Can't get into virtual servers

We have two vmware ESXi servers. They have been running for about 3 months fine up until now. We are unable to log in and view any of the guest OSs. The error we get is Cannot connect to host <host IP>: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. We get that on both servers. I've searched the forums and can't find anything like this. Could someone point us in the right direction?

any changes made to your firewall? Check that port 902 can get through (or 903...can never remember).

That was definitely it. I added those to ports to my acl. Apparently a change was made yesterday. Thanks a lot.
