Two ESXi not communicating

Hello,

I have two ESXi hosts running and both connected to my cable modem. I've checked firewall, network configs, etc. I attempt to ping both hosts and notice that while one is returning the ping, the other is timing out. When I attempt to ping the host from inside one of my VM's, it just times out indefinitely. If I unplug one of the hosts completely, the other is constant with replies. I'm completely lost. One host is 6.0 and the other is 5.5 if that matters any.

Can anyone assist?

Hi,

Welcome to VMware Community.Smiley Happy

It is not a issue with using different version of ESXi host.I assume you have similar hardware and firmware.

If I unplug one of the hosts completely, the other is constant with replies.

What is the IP address you are try to ping.

1.Are you able to ping the gateway from RTO host when both the host connecting to modem?

2.Check whether any VM assigned with host IP?

3.Do you have NIC teaming in setup?
