Connecting directly to ESXi 5.1 from Windows XP fails after upgrade to Update 02

[bonne123]

After updating this night to ESXi 5.1 Update 02

(build no. 1483097

file update-from-esxi5.1-5.1_update02.zip)

I get the error:

An unknown connection error occurred. (The client could not send a complete request to the server. (The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.))

I am connecting from an XP client, I have googled this issue:

vCenter Server 5.1 Update 2 Release Notes

which explains it (I think), but the solution is for vCenter. How to solve it without vCenter.

Regards, Lars.

Welcome to the Community,

although the KB article only mentions version 5.5, you may try and see whether http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2049143 will help.

I need a button here where I can click EXTREEMLY helpful...

Thanks.

The fix when running XP 32 bit is to edit config.xml like in your link.
