Verditious

- hospital receptionist guy, '50 First Dates'

Whats up guys. Im trying to install Astaro as virtual firewall for the home office,  (running as a Guest in ESXi, Server has 2 NIC's) and im unable to get the external NIC to resolve the usual IP that comcast has assigned to me ( not static but has been the same for years). Im stuck between it still showing a gateway of the class C private ip addressing scheme at 192.168.1.1 or some other new ip in the 98.x.x.x range that i cant seem to route any further. 

Suggestion?

    if you were running with a different nic before hand then you have to power down the cable modem..wait a minute..then power it back up.  All us cmodems bond to the mac of the nic when they come up.  if you are running dynamic macs on the virtual nics everything you bring up the vm you'll have to power cycle.  Assign a static mac to the wan vnic so you wan't have to power cycle every time.
