I have come across something odd. I have an ESXI4.1 machine, running several guests, all Redhat Linux 5.1. I can ping them, see them, operate them, no problem.
On this same box I have installed Server 2003. The IP address is manually configured and is basically identical to all other boxes as relates to subnet, gateway, etc. IP is 192.168.1.58 the next in line after 192.168.1.51 -.57.
I can connect to the server 2003 box through VSphere client console, I can ping out, get to the internet, etc. no problem.
From my PC if I ping this server 2003 box, try to RDP to it, etc. I get nothing. Ping shows like this:
C:\>ping 192.168.1.58
