firewall rules & finish command

[scot21]

SO i just added 5 hosts to one of my DMZ's and the hosts will connect to virtual center but then after about a minute or 2 they will go to not responding??? They are all 3.0.1 So i'm guessing firewall rules but my security guys are telling me that "the servers seem to be issuing a finish statement, that's what they see in the trace..... so anyway they seem to think the FIN ACK they are getting is coming from my hosts???? any Idea's would be greatly appreciated.

A little off the topic of your question, but is there a specific reason that the service console NIC(s) for your hosts are in the DMZ? In most cases that's not the best place for them and if you require VMs in the DMZ it is sufficient to put the NIC(s) for the vswitch for your VMs in the DMZ and to leave the service console NIC on the internal LAN where it will be better protected.

we have our SC nic on an OOB network.

check to see if you have udp open on port 902. We had a similar problem.
