I assume your switch does VLAN ?

<div>
Yes it does but I'm familiar with setting up a vlan

If you don't mind having 2 nics in the VM, here's what I do<br />
<br />
On the ESX, I would configure another network and put it in the same VLAN as your Internet Network.<br />
On the VM add a nic that is part of that network.

Worked like a charm<br />

I configured a virtual Switch for 192.168.0.0 specified a physical NIC for it and setup a VLAN on my switch for the port that it was connected to and created a routes on the switch, router and firewall for 192.168.0.0

I have setup a test network on a VMWARE ESX server with an SBS2008 Vm and a Vista VM. The test subnet is 192.168.0.0 and the real network subnet is 10.0.0.0 The gateway is a Cisco 2621 router setup in the 10.0.0.0 subnet. I need to figure out how to route internet access to the test network. I have one NIC on the ESX Set aside for the test network.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
