I'm probably overlooking something dumb (as is usual), but I'm having some issues with a test box I'm running. I have an ESX 4.1 box up and running without issue. Hosted on this are lots of Windows VM's, some Linux, etc., all of which work as expected. However, I'm wanting to do some experimentation without touching the live configuration (and don't have a spare server right now to use), so I loaded up ESX in a VM. This VM will not pull an IP address for the Service Console port. Everything comes up when it's booted, but DHCP times out. I know I could just hard set the IP, but I'd really like to know why the DHCP is failing.

Anyone have any tips?
