I have installed UBuntu 9.04 in the VM.


I have enabled the remote desktop and was able to see in "Session

VRDP sever port 3389



However, if I use Windows Internal remote desktop client, it was
unable to connect. (But I can ping my VM)

I am sure that no firewall is enabled in my Linux.

Note that the VRDP server is builtin into the VMM and therefore
you have to connect to the host, not to the guest! AFAIR, the
Windows client will not allow to connect to RDP servers on the
same host as the client so you should either use another client
or try to connect to the RDP server from a remote machine. Again,
the VirtualBox RDP server will listen on port 3389 of the Windows
host!

Just to share the trick of making MSTSC connect to the local machine: specify 127.0.0.2 as the target system. It's smart enough to prevent connects to localhost and to 127.0.0.1, but the above beats it.
