you can bridge the virtual network card so the virtualbox appears on your LAN, you can then use the usual VNC method as if the system was a physical PC.

Sorry, I didn't provide enough information.

The new version of VirtualBox 3.2 OSE includes a built in VNC server for remote access to the Guest OS.

In order to build this you will need to set a compile time option.

I see, i suggest you log a bug to possibly get it added. You can alays use the above method to get VNC access (as well asRDP to windows VMs) in the current system.

Can you help with this problem?
