Can"t connect to the virtual machine...

....continued from a thread a couple of weeks ago.
I have Virtual Server 2005 R2 installed on a Windows XP Pro machine
(fully patched). I've installed a Virtual Machine into the server
(originally created on Virtual PC 2007). Everything works great, except
that I can't connect to it via Remote Control. I can connect to the
Virtual Machine fine via VNC, but not remote control.

Whenever I try to connect via Remote Control, I am confronted with a
credentials dialog. I've tried typing in the admin account for the host
machine, for the guest machine and everything in between, but it never
connects. Regardless of what credentials I type in, under "Recent
Events": the following entry appears: *The user
"FILESERVER\Administrator" at Internet address 192.168.1.101 failed to
authenticate a new connection to the VMRC server.*

There is no domain - the host machine is just a standalone machine on a
home network (connected to a workgroup).
If I go to Virtual Server/Server Properties/Virtual Marchine Remote
Control (VRMC) Server Properties, I see the following:

VRMC Server: Enabled
TCP/IP address: all unassigned
tcp/ip port: 6000
Default screen resolution 1024x768
Authentication: NTLM (I've tried automatic as well, did do the trick)

One thing I don't understand is where port 6000 comes into play. When I
click on Remote Control it goes to the following URL:
http://fileserver/VirtualServer/VSWebApp.exe?view=3&vm=MySampleMachine.

I've tried going directly to the VRMC:
vmrc://fileserver:6000/MySampleMachine, but I still get the
authentication dialog and can go no further.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

The default VMRC port is 5900. You must have something on the host that is
using 5900. Do you have VNC installed on the host? I'd suggest that you try
removing whatever is on 5900 and trying again.
