Problem connecting VMware Infrastructure Client to VMware Virtual Center 2.5

I have installed VMware ESX 3.5 and Virtual center 2.5.

I'm having a problems here:

1. When connecting the VMware Infrastructure Client to the ESX server, the connection is OK, I can manage my VM machines.

Wne using the Virtual center Client I can connect to the Virtual center correctly. But when I try to connect with the VMware Infrastructure Client to the Virtual Center

I get the folowing error:

VMware Infrastructure Client could not establish initial connection with server "VC server" Details: The server could not interpret the communication from the client

Can some one help me on his matter?

The VC is part of a Domain, so I'm using a domain user ( with admins rights) to log into the VC

Try it with just the IP address (no :8443). Is the VC server part of a domain or in a workgroup. If in a workgroup you can just specify the user otherwise you can user domain\username.

Did that but I get the same error.

I tried with port 443 also with same results.
