Can't converter vm because target machine actively refused it

Hi,

I want to use the vmware standalone converter to convert a virtual machine in VI3 to VM in vmware workstation.

But when I select "vmware infrastructure virtual machine " as the source type, enter the IP of VM to convert. I got an error message:" a general system error occurred: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it." What's wrong with it? I have stop the firewall on source VM.....

Is there anyone can give help?

BTW: Converter can convert a vm on ESX to vmware workstation, right?

Vms from ESX 3 and Workstation are using virtual hardware 6, and have backward compatibility.
