Teamviewer on Virtual Machine?

[mouseym]

Hi,

If i were to install Teamviewer on a Virtual Windows XP in VBox/VMWare, would this allow someone to remote connect into that virtual machine while allowing another user to continue using the host o/s without interruption? I wasn't sure if the guest OS would steal the mouse from the host o/s and vice versa.

Thanks,

Just tried - it works. Only requires your virtual machine's ip address to be visible from the client computer. There may be complications if you're behind double NAT and you might have to change network connection settings. I tried it on Windows 7 x64 with Windows XP guest OS installed inside VMWare. Connection "steals" only your virtual machine's cursor and does not affect your "real" OS.

That's great to hear, thanks for clarifying.
