You have confirmed that there is no firewall service running on the physical machine you are trying to P2V

[Sirak]

Yes, I have confirmed that. Both servers are on he same segment (VLAN) of a switched network with no firewall. The Windowws firewall is not running. The TCP/IP helper service and volume shadow copy service are both running.

[malaysiavm]

are you using the latest version VM converter 4 which is built in on the ESX 3.5 update 2? that will provide better success rate. By the way, to work around this, usually I will reinstall the converter agent on the physical machine. Not only that, I also find that some VM may have problem with the update manager agent. By reinstalling that, it solved the problem most of the time.

I had the same problem. I installed the VC-Client and started the import process from a Server, which was in the same network.

Can you open a Windows-Share (for example <Your Destination System>\c$) from your VC-Client PC?
