Cannot connect heartbeat console to remove server?

$

Hi,

 

I am trying to connect the heartbeat console on my Win7 PC to the heartbeat service on my 2 vcenter machines, but I am getting "Could not connect to host x.x.x.x: port 52267".  On each of the vcenter machines, if I run the HB Console, I can connect to the local machine, but not the remote vcenter server (with the same error).

 

Reading the documentation, I have opened the inbound (tried the outbound as well) firewall for TCP port 52267.  I have verified this port is open, as when I do not have the rule enabled, if I run 'telnet x.x.x.x 52267' I do not get any response.  When I have the rule enabled (port is open) and I run the same telnet command, I get a response (it's garbage, but that doesn't matter, it tells me the port is talking).  I have tried using the nfgui.exe in the firewall rules as well, but that doesn't do any better (Is this right? since the nfgui is the console itself, a connection from another machine wouldn't know this process name, right?).

 

When I turn the firewall off, everything works just fine, but as this is Windows, that is not an acceptable solution.  Is there another port or range I should be opening?

 

Thanks,

Jason
