That's what I thought... and they are all 192.168.0.x addresses. So why might have changing the subnet mask from 255.255.248.0 to 255.255.255.0 fixed the issue?

Actually I still can't ping the esxi host by name from my workstation, but logging into vCenter from my workstation I now seem to have full functionality (opening consoles). I'll try to figure that out tomorrow...

That was it! I thought that it would be okay because the 255.255.248.0 netmask included the 255.255.255.0 subnet... but apparently I don't understand subnetting very well I appreciate the help very much

It looks like everything on the host is acceptable. I can ping the host by DNS name from the DC and he vcenter server, just not my workstation. The only thing I saw is that some of my machines have a netmask of 255.255.248.0 and some are 255.255.255.0, but they are all 192.168.0.x, so ...that...

The workstation is set to use the DC as primary DNS. quick ipconfig confirms this. I can ping everything by DNS name from the workstation except for the esxi host. However, the workstation is not part of the domain. Should that matter?

Just tried disabling it on the DC and the workstation...no change :-\

So, as it turns out I can't ping the host by DNS name from my workstation. I can't ping my vCenter server by DNS name OR IP address from my workstation, but I can log into vCenter from my workstation. I can ping my host by IP address, but not DNS name. I have tried removing and redoing the...

Thank you guys for all the responses. I will try these as soon as I get home today.

I have a vCenter server set up on ws 2008 R2 on my domain. My domain controller and DNS server is also ws 2008 R2. When I log into vCenter server from vSphere Client on my W7 desktop (which is not a member of my domain, but is set to use the DC as its DNS server) I cannot access the consoles of...

+1 Check the SuperMicro distributors in Sweden above. I am using the SuperMicro X9SCM-F-O with the E3-1230 and 16GB RAM. Currently 4 VMs (3 Windows Server one pfSense) running smoothly. Great board, but the firmware that it came with (1.1a) had issues when I loaded two PCI cards- it was fine...

Indeed! I just set it up a few weeks ago, so my back up solution is not fully implemented as of yet. But I have two 2TB seagates in external enclosures connected to the Synology's eSATA ports. Don't actually have the backups "configured" yet, hopefully this week. I did already have a drive...

With your price range I would go with Synology's new DS1512+. I just bought one and loaded it with 5 x 2TB seagates. I REALLY like the DS1512+. Currently I have iSCSI set up on it that is my vmfs datastore for my esxi hosts, and I set up iSCSI multipathing as well. I also have an NFS file store...

The E3-1230 is doing great so far, eating up everything I throw at it. This box puts out noticeably less heat than any of my other boxes. (The worst is my i7 920 machine, but a lot of that is the GPU)

Thanks for the info, guys. I currently have a single host with a single LUN.... :-\

I was going to use a USB stick but decided to just use a very small SSD instead because of this (taken from Pg. 29 of http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/to...etup-guide.pdf "Due to the I/O sensitivity of USB and SD devices the installer does not create a scratch partition on these devices. As...
