The Console has been disconnected. Close this window and re-launch the console to reconnect

Hello,

I am using Mobile Watch list 1.5.020000 (2434393) and when I try to connect a VM running Ubuntu 14.04 desktop with the VMware tooIs installed get this error message. I am running ESXi 5.5. I am not connecting through VPN and I am on the same network as the server. I can connect just fine through the vSphere client installed on a desktop machine. There have been several questions about this and no answer.

From reading the posts I have opened the following ports to no avail:

902

7331

7343

443

9443

I also tried to forward all of these ports to port 80 on the server but that did not work either.

Can anyone give me an answer?

Thank you,

Rob Durrance

Sorry to necro this thread, but it seems like its not a server-side issue for me.

My server is running ESXi 5.5.0 (build 1331820).

I have a vSphere 5.5.0 (build 1281650) running on Windows 7 and also have installed vSphere Mobile Watchlist version 1.5.050000 (5293701) running on Android 7.0. Both work great. No issues (one is desktop one is mobile app).

Since the new Chromebook updates allow Play Store apps to be installed, I tried vSphere Mobile Watchlist version 1.5.050000 (5293701) [same as on mobile] running on Chrome OS version 63.0.3239.86 (Official Build) beta (64-bit) with Google Play Store version 8.3.74.U-all [0] [PR] 173689560.

This is what fails. All devices are on the same network and subnet with no intermediary firewalls. Both Android and Chrome OS versions are connected to the same wireless access point. I can log into the client using server credentials on all 3 clients. Can see activity and even "snapshots" of what the console is currently displaying. But the console fails to connect on the Chromebook.

It's not the end of the world, but it would be nice if there was a solution.
