Post ESXi4.1 vm host network problem
Hi,

I'm experiencing network problems with all the vm host on esxi4.1 not being able to communicate with each other and router.
The esxi4.1 install without any problem and i'm able to connect the esxi4.1 server and perform administrative task via vsphere. However i experience a problem which has puzzled me for the last few days.

The vm host within the ESXi are unable to communicate with each other and the vmhost cannot ping the default gateway.
My network card is Intel 1000 pro.

please assist. Thanks

Could you post an image of the networking setup (configuration \ networking)?

Are the VMs able to communicate with other hosts on your network or ping the ESXi host?

You might try a system reset and then add the VMs back to inventory.
