Error: Couldn't connect to server

I am trying to connect to my company desktop using the VMWare Horizon Client version 5.1.0.     I am using a MAC running OS Mojave version 10.14.5

The horizon client version 4.8 worked fine but I get the following error with the recent releases.

Error: Couldn't connect to server

Please help- I need this connection for work purposes.

Thanks

Mark

After many many searches I finally have a resolution (not sure if this will work for everyone).

Turn off the WIFI on the mac and connect to the internet using a wired connection. I needed to buy an apple USB Ethernet adapter to connect to the network hub.

For what ever reason, the wired connection worked and helped to remove the error.

I can now connect via wireless also.

I'm having the same issue, I tried turning off my wi-fi and just connecting via ethernet, but it didn't work for me.  Are there any other solutions?

Encountered this with a Mac user a couple of days ago. Only way we could get it to work was to download 5.3. I submitted an SR to VMWare about the installer.
