To verify, start a VM with VRDP enabled (VBoxHeadless -s test). Next, connect an RDP client to that VM. Now, shutdown the host. When the shut down is done, the RDP Client will be disconnected by the server, leaving the TCP socket in the TIME_WAIT state. After starting the VBox: {{{ infra1# netstat -an|grep 7066 *.7066 *.* 0 0 33232 0 LISTEN }}} After connecting an RDP Client: {{{ infra1# netstat -an|grep 7066 *.7066 *.* 0 0 33232 0 LISTEN 192.168.94.111.7066 192.168.94.22.1133 65535 0 33304 0 ESTABLISHED }}} Now, immediatly after the power-off of the VBox: {{{ infra1# netstat -an|grep 7066 192.168.94.111.7066 192.168.94.22.1133 65448 0 33304 0 TIME_WAIT }}} When you try to start the VBox again (VBoxHeadless -s test), the VRDP port can't be openend, and the log reads: {{{ 00:00:00.040 VRDP: TCP server failed to bind to a port: 3389 [7066] 00:00:00.040 VRDP: TCP server closed. 00:00:00.040 VRDP: Failed to start VRDP-IN thread, rc = VERR_NET_ADDRESS_IN_USE 00:00:00.041 Warning: failed to launch VRDP server (VERR_NET_ADDRESS_IN_USE): 'VRDP server can't bind to a port: 7066' }}} ''Waiting'' with the restart of the VBox until the TIME_WAIT has been timed out by the TCP/IP stack, the VBox can normally start up and bind to the appropriate port.
