Removing old virtual switches

Hi there @cereberus

RDP needs port forwarding -- 3389? Not sure which one -- router needs to port forward RDP to the VM -- I think there is a way of selecting different ports for RDP or you might be able to do it via some sort of Putty / Tunnelling.

If you need to RDP to different machines then you AFAIK need to get the appropriate port(s) forwarded to the IP address on the LAN. I'd imagine you are using for your HOST DHCP so getting the IP address of the VM on the LAN might not be so easy - unless you are on your local HOST.

This might help though

Yeah - I had pretty much guessed this. I am reluctant to setup port forwarding on my router anyway.

I actually discovered (rather to my surprise) I can rdp to host, and in host simultanesously rdp to vm i.e on phone it looks like I have RDPd direct. So in the end, I have a simple and low risk solution (I could always have used vmconnect instead anyway).

When it comes to Port forwarding, I prefer forwarding it from a decanter to my crystal glass .

Remoting into all my VMs from any computer or device in my internal network is working like a charm. My mobile even detects the device names automatically, so I don't have to type anything manually. :)

You must be having some configuration issues with your virtual switches...

UPDATE: Here's a shot from my mobile

I only get these issues when using the default switch. With the normal external switches, all is fine as the vms are on the same subnet as the mobile and host. My problem is using external hosts kills my ISP download speed.

I C! Yeah, I don't use the default switch because it has been disconnected from everything since a few host upgrades ago.

I also had DL speed issues on host when using an external switch, but now all seems fine...

EDIT: Tested real life single file DL speed from a server near me. I got 40MB/s. :)

I will try direct ethernet connection. Maybe it is a wifi issue.
