Troubleshooting and Tips
VMware viewer ports
By default, the VMware viewer uses ports 902 and 903 to communicate with ESX Servers. If
these ports are blocked by a firewall, the VMware viewer session fails to launch.
Mozilla Firefox
Launching the VMware viewer
When using Firefox version 2.0.0.11, the VMware viewer may fail when attempting a
connection to an ESX Server. To solve this issue, upgrade your browser to Firefox version
2.0.0.12 or later.
NOTE: Firefox version 2.0.0.11 is the only version that demonstrates a failure to launch the VMware viewer, so
prior versions of Firefox may also be used.
Installing the VMware viewer plug-in
In some installations of the Firefox browser, the automatic installation of the VMware viewer
plug-in fails.
To manually install the VMware viewer plug-in:
1. Save the MKS plug-in file to the local server. To be prompted with a Save As window for
the MKS plug-in, attempt to open a VMware viewer session to a virtual machine or launch
the VI Client from the Unit Overview window of an ESX Server or VirtualCenter.
2. From the Firefox browser, open the saved MKS plug-in file and follow the on-screen
instructions.
