I installed virtual box.

created a new VM with a blank virtual disk, mounted a bootable ISO, and started the VM

I can see in the "preview" it starting, but I cant access it via console because adobe flash is depreciated, and I cant VNC into it - it simply says connecting and nothing happens. so I cant install an OS on my VM.

any suggests / help / what am I doing wrong please?

Thanks

Please click on the blue "9100" displayed under the Display, and you will receive a remote connection tool to access your OS.

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me. I had tried that but it didnt work from my Mac (even with Microsoft Remote Desktop installed), but it does work from my windows PC.

Thanks for your help!

I said that in the very first post.

It seems better now?

If you're running VirtualBox on your local machine, you can use the VirtualBox GUI to directly access the VM console without relying on Flash or VNC. In the VirtualBox main window, select your VM, and click Start. This will open the VM in a new window, and you can interact with it directly to install the OS.

the whole point is that we were running virtual box on the NAS - this is a forum about NAS ?

I had the same problem.
You should write an IP-address for connecting to your VM with windows remote desktop.

I have checked the network connection and ensured that the VM is powered on, but I still cannot connect. This issue may be due to various reasons, such as a misconfiguration in the settings, firewall restrictions, or a potential outage in the service provider. I would appreciate any guidance on troubleshooting steps or assistance in resolving this matter promptly, as accessing the VM is critical for my ongoing projects.

I have successfully solved the problem of connecting to remote desktop. See the screenshot of my previous post.
In virtual machine settings, make sure that Remote Display is enabled and has a connection port assigned to it.
When you connect with RDP to remote display use IP:Port.
