ESXi 6 P2V Port Forwarding Issue

I have recently setup ESXi 6 and used a P2V convertor to create my virtual machines on my Host server.

So in my simple mind I kept everything the same - being the server structure and internal IP address.

My Host running esxi is internal address 192.168.0.12 and my physical server had an ip address of 192.168.0.11.

After converting I switched my physical box off and run my VM all good!!!

NOW - ALL of my port forwarding rules DO NOT WORK!

I see that my VM has the same internal address as my old physical box and port 80 as well as port 22 fail to work.

So I don't get what is missing!? Surely the VM has the same internal address and the port 80 traffic should be sent there!>??? But NO!

Internally everything is just fine!

It seems as though the Host ip (192.168.0.12) doesn't bridge or connect the virtual machine (192.168.0.11) for port forwarding.

YES I have done the obvious..delete the PF rukes and recreate as well as flush the MAC address tables etc.

Any advice would be great guys 🙂
