[ubuntu] (VMware Player + NAT) + RDP = FAIL

view story
linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello, I am running UBuntu 12.04. I am also running Windows 7 Professional in a VMware Player Virtual Machine. I have to use NAT'ing to get a lot of my company applications, etc. working. So using Bridge really isn't an option. How can I allow RDP (Remote Desktop Connection) to my virtual machine under NAT? I figured I'd have to forward the RDP port, 3389, from the host to the virtual machine. Can anyone give me some assistance in this? What files do I have to edit or packages do I have to install to configure this. Thank you everyone, Johnathan (Hardware)

I run an Ubuntu 12.04 server as a virtual machine on a VMWare ESXi 5 server.

I've configured VMWare to shut the quest machines down the sane way (with an ACPI (if I understand it righ) shutdown signal so that guest OSes would do it).
