cannot use remote desktop
The OpenBSD 6.2, as a guest of Virtualbox on Windows XP, runs normally. And `c:\netstat -na` shows "TCP 0.0.0.0:3389 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING"
So far so good, However, `c:\mstsc /v:127.0.0.1` reports error which translated as "cannot build new console session" . Regards! Last edited by sw2wolf; 8th November 2017 at 01:25 AM. |

127.0.0.1 is the loopback of the Windows host. It goes nowhere.
What is the IP of your VM? Try that. Success is also going to depend on the kind of networking you set up for the VM. Bridged or NAT. If it's NAT, you have to also forward the port to the VM. https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html |

The loopback address is correct if the RDP server is the Virtualbox application, and the RDP client is on the same workstation.
If I understand this issue -- and I may not -- sw2wolf is attempting to use this Virtualbox remote access feature, which does not involve networking on the guest virtual machine. If my understanding is correct, this is a "Virtualbox on Windows" configuration problem, and has nothing to do with OpenBSD at all. Last edited by jggimi; 7th November 2017 at 05:46 PM.

Oh, Thanks I didn't know that was a thing. I always used the VirtualBox console.
I did notice in the docs though: Quote:

Thanks for all your answer. The host(XP) is 192.168.1.2 and the VM(openbsd) is 192.168.1.88

If you want to operate any virtual machine's console via VirtualBox's RDP service, you must correctly provision VirtualBox and the RDP client.
Support for VirtualBox is available there --->>> https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Community Attempting to connect an RDP client to OpenBSD directly will not work. OpenBSD does not have an RDP server. Last edited by jggimi; 8th November 2017 at 01:34 AM. Reason: clarity |

Mybe RDP is relative to VBox. Then i tried samba. From `smbclient -L 127.0.0.1` on openbsd(192.168.1.88), i know samba has been started normally. And `smbpasswd` has added the user into samba.
On XP(192.168.1.2) i run cmd and `c:\net use * \\192.168.1.88\share` and input the correct user and password. But it always reports "unknown user or password". Regards! |

This will be my final attempt to explain a "console" to you.
On PC hardware, a console consists of 3 components.
Code:
keyboard - [Standard PC] - graphical display | mouse Question: How many peripheral devices make up a "console" on a standard PC? Quote:
