Hello all.

I've been breaking my head over this for past few days. I installed ESXi to play around with, maybe learn few things, and one thing I would like to do is to try and manage it with vSphere client from a remote location. However, since I am on residential ISP, I cannot have ports 80 and 443 incoming.

I've tried changing config.xml under /etc/vmware/rhttpproxy but that did nothing. Am I doing something wrong? Can it be done? There's no documentation out there, searched far and wide.
 
unless you have vcenter installed those are not the ports. best thing to do is setup a lean vm like xp and just install vsphere and use logmein or teamviewer.
 
Thanks, but I want to avoid exactly same thing. I have 1 XP machine that currently running on VMWare Workstation and access it through Logmein.

And what ports does vSphere use? I read in this link it's 80 and 443. http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/mi...nguage=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1021199

I am still beginning on esxi information but Wrench might have been talking about vcenter server or the web UI?
 
well, what I use is a ESXi and a vSphere client that was a downloaded, installed application from vmware.com

Yeah, there is also VMware vcenter server and web UI that can not only connect to the hosts, but gives you alot additional features.
