Thread: System won't forward port to Virtual Machine

i installed virtual machine connecting using rdp. system windows server , rdp works better vnc needs.

wanted easy way transfer files , forth vm ubunutu 11.10 machine. first tried smb working. required me try , set tun/tap interface. well, looked way complicated simple file transfer. realized use actual drive on system 1 of vm drives.

well, right? no. can't connect vm using rdp. know qemu script right because worked before started messing settings.

so, in tryin fix this, started messing /etc/interfaces file , ended this:

code:

auto lo  iface lo inet loopback    auto br0  iface br0 inet static          address 192.168.1.69          network 192.168.1.0          netmask 255.255.255.0          broadcast 192.168.1.255          gateway 192.168.1.1          bridge_ports eth0          bridge_fd 9          bridge_hello 2          bridge_maxage 12          bridge_stp off

well, whatever reason, lost ability access internet. lan access fine. able see stuff locally on network, nothing beyond routher. "fixed" eliminating stuff file , ended this:

code:

auto lo  iface lo inet loopback    auto eth0  iface eth0 inet dhcp

plain, simple , worked. able access web.

however, still unable access vm's via rdp. i've tried setting them aqemu, vmm, , virtualbox. none of them work, don't think it's problem settings , said, worked before. here 1 of vm's command lines:

code:

#!/bin/sh  # script created aqemu  /usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64  -smp 2 -soundhw es1370 -enable-kvm -m 4096 -localtime -cdrom "/media/300/ms/en_sql_server_2008_r2_developer_x86_x64_ia64_dvd_522665.iso" -hda "/home/bryan/.aqemu/4gbwin2008r264_bit_hda" -hdb "/home/bryan/.aqemu/win2008r264_bit_hdb" -boot once=c,menu=off -net nic,vlan=0 -net user,vlan=0 -redir tcp:3389::3389 -name "4gbwin2008r264-bit" -vnc :3 -enable-kvm $*

any appreciated. if need other files or settings, let me know.

thanx!

ok, how this.

there way re set networking default values , set applications modified it?

and...

packages need reconfigure?

i'm thinking may firewall issue. able connect machine via vnc within lan. outside lan, connection rejected. also, vnc dies whenever try run in x root. example, "gksu synaptic" kills vnc session. don't know if that's related.

i've set all: in host.allow file. no effect. i've scoured /etc/ folder may causing problem. don't know else can do.
