Are you specifying to connect to port 904 from the Windows client (VMware Server Console, I assume)? For example, if your server is at IP 192.168.0.100, specify 192.168.0.100:904 in the server address box (likewise, if you connect with a name, just put :904 after the name). 902 is the standard port. However, 902 is allocated in /etc/services already, so VMware bumps it up to 904. If you want to change this, edit /etc/services to comment out the two 902 lines, then rerun vmware-config.pl and tell it to run on port 902. Then you will not need to specify the port explicitly.
