RDP NOT accepting connections on different interface than localhost

Question

Tuesday, November 26, 2019 2:55 PM

Hi,

I am trying to RDP from VM to Host (Win10) on port 3389. When I try to access Tomcat at VMWare NIC on port 8080 (e.g. 192.168.114.1:8080) it works out of the box so I assume the problem is with RDP server on host only listening to the localhost and no other NICs. This possibly rules out issues with host FW.

So I can ping host 192.168.114.1 from VM, but RDP connection times out (192.168.114.1:3389)..

Thanks!

HI
0.did you install VMware workstation on one win10 host and create a vm then remote accesss from this vm to another host win10 .

1.can you enter winver in command prompt on both vm and host win10 computer then look the os version and os version number ?[for example windows 10  enterprise 1809 (os build 17763.316)]
2.are vm and host win10 in the same AD domain or in the same workgroup ?
3.if you disable firewall on host win10 temporarily,can vm remote access host win10 ?
4.can you enter netstat -ano |find "3389" on host win10,is there TCP port listened rdp connection?
5.is there other app are using 3389 port ?
To determine which application is using port 3389 (or the assigned RDP port), use the tasklist command-line tool along with the PID information from the netstat tool:
 
On the Remote Desktop server, click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.
Type tasklist /svc and then press Enter.
Look for an entry for the PID number that is associated with the port (from the netstat output). The services or processes that are associated with that PID appear on the right.

6.if you change the listening port for remote desktop on host win10 ,will the problem persist ?

Hi,

My setup:

Host: Windows 10, Version 1709 (OS Build 16299.1508).

Guest: Ubuntu 18.04.

Answers:

0. Accessing the same host on which VM is virtualized

1. Windows 10, Version 1709 (OS Build 16299.1508).

2. Not the matter for the problem.. We dont have transport layer working here.. I just want a prompt for connecting to the host - it is just timing out

3. Disabled FW and same outcome.. I mentioned that I have no problem accessing other ports from that VM on Host through VMWare interface (e.g. 192.168.114.1).. Only RDP is timing out..

4. 

H:\>netstat -ano |find "3389"
  TCP    0.0.0.0:3389           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING       1736
  TCP    [::]:3389              [::]:0                 LISTENING       1736
  UDP    0.0.0.0:3389           *:*                                    1736
  UDP    [::]:3389              *:*                                    1736

5. No, no other apps.

The way I am testing it:

I am creating a remote port forwarding on the Host and trying to RDP from remote server. When I redirect remote port to localhost:3389 it works, but if I redirect it to 192.168.114.1:3389 it doesnt.

So if we make above scenario successful it will most likely solve the problem with RDP from guest to Host.

HI
"Accessing the same host on which VM is virtualized"
do you mean you use guest vm(Ubuntu) to remote access its host win10 ?
I am not sure how do you control unbuntu to remote access its host win10 ?do you use another win10 to remote access ubuntu then remote access its mother host win10 ?
do you use win10 pro or enterrprise ?

in general ,win10(pro or enterprise) only support one session (local or remote session) ,if you control your vm on win10 host , there is local session in use.May be you can not control vm to remote access win10 host again.
