The easiest method would be to just set the VNC
server on the guest to listen on a specific port, then use iptables to
forward requests from your physical interface on the host to the guest. Be
sure to have your routing working correctly between the guest/host/you
otherwise this won't work. I am running 6 guests on 1 host, 4 of which
face the internet and that is how I provide services, by just forwarding
ports from the hosts into the guests.

Hey
I just wanted to ask you if what I am doing is possible to do.
To recap what I am trying to do is to have a host machine and set up tun/tap
networking between the host and a number of UMLs
I then want to be able to remotely access the UML using something like VNC or
some other remote desk top viewer.
What I dont understand about connecting to the UML is that when i connect to
my host machine useing VNC I use the hosts IP address but if I wanted to
connect to the UML then I would need to use its IP address but the problem is
that it is a virtual IP address. I understand that the host is acting as a
router so port forwarding would need to be set up to forward the connection
to the UML but how would I could I set up the port forwarding on the fly.
Thanks

So far I have set up a server
and now have users logging on from a terminal. They use a COW file so as
not to corrupt the file system. Next I want to investigate and test the
capabilities of User Mode Linux over a network using a Graphical User
Interface. The problem that I am having is that I am finding it difficult
to set up the GUI system.
I was wondering if anybody could give me some
pointers in the right direction
Without knowing which are your difficulties? It's difficult.
or could tell me of a tutorial on how to
set it up.
I have already looked at the user mode Linux
website on sourceforge but have been unable to successfully complete the
GUI instructions.
What's the problem?
You must install Xnest inside your guest system... it will then be able to
forward connection to another X system (on which you have to authorize TCP
connections from the UML system). Then it should work, more or less.
I am running Red Hat Linux 9 2.4.20-8
User mode Linux Patch 2.4.27-1
Remote Terminal Putty
On windows? well, there are also Xservers on Windows (the cygwin one for
instance)...
