Is the new IP address on the same subnet/vlan? If not did you update the default gateway? Also if switching subnet's did you update the physical switch configurations and the vlan association if necessary? Can you provide more details about the change you made?

Its on the same subnet, the gateway parameter is same with other host, how to change the default gateway?

I only change the esx server IP.

to change the gateway, you need to edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network

you can use vi or nano to do so
