    Hi All

    I'm struggling to get the following working, I'm sure this is something basic I'm missing but try as I might I can't get it working

    I need to set up a lab for a couple of proxies 

    the layout is as follows

    internet - vSwitch0 - proxy1 -vSwitch1- proxy2 - vSwitch2- client

    in other words traffic from the client must go through proxy 2 and then proxy 1 to get to the internet (proxy chaining)

    Only Switch0 has a physical NIC anything I connect to that gets internet access without any issue

    The Client can ping Proxy2 but cannot ping proxy 1 or access the network

    Proxy2 also can't ping proxy1 nor access the internet

    all device are in the same subnet

    client        192.168.1.206 255.255.255.0

    proxy2     192.168.1.207 255.255.255.0

    proxy1     192.168.1.208 255.255.255.0

    default route is 192.168.1.1

    I'm sure there is something basic that I'm missing here, any help greatly appreciated
