ESXi on a simple Workstation

[reinhardmayr]

Hy everbody!

i have a very funny problem with my esxi 4 installation.

I tested the esxi on a simple workstation with a gigabyte board, 4gb memory, a amd quadcore cpu, 2 e1000 nic´s.

Very fine the installation make no problem and the server runs up.

I think oay install the vsphere client und configure the server with a managemant ip.

so on i have the problem, i can not connect to the esxi with the client or the inet explorer but the ping response great. ??

Can i solve this Problem ?

Have any one a idea ?

Thanks a lot !

Since you have 2 NICs please check which NIC(vmnic0, vmnic1) is connected to the management network. Please goto F2 -> network conf on the ESXi console and check. Do you have any firewall (software or hardware) in between your VI client and ESXi machine?

Hy thank you for the answere,

i have no firewall, and the nic´s i have checked.

its all correct, i can make a ping to the esx ip.

Only the vsphere Client and the Website from the ESXi does not work.

Do you have another idea?

thanks a lot

i have now installed the ESX4.0 on the same machine.

Oh yeah it is great i have connection to the server, but i can not show the

Please help me to fix this Problem
