Can you upload screenshots of your vSwitch and Network Configuration ?

Are the ESXi hosts and VMs on the same network ?

Is the ESXi and VM Default Gateway correct and the same ?

Is this a new implementation, or just stopped working, e.g. has never worked ?

Remember every TCP/IP device, has it's own uniqie TCP/IP configuration, so your VM OS network information could be correct, but ESXi is different, they do not share the same network stack! (although physical network connection could be the same!)

The host and the VM's are in the same network, when i ping from a pc in another network i can ping a vm wokstation but i cannot pin the ESXi Host.

I've attached the configuration

Yes, i can ping from the host and the VM ..
it would seem, that there is a routing fault, getting to the 192.168.1.x network from the current network 192.168.2.x.

Firewall issue ?

Can you screenshot the DNS and Routing section

FIrewall,  i don't have a restriction in my my vpn connection .

i connect only by IP i don't use a dns for the names resolution.

The command : esxcfg-route show me this information

/bin # esxcfg-route
VMkernel default gateway is 192.168.2.254
Please screenshot the DNS and Routing information, and can you also screenshot the networking section, so I can see the vSwitch and VMs, and vSwitch.

Can you also show me the ping output to 192.168.2.254 from VM and ESXi.

Can you also show me the output from a traceroute to 192.168.2.254

what hops are available between 192.168.2.243 and the 1 network ?

do you have internet access from this host ?

if so traceroute to 158.152.1.222

I've attached the file, see from the page 7 to the end of file NetworkProblemVMDRP_V2.pdf

Thanks a lot ...
NetworkProblemVMDRP-V2.pdf
traceroute is missing, to 192.168.2.254 and 158.152.1.222

to check which hop it fails on....

e.g. is the data packet going out the correct network interface, and getting to 192.168.2.254, and then failing after this hop.

has this just stopped working ?

do you have additional routes setup in Windows to reach the 192.168.1.x network

not, is the first time that i need acces the ESXi directly for save some backups.

Probably the système take another interface, in VMware how i can route the traffic by an specific interface ???
