Firewall on the target machine??

[RaymondT]

The physical machine is a win 2k3 srv

I am using Converter Standalong v 4.0

File sharing enabled?

[RaymondT]

The Firewall is off

[RaymondT]

File sharing is anable as we share alreaydy folder on that server

[RaymondT]

I did the installation localy on the server. now I have this error:

A general system error occured: Remote server closed connection after 0 reponse bytes read

Any idea ?

Where are you saving your data?

Seems that the destination is not reachable.

On a ESX 3.5 server installed on a IBM Blade CenterS

Is it in the same network? Check also cable and network speed.

Same network, cable good, Also I did a couple of v2v conversion without issue.

Since conversion works you may have a software or configuration of the Windows Server. Check Windows event logs. Anything in current Policies that might prevent?
