicer than the old VM I was using.


However, ever since installing, I can no longer remote desktop into my machine!


I've checked to make sure that my network IP address hasn't changed, and that my router is still set up to allow remote desktop to my pc, and it is, however, I still can't connect.


Has anyone encountered this problem? How can it be resolved?



Answer



Do any of your VMs have remote display enabled? This binds by default to the standard Windows remote desktop port (3389). If a VM is using this port, Windows won't be able to use it for remote desktop. See the manual for more discussion on how to change the port.
