i feel like an idiot asking this question, but ive searched for hours now and im spining my wheels, every video i watch, or any documentation, at least one of the NIC cards, usually 2, have an assigned IP address range ect... not in my case, how do i set up a NIC to be configured on the network, so i can add servers and assign them static ip ect....? I see the service console has an ip, but not the NIC, its accross from. this is a P2V conversion and i am using Vsphere4 on ESX 4.1 Thanks for any help!
EDITED*** for anyone who sees this and is a noob like me!
I have reserved IP addresses, all i had to do was create a 1|1 static NAT from internal to the external IP, use the same class that your gateway is on, and select the source address as your static server adddress.
Yes i am a noob, but there are others out there too
