    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Ive used VM Workstation for years, but now find I've been given a ESx server v4 to manage. Its been powered down for a few months and the previous SO has now left the company and all I have is a password and IP. So server is now powered up and it claims I can download the management tools from its IP address &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt; . So tried to access it and all I get is an IIS7 splash screen. I've tried downloading vSphere client, but all I get from that is a Unknown connection error.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;SteveJ&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you are getting a IIS7 splash screen then it sounds like you are connecting to something else. If it has been switched off for a while could something else be using the IP address now? Do the IP address respond to a ping? If so, try switching the ESX host off and see if you are still getting a response from the IP address. If you are then something else is using the IP address.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Already ruled out the duplicate IP but thanks for the reply. Solved it. The management interface originally had a different ip address, we'd changed it so it would work on our network. Changed it back to the original ip address and I can now get in.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;SteveJ&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
