Vmware ESXI 5 , network connectivity issues using realtek 8168

I have a brand new pc with a realtek 8168 NIC .

The installation went smoothly, after reboot configured fix IP address and connected to a Gbit nic interface of my switch (connecting to an 10/100 port gives me the same isue.

When i ping the management IP address i get timeouts and even destination unreachable (from a windows 7 pc).

The download of the esxi client continues normally even when i dont get a ping reply.

The esxi client / ssh connectivity is as expected also unstable.

I hope anybody has a possible fix.

regards
