Can't connect to VM Remote console using web access from linux

[AntonVZhbankov]

I can successfuly login and manage VMs using web access, but can't connect to VM console.

"Unable to connect to MKS: host address lookup for server failed: Name or service not known"

But I can successfully resolve server name with nslookup using both short name and fqdn.

If your browser uses a proxy, check for an exception for local addresses.

Add a reverse lookup entry in DNS (if you use DNS).

Add the local host IP addresses to the local hosts file.

Have you tried 127.0.0.1 or the LAN IP? Try the LAN IP.
