Unable to connect to vCenter Converter Server

I am getting the error:

"Unable to connect to vCenter Converter Server"

When I right-click on a host and select IMPORT MACHINE. I also get the same error if I right-click a powered-off guest and select EXPORT MACHINE. Why is that?

Although we are now using VSphere, I have seen this problem in ESX 2.x and 3.x. Is there something we don't have configured correctly or what?

Well looks like I fixed it.

I restarted the VMware Converter Server service, the VMWare Converter Agent service and just for good measure the VMware vCenter Converter service and now it is working. I would still like to know what happened, if anyone could shed some light on it.

I simply tried to restart the Vclient and reconnect to Vcenter Server and it worked perfectly, after it made me crazy restarting services, check dns, ip, etc... I hope it works to you.
