I am a little confused as to how to set up the networking in esx3i. Have the dell poweredge 2950 iii "certified" for esx use. I have 3 seperate class c's I am working with. I have 2 network cards. I currently have a 66.xx port plugged into one nic and a 10.10.11.xx port plugged into the other nic. When I set up esx, i chose both nics for the management network. When I connect to the esx machine using the vi client from another machine on the 66.xx network, i can get in and I can create vm's etc. I have not assinged any network information to the vm's yet and they are powered down. I hardcoded a 66.xx.xx.xx ip for the host server. When i go to the networking area. I see the console is actually connected on 10.10.11.xx, but the other nic shows assumed network (or something like that) 000.000.000.000 thru 255.255.255.255. I would like my vm's to use the 66.xx range, but when I try to create a network, i loose my connection completely and then the management consoles ip gets wiped out. I've looked through the documentation, but it is not clear on how to do this all. I am pretty sure if i want to use a 3rd network for the vm's 216.xx I will need to add a new new and plug one of those 216.xx ports into it....
