connecting to a windows VM through RDP

[Monteiro]

hi

i need to get RDP working and understand whats needed on proxmox to access to windows vms with RDP.

in this case VM is connected on the bridge vmbr2

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

iface eth1 inet manual

iface eth2 inet manual

iface eth3 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
address xx.xx.xx.x
netmask x.x.x.x
gateway x.x.x.x
bridge_ports eth0
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0

iface vmbr1 inet static
address x.x.1.x
netmask 255.255.255.0
bridge_ports none
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0

auto vmbr2
iface vmbr2 inet static
address x.x.252.2
netmask 255.255.255.128
gateway x.x.252.1
broadcast xx.xx.252.127
bridge_ports eth2
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0


windows VM is connected with:

ip: xx.xx.252.7
Gateway: xx.x.252.2 or Gateway from ip range xx.xx.252.1
NETMASK: 255.255.255.128


i have already configured RDP on the windows machine but the connection fails, please advice and thanks in advance.

Hi,

to get help you must provide some information about the problem.
Your IP settings are no help.

What is the exact error Message.
Can you ping the VM?
Is the network working in the VM?
On what device (bridge) is the VM connected?

hi wolfgang

yes the machine is connected and i can ping the VM, network configuration is working without any issues and we have already configured RDP on the windows machine but the connection fails, the message is to check if RDP is enabled on the machine.

the VM is connected to the vmbr2.

May be a firewall on the Vm or has you activate it on PVE?

 

[Monteiro]

i dont have any firewall, i was thinking that any configuration was needed on iptables. If not i will keep looking and trying to figure it out. thanks anyway,.

If RDP is setup proper and the VM has connection there is no need of extra setup.
The PVE-Firewall is default off.
PS every Windows has an firewall and it default turned on.
