I installed ESXi 5.1 and I was not able to get an IP address from DHCP so I set a static address. After being POSITIVE I have a correctly set address, I still cannot ping the gateway from within the server or ping the server from another machine.
I'm not quite sure where to go from here since I'm a bit new to this product (though I'm VERY familiar with networking, Linux, Cisco, and of course Windows networking).
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
