      Cannot ping the host from my PC. Also cannot ping my workstation from the Host.

      There is a VM working on the host, right? Can you ping the host from that, and vice versa?

        I think that is the 2008 server he's talking about, but I could be wrong.

              Or he restarted the host, and that 2008 Vm was actually running something....

                When I attempt to download the client that way it attempts to send me to the VMware website which I cannot connect to.

                  what DNS server is the 2008 server pointing to?
                  change it to 127.0.0.1

                  and try again

                    Assuming DNS is running on the 2008 server, it should get internet access after you do this. If not, change it to google 8.8.8.8 and try again, if it works, download the client then change it back to the original.

                      Problem with that is how is he accessing this? RDP? He could lose access.

                          why would changing the DNS change the connection?

                          Is it possible - sure, likely? seems low chances.

                            since you have already downlaoded it, can you access the \server\c$ share form anything on the network ? even if not your machine and get the download copied?

                              In this situation, I would not want to add the extra risk.

                                How are you getting to the 2008 server (is it a VM on this same ESXi server?)? RDP?

                                        were you able to move the install file from your desktop to the 2008 server?

                                          @Dashrender Supervisor came in for another update. I should just commit Seppuku. At least then I die as a warrior. Attempting now.

                                            Is the supervisor the one and only person asking for updates?
