Starting with vSphere 4.1, you have to explicitly permit copy&paste (Clipboard) integration, as it is turned off by default as a security precaution.

To reset/use another Netflix streaming server, disconnect your Internet service for 5 minutes (as in "turn off your cable/DSL modem").

This does not guarantee that you will switch servers, but it has been found agreeable to my practice.

I wish Netflix would publicize this tactic.
