I'm running vCenter server appliance 5.5 Update 1. It sits behind a NAT'ed firewall in the same vlan and network as all the ESX hosts it manages. My windows7 workstation is outside the firewall.
I'm getting a connection time out message when I try to use the Console of a VM via the web client from a Windows machine. All other aspects of Vcenter work perfectly in the web client. The stickler here is that this same process works from my MacBook Pro (same network, firewall rules, and browser).
Can anyone explain why Console access would work on the Mac but not windows in the web client? I've tried from 4 different windows machines, all failed getting a connection time out. I've tried on two different MAC machines, all worked. What is the mac version doing differently?
DNS is not the issue (verified). Firewall rules are not the issue (verified).
Any help with the issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
