Unable to connect to the MKS: failed to connect to the server 10.10.20.1:902

Hi,

Using ESX 4.0 and Vcenter we have the following problem:

1. If we connect from desktop at 10.100.30.35 to vcenter console at 10.10.11.26 we get the cannot connec to MKS error while opening a virtual machine console on 10.2.200.236 ESX 4.0 server.

2.) If we RDP from desktop on 10.100.30.35 to vcenter console at 10.10.11.26, we can connect to the virtual console without problems.

So, what is happening here?

Have we violated some network configuration rules for Vcenter on ESX 4.0 ?

Thanks,

Do you NAT your addresses? Check this link: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/87453

I've seen that before and basically Mouse-Keyboard-Screen, if you put a static entries for /etc/hosts file that would do it.
