Thanks for the advise on this, I'm currently trying to find out what our new support contract number is, I may retire first its taking so long! Anyway, I indded created a Vapp network as CFOR suggested and set the IP's manually, the servers have all picked the details up correctly but none of the VM's can contact eachother.
Anyone got any ideas?
I think its because the environment doesn't need external access that the VM's were using the DC as their default gateway, but if I do it that way theres no way of doing that because the default gateway IP can't be in the IP Pool for the network. I've set the Vapp network with a different IP, and aal the VM's get changed, but because that IP isn't availble then they can't use it to contact other VM's
Thanks
Mike
