I have downloaded and installed the free trial of VMware Fusion 5.02 on my mac mini (mountain lion os x 10.8.2).
I am trying to migrate my pc (windows xp pro sp3, not oem, fully updated) to my mac.
I have successfully installed PC Migration Agent on my PC.
I have turned off the firewall on the pc and turned off 'shields' on avast antivirus on the pc.
The mac firewall is off and file sharing is allowed.
I have tried both using a direct ethernet connection (the cable I am using is known to work) between the machines with the passcode option and also my local network via ethernet with the ip address option.
In both cases when I have entered the PC Administrator user name and password section I get the following error message:
"Convertor failed to connect to the remote machine. A secure connection to the server could not be established".
Have you got any ideas about what I need to do to get this to work?
Many thanks.
