vCenter Converter error

Hello,

When I start the vCenter Converter I get the following error:

"A fatal error occured. The reason for this might be a network connection failure. The wizzard will close now. Please check your network connection and try again."

In the converter log stays:

I'm running vSphere 4.1 and vCenter converter 4.2.0.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi Prokurator,

the same story by me (see attached screenshot).

vSphere 4.1 and vCenter converter 4.2.1

Firewall checked - no dropped pakets.

Restarted the service vmware-converter-server-vc [Display name "VMware vCenter Converter Integrated Server"] and viola... vCenter Converter Wizard "Import Machine" starts without any errors!

Regards

JK
