Error opening the remote virtual machine <hostname>:8333\16 - A connection to the host could not be established. posted: Oct 11, 2008 4:48 AM
i had the same problem: just installed vmware server 2.0 (on xp pro sp3) and created a new virtual machine. powered it on and entered the console, i got this error-message (although when i created adesktop shortcut and tried to start the virtual machine from there)
solution:
select your virtual machine, go to permissons-tab. there's one permission defined for the admin-group on the host.
creating a new permission for the user i currently used to log on the host and the vmware server as an admin with all privileges solved the problem.
not sure why it didn't worked without this explicit permission, because the user i used is in the host admin-group and i used this one to install the server... any idea?
hope this helps someone else because i haven't seen this hint anywhere, but many requests for help on this error
Downgrading didn' help, and no one knows how to solve the issue.
Gone to Virtualbox.
