Well, it works I can even start the Virtualbox-ose and control the Windows XP (that is good), but:
1.) the terminal I'm connecting to has to accept my connection, is it possible to set it up so I connect to it automatically.
2.) I'm taking control of the mouse and keyboard of the remote workstation (in this case my server).

What I need is to connect to the server being able to use it without taking control of the desktop mouse or keyboard.
