WMware Fusion 7 - MKS Login Failure

I am having a problem connecting to a ESXI 5.5 virtual. I can connect to the server fine but cannot open up the console window.

I have been looking lots for someone with the similar issue, and I have found some results similar.

MKS Login Failure

But unfortunately, I am new to this and I don't understand everything directly.

I tried to "open" the ports 902 and 903 using the ipfw command, and running the sudo ipfw list command I receive the following list:

00100 allow tcp from me to any dst-port 902

00200 allow tcp from any to me dst-port 902

00300 allow tcp from 0.0.3.134 to me

00400 allow udp from 0.0.3.134 to me

00500 allow udp from any to me dst-port 902

00600 allow udp from 0.0.3.134 to me

00700 allow udp from 0.0.3.135 to me

00800 allow udp from any to me dst-port 903

00900 allow udp from me to any dst-port 903

01000 allow tcp from 0.0.3.135 to me

01100 allow tcp from any to me dst-port 903

01200 allow tcp from me to any dst-port 903

65535 allow ip from any to any

But this unfortunately still gives me the "Unable to connect to the MKS:Login".

Wondering how I can resolve this issue and open up the ports correctly.

You posted in the VMware Fusion Technology Preview 2014 forum and it's effectually over since the GA release.  If you're not using the GA release of VMware Fusion 7.0.0 then give that a try.  The Tech Preview License Key will work with that for another week.

Yes, I am using the GA release of Fusion 7.0. I posted the link to the Technology Preview because it had the same error message.
