Hello.

Can you provide more detail?  Are there firewalls involved?  Is DNS working properly?  What version of the software are you working with?

Good Luck!

A good place to start would be the vpxd logs.  Record the exact time of the failure and see if you can pinpoint anything in the log at that time.

No firewalls are involved, DNS is working properly and resolution is intact with the hostname & IP in nslookup.The softwares are Vshpere 4.0, ESX 3.5 and Vsphere client.

Hi,

just to make sure, have you looked on the vCenter Host if the vCenter Server Service of Windows is running?
