Hi Jim, Thanks for your advice. Host - Debian 5.0 Guest - Debian 5.0 I have rdesktop running here. But I can't connect the guest on host $ rdesktop 192.168.0.30 Autoselected keyboard map en-us ERROR: 192.168.0.30: unable to connect On VBox I run; $ rdesktop 192.168.0.30:3389 It connects. Here I don't know which port to be used. Could you please shed me some light. TIA B.R.
