July 30, 20169 yr I have been playing around with VM's trying to make sense of them. I have set up a win7 vm and can login to view it with VNC no problem. In VNC viewer I installed the drivers for the network and have set it to allow remote connections, but when I try with to connect with RDP it refuses to connect. I input PC name , username and password, double checked that they are correct, but constantly refuses.
July 30, 20169 yr What do you have for the network settings? The default of virbr0 is a NAT bridge that allows outbound connections, but not inbound ones. If you want to use RDP then you need to have enabled bridging under Settings->Network and then assign this bridged network (default name of br0) to the VM so it can be accessed externally.
July 30, 20169 yr Author Hi itimpi, thanks for the quick response. I have already done as you outlined there, initially it was set to vibr0, but still no connection.
July 30, 20169 yr What version of Win 7 are you running. IIRC it needs to be Pro to allow incoming RDP connections
July 31, 20169 yr Author Thanks CHBMB, think you hit the nail on the head. I do not have pro versions of my iso's. Just another hurdle to jump.
July 31, 20169 yr Author Ok so this continues to stump me. As my win 7 iso was not pro i ditched it and downloaded and installed a pro version of windows 10. Installed without a hitch and logged in using VNC and set remote desktop on, not the remote assistance I confused it with on the win 7 vm. On my desktop again I try to log in with remote desktop and it still can't connect. Just a couple of caveats, not sure if there relevant. 1. Win 10 pro VM is not activated 2. My desktop version of 10 is home not pro Other Info Unraid server Motherboard: Supermicro - X10SAE CPU: Intel® Xeon® CPU E3-1246 v3 @ 3.50GHz

If so, try to remove it.
July 31, 20169 yr They both got IP addresses in the same subnet? ie 192.168.1. for example Also have a play around with the Network Level Administration setting too. If it makes you feel any better every time I setup a new machine with RDP I always have to wrestle with it to figure out the settings, can never figure them out from ones I've already configured and can never remember what settings worked...
August 2, 20169 yr Author Hi all, while still trying to get this to work I tried pinging the win 10 vm from my win 10 laptop and got no responce. I could ping my Unraid server and kodibuntu fine. From the Vm I could ping the Unraid server and kodibuntu but not my win 10 desktop or laptop. And from my laptop I could not ping my win 10 desktop. So basically I cannot ping and win 10 instance both real and Vm? Any thoughts welcome
August 2, 20169 yr I believe Windows 10 home edition has only a RDP client, which allows you to connect to a remote desktop, but no RDP server, which is needed here.

August 2, 20169 yr Author Ok so it doesn't look like its getting an ip address from the router. Used some ip scanner software and laptop, kodibuntu , unraid and router all that is listed.
August 2, 20169 yr Ok so it doesn't look like its getting an ip address from the router. Used some ip scanner software and laptop, kodibuntu , unraid and router all that is listed. What is the output of ipconfig run in a cmd window? Are you sure that you have selected br0 in the VM Template and that you have set Enable bridging to yes in network settings?
August 2, 20169 yr Author Everyone a thousand thanks, never selected br0 when I created the win 10 template, real doh! moment, but great to have it working. Thanks for the patience lads
