It's more likely a networking issue. When you open a remote console session, you connect directly to the host that the VM is on and you do so over port 902 (the rest of the VI client session is over https). Can you telnet to port 902 on your ESXi host? You should see something like this -

Hi,

Try using a user id format as domain\user.

I would also look at default gateways.
