Hello! I'm just switching from Xenserver to ESXi. Created a couple of VMs and neither of them gets an IP from our DHCP server (DHCP server is a physical PC), and instead they get some 192.168.x.y internal number which does not allow them connection to the internet.
Seems like one way to achieve this is to install a VM that is a router, like M0n0wall, and route traffic to connect to outside network and finally get to the internet. But that is not what I need to achieve.
I need to have VMs that are server to get a reserved IP from our DHCP server, and then our local windows client should be able to access them directly.
I have been looking for this on google and forums but I can't seem to find how to configure the VMs to belong to our LAN directly.
I figured VMware would have an easier way to do this than XenServer, but I've been stuck on this for a day now and getting really frustrated as I'm not getting ahead with this project at all, stuck on this little problem...sigh...
Thanks for your help.
Ger.
