Make sure you can actually map a network share from your machine. It's possible your services are either disabled or your ports (139,445) are blocked.

Make sure you have Netbios enabled on the server you are converting. Are you using the DNS names of the servers. What is your destination system?

target machine can see network share without any problem, and netbios was enabled on target machine as well. I tried both DNS name and IP address of target machine with no difference. Destination system is ESX 3.01 VM. The converter can see the volumes of target machine. In VC, the VM for the target machine was also created. However, for some reason, in vmware converter, I couldn't use VC account to access VC server, but accessing ESX host was fine.

Could be port 902 is blocked between your machine and VC Server.
