Here, $ rdesktop [host IP]:3389 works after I have done that and started the guest in the VirtualBox GUI. Note that you can also start the guest using $ VBoxManage startvm MyWin2kServer -type vrdp but try with the GUI first. I did all this as user, not as root (not sure whether it would make a difference. You should probably look at getting VirtualBox running as user though). I am also using a (Kubuntu) Edgy host.
