VMWare server through remote desktop

remote desktopvirtualizationwindows-server-2003

I've got a bit of an issue with our test server. It is a windows server 2003 machine with two virtual servers (both windows server 2003) using VM Ware. I'm able to remote into one of the virtual servers through remote desktop, but not the other one.

I can remote to the host machine, but even that machine can't remote to the virtual server.

I used to be able to remote to the other instance, so I know that it should work.

Some more details:

  • I've disabled the firewall on the
    virtual machine.
  • The virtual machine is not able to
    ping any node outside of itself, but
    can connect to the internet just
    fine.
  • Other computers can ping it, and even
    access shared files.
  • I've confirmed that terminal services
    is running.

Best Answer

1) can it RDP to itself?

2) it sounds like more of a networking issue than an RDP issue, based on the ping problem. have you verified its on the same virtual nic, and that all IP information is correct, including DNS, gateway, netmask, etc?
