VMWare Installation - Gateway for Clients

[twildt]

I chose bridge mode(transparent), but on my clients unless i give them the ip address of the untangle box as their gateway they cannot ping the router???

VMWare virtual machine. I have checked to make sure i have 2 virtual switches seperating the physical NIC's, and they are correct on the external and internal.

This sounds like its not in bridge mode but in router mode instead, how to i make sure of this?

You don't assign clients to use a bridge as thier gateway.

Bridge mode vs Router mode is determined by Internal's configuration. If it's static, you're a router, if it's bridge, it's a bridge.

So my problem was because I didn't properly have "promiscuous" mode accepted on the vmware NIC's. All was fine after i turned the adapters to promiscuous accepted.
