Hi
I've got VMware Server 2.0.0 (b116503) and I'm trying to talk to it through VIX COM 1.6.1.4558 with .NET interop to C#. The server is running on Windows XP Pro and so is the remote machine I'm trying to connect from. It works when I try doing it locally but fails when I try remotely.
I am supplying a fully qualified name ("http://xxx.xxx.xxx:8222/sdk" and I'm trying something as simple as connecting and powering on.When I run this on the machine local to the Server installation, it works fine. When I try to run it from a remote machine across the network, it's failing.When I call Connect I get error code 16: "The system returned an error. Communication with the virtual machine may have ben interrupted".
For clarification, I am able to use the web interface from the remote machine so it's not a connectivity or hostname resolution issue. I'm using exactly the same code to connect from the remote as from the local machine. Firewalls are not in place on either machine.
Any ideas? Have people come across this problem or something like it?
Many thanks
Joe
