 Vsphere Client Cannot connect. I got the following error messages when trying to connect to a freshly installed ESXi 4 box. I have tired on two different computers from two different networks with the same errors. First Error Attachment:
Message1.PNG [ 21.48 KiB | Viewed 1129 times ]
Followed by Attachment:
Message2.PNG [ 23.64 KiB | Viewed 1129 times ]
Then it just goes back to the logon screen and says Connection Failed in the bottom left corner. Any help would be great.

Re: Vsphere Client Cannot connect. Are you using Windows 7?

Re: Vsphere Client Cannot connect. Have you updated the host to Update 1. The client with 4.0 U1 is better able to support Windows 7 / 2008R2. There are some work arounds if you're just running ESX 4.0 and have not yet upgraded.

Re: Vsphere Client Cannot connect. I updated and it is working fine. Thanks.
I had the same issue with it crashing when I launched also. So I just uninstalled deleted the folder and reinstalled and it works great.

Re: Vsphere Client Cannot connect. I've tried using Win7 for a number of apps with VMware and they are buggy. I'll rather just wait till everything is worked out. Even with U1 that just came out...
