First, question belongs to serverfault.

Implementing a bridged connection and use that IP for remote access is the easy way. Or if you are using NAT, there is a way to connect to guest OS by a facility that VM provides which is a console connection to the guest OS. Check your VM settings for that and enable that. After that you will be able to connect to guest os by hostos ip : port that you specified while console configuration.

  • "there is a way to connect to guest OS by a facility that VM provides which is a console connection to the guest OS. " thanks but that's the obsure part I wanted to resolve :) I am using vmware server 2.. if that helps – Vineet Dec 23 '09 at 15:15
  • I haven't used VMware server. But their site says remote console connection is available from version 2 as a Web browser add-on. I checked their server guide which is available here - http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vmserver2.pdf. In that check page no 130. – Umesh Dec 24 '09 at 05:01
