Hello,
this means that the connection is blocked. Either by the VMware host, or by any firewall in between.

WBEM was working fine with all my hosts on ESX4.1. When i migrated to ESXi 4.1, i get the same error Socket Error # 10061 Connection refused or HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized (RFC error #401). I confirmed with VMWare, ESXi does not have a firewall. My ESXi and PRTG server is on the same switch, no firewall, anything else i can check?
