Installing vCenter 6.0 with external PSC

I am building a test environment for a new vSphere 6.0 install to replace the 5.5 infrastructure in use now. I installed the PSC on a VM and it seems to be working fine, but when I try to install vCenter on a different VM it complains that it can't reach the PSC. I can ping the FQDN of both machines from the other, firewall is turned off, tried all the usual things.

The odd thing is, if I just use the server name for the PSC rather than the fully qualified name, it connects, but it complains that the cert on the PSC doesn't match what I entered, which is true, I used the FQDN on the PSC. It will also connect using the ip address, but again the cert doesn't match.

Anyone have any idea why it would act this way? It does not appear to be a DNS issue, pings work correctly with FQDN, nslookup resolves the FQDN correctly.

I appreciate any advice

Matt
