RE: [Xen-users] Problem with WinXP install. Can start but not connect via vnc

[Gerhard Possler <gerhard.possler@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Benny,

i'm not sure that vnc ist working with
hvm (MS) you do not have in an standard installation an vncserver... but
can you ping your guest?

(vnc would run with an Linux hvm guest
because you have here in many OS's an vncserver allready as default)

you should connect to the guest and
not to localhost. I use RDP to connect to my XP session, from Linux someting
like:

rdesktop -g 1200x1024 -a 24 -k de 10.0.0.2

10.0.0.2 is my XP guest.
