Accessing my ESXi server over the NET

[VinnyH]

Hi,

I just installed an ESXi 4 Server with vSphere etc. Now I want to remotely access it from home to finish the configuration.

One of my VM on this new host has a web connection with an Public IP address (or do we call it private, but accessible via the internet).

How do I go about accessing this host over the Net?

Thanks.

Vince

As long as your guest machine can communicate with the host you could install the VI client inside the guest VM. Then anytime you accessed the guest VM from wherever you could open up the Vi client and connect to your host.

What access do you have to the web connected VM? What OS?

It's a Windows 2008 R2 OS with 2 NICs, one Public and one Private.

I run a VPN server that lets me connect from anywhere as if I'm on the local network. Can get a stand alone appliance or set one up on a VM.
