ESX testing in an isolated network

Ok so with ESX 4.1 out I wanted to stage a separate network to play with it in.

This is all within my normal ESX cluster (yes ESX within ESX, remember just for TESTING)

This network is completely isolated from our Production Network.

I have two esx servers in it and one windows box with vCenter 4.1 loaded up.

All 3 have had their hosts files edited to reflect the DNS names to eachother.

The ESX servers however aren't happy, they will not ping each other, my vCenter server cannot ping the ESX servers.

Any idea what might be going on here? I gave the ESX servers a default gateway that doesn't exist on this network, not sure if thats causing the problem or not.
 
If the network is in fact isolated and you aren' connecting networkst, no default gateway necessary.
Similar IPs (192.168.0.1 through 192.168.0.3)
Same subnet mask 255.255.255.0

But this is after your NICs are operational.
Your NICs are operational, right?
Same VLAN?

Interesting: Virtual in Virtual ...
We'll call it a virtual cluster.

Yeah ESX within ESX, just seems wrong but it works, and seems to work well.

ESX forced me to set a gateway so I did thinking it shouldn't matter and I don't think it does. Something else I think is at play here just unsure what it might be.

The NIC's are operational. As far as I can tell. the VM's running ESX are online and connected. they are showing when I do an ifconfig. I can ping local host and their IP address but not the other ESX or the vCenter Server.

Same Network Group
