      I see ESX01 and ESX02. ESX01 has the vcenter file, which is what I am accessing to view the VM's typically but nothing else

      earlier - I wonder how many hosts he has?

      2 working 1 down. This was walked into

      Do you have one physical box with ESXi installed or more than one?

        2 separate ESXi hosts that are functional. One in each building

          @JaredBusch Must have broken the keyboard out of frustration. One of the keys wasn't working. I'm in now.

              Use the TUI to get and show all of the IP info

                  Perhaps some helpful information

                  The hardware is running ESXi and has it's own IP address - what is it?

                  You can find out what the IP of the ESXi server is by going to the data center and looking on the screen0_1473363989351_IMG_20160908_144434.jpg

                  The VM that is the down DC has it's own IP, what is it?

                    This is using the correct information, verified on the host.

                      ah so now we know you were connecting to the wrong VMHost.
                      good. progress.

                      Can you ping it?

                            Does the host network connection on this host have any activity lights?

                                good call - check the network connection from that server to the switch.

                                try pinging it from another computer on the network.

                                    No, once he verifies the subnet he needs to begin testing from the ESXi host and not the rest of the network. We have likely finally found the problem.

                                      @wirestyle22 please confirm the subnet mask and DNS on the VMHost in questions.

                                        OK so then the hypervisor hardware appears to be working. From the hypervisor console you need to check the NIC settings and make sure the netmask, gateway IP address are all accurate.

                                        As a last step if you still can't access the system, check to make sure the switch is working. Connect a laptop to the same switch, with an IP address in the same range as the hypervisor and see if you can ping the hypervisor from that laptop.

                                          damn can't do pictures.

                                          From the ESXi server console - do what JB asked - get the full Network information. You'll have to log into the ESXi console and navigate the DOS like interface to show it.
