I am using IP addresses only and a static IP for the VM helper which is on the same subnet as the source, target, and Converter server which is a VM on the Target ESX host. I can use WinSCP to connect via SFTP to the source machine and copy files to the Converter box. I can also ssh directly to the source machine from my converter box.
The exact message in the converter log is:
RecordOp ADD: event[29], task-5
Converter Task GetEvent(taskID=task-5)
