This is just not possible with VirtualBox 2.0.4. You have two options: 1. Use the PUEL version from the official website. The PUEL version has a builtin RDP server which can be accessed using rdesktop. But if you consider to use the PUEL version then better use 3.1.8 or 3.2.4 (3.1.8 is probably still more stable than 3.2.4) 2. Upgrade to VirtualBox 3.2.4 OSE. Starting with version 3.2 there is VNC support available in the OSE version. Unfortunately we cannot add this support to the PUEL version because the VNC library is GPL/LGPL only.
