Puppet users - Oct 2014 - unable to establish connection between agent and master.

I know this question has been asked before in many different variant. I 
read all the post related to the problem but I cannot get agent and master 
talking to each other. I boot up 2 vm via vmwork station both running on 
linuxmint 17.

I'll start this thread by telling what's my /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname
in
client and puppetmaster looks like.

In my client's vm my host name in /etc/hostname looks like the following:

    puppetclient

my client's vm hosts in /etc/hosts looks like the following:

    127.0.0.1 localhost
    127.0.1.1 puppetclient
    192.168.75.143 puppetmaster

In my master's vm /etc/hostname looks like the following:

    puppetmaster

My master's vm /etc/hosts looks like the following:

    127.0.0.1 localhost
    127.0.1.1 puppetmaster
    192.168.75.144 puppetclient



My /etc/puppet/puppet.conf in my master looks like the following:

    [main]
    logdir=/var/log/puppet
    vardir=/var/lib/puppet
    ssldir=/var/lib/puppet/ssl
    rundir=/var/run/puppet
    factpath=$vardir/lib/facter
    templatedir=$confdir/templates
    prerun_command=/etc/puppet/etckeeper-commit-pre
    postrun_command=/etc/puppet/etckeeper-commit-post
    
    [master]
    # These are needed when the puppetmaster is run by passenger
    # and can safely be removed if webrick is used.
    ssl_client_header = SSL_CLIENT_S_DN
    ssl_client_verify_header = SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY

my /etc/puppet/puppet.conf in my client looks like the following: 


    [main]
    logdir=/var/log/puppet
    vardir=/var/lib/puppet
    ssldir=/var/lib/puppet/ssl
    rundir=/var/run/puppet
    factpath=$vardir/lib/facter
    templatedir=$confdir/templates
    prerun_command=/etc/puppet/etckeeper-commit-pre
    postrun_command=/etc/puppet/etckeeper-commit-post
    
    [master]
    # These are needed when the puppetmaster is run by passenger
    # and can safely be removed if webrick is used.
    ssl_client_header = SSL_CLIENT_S_DN
    ssl_client_verify_header = SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY
    
    [agent]
    server=puppetmaster


I have many variant of puppet.conf during my search and I don't feel like 
posting here. One of the variant is to have `server=puppetmaster`in [main] 
in both my client and master's vm. Anyways, for all the puppet.conf 
variants i tried, my first error when I run `sudo puppet agent --test` is 
always `warning: unable to fetch my node definitoin, but agent run will 
continue:`the error after that is different for each variant of puppet.conf 
I implement. Can anyone tell me the right configuration for my setup?

Thanks
