ESX Isolate network traffic

Hi, I have two guest VM's in one ESX 3.0.2 box. I'd like to make it so that they cannot talk to each other. Right now the box has two NIC's, one for the VM's and the other is the service console. Right now they both have the same default route. Thank you.

Both guest ares runining Windows 2003.
The best way to make the VMs not to talk to each other is by enabling the Windows Firewall present in the OS.

Alternatively, you could add a Dual NIC Port or a Quad NIC Port to the Server and bind one of the VMs to a new vSwitch which inturn is bound to one of the newer NIC Ports.

I just looked into the and it seems that the Microsoft Firewall canot block an IP address without a port.
