It's a pretty basic way of accessing guests.

This VNC connection is a console view, just like when you're using a KVM switch.

For example, Linux systems or that nice little HP Thin Client I have here.

You can login from machines that you don't have the vSphere client installed on. It appears that ESX 4.0 has a built-in VNC Server which you can use to manage your virtual machines. That was reason for me lookup a way to use this VNC server. Note that you'll have to ensure that your host OS allows connections on that port, and it isn't blocked by any OS firewall.While browsing through the ESX 4.0 screens, I stumbled on the firewall option to enable or disable access to a VNC server. You would edit that network, and again configure an external host port to use, which you would configure to connect to port 22 on your virtual machine's IP. The VM itself will connect to the virtual network VMnet8, which in your example is 192.168.42.0/24. They don't have a shortcut like this for SSH though, so you'll have to use the virtual network editor to do this. Note that the host system is the system that is running VMware Workstation Pro. You would select "Edit virtual machine settings" and in the Options tab, find "VNC Connections." For that feature, you have to select a port on the host system to use, and then when you connect from some remote VNC client, you would use the host IP and the port you've chosen to connect. Then you would just need to share the dynamic dns host name and port to people.Īs an aside, there is an option in the settings of the virtual machine where you can easily configure VNC access. For ease of use, you could also set up a host name with a dynamic dns provider like. You also need to be sure windows firewall permits inbound connections on 8022.

Now, you need to set up port forwarding in VMware workstation, such that inbound connections to port 8022 in windows gets connected to port 22 in your ubuntu VM.

Let’s say you pick port 9022 to listen on, and you set that to connect to port 8022 on your windows system running workstation.

You can use any other port, but you’ll need to convey that information to anyone you wish to allow to connect. 22 is the default ssh port, but the gateway may not let you use that.

You need to configure your ISP gateway device to forward incoming connections to some port to the laptop running workstation.

Yes, you need to configure port forwarding in two places to make this work.
