EFW 2.3 on VMWare problems

Hi All
I'm trying to configure EFW2.3 on a VMWare machine to use it as my gateway on my LAN for both the Host and all other client PC's on the LAN, but I can only get it to work for the VMWare Host machine and other VM's on the same Host where the EFW VM is hosted...
I have about 5 Physical PC's on the LAN.
All in the 192.168.0.x range and 255.255.255.0 netmask.
On my Host machine, I have 2x LAN cards.
For the EFW VM I assigned the 2nd LAN (red) and also made it "bridged" mode - gave the "green" LAN on this EFW VM a 192.168.0.200 IP, and when I then tell my HOST or any of the other VM's on that same machine to use 192.168.0.200 as the gateway, they all have internet access. If I try to use the EFW VM as any of the other physical PC's gateway, it does not work.
My HOST and the other physical PC's are all either Win7 64 or RHEL 5.0
I suspected firewall issues on the Win7 host, but even disabling that did not work.
Any help would be appreciated since I would like to de-commission the physical PC currently acting as my EFW firewall/gateway.

Are you using ESX/ESXi or Server?
It sounds like you have your vSwitch misconfigured.
Also, what do you mean by "igned the 2nd LAN"?
I have set up Endian on an ESXi server with 4 different VLANs (red, green, blue and orange), using both physical network adapters in NIC bonding. The switch the cards are connected to also has 4 VLANs configured, and the internet gateway is pugged into the switch using one of the RED VLAN ports.
Just make sure your virtual switch has the same settings as the physical network.

Hi Magu
Thx for the reply.
The illegible text should have been: "I assigned".
My ADSL router is in Bridged mode and has Ethernet interface, hence the need for 2x physical LAN's on the PC - 1 for LAN and one to act as simple interface only for the ADSL router.
So, I "replicated" my install of EFW on the VM machine exactly as I have it for the current physical machine - 1 normal PC with 2x LAN cards - one NIC for LAN and the other for the interface with the router.
the NIC for the LAN is then the "green" interface in EFW and the NIC for the interface to bridged router is the "red" interface.
something on the VM setup is now simply preventing routing from the green to red if the requests are NOT from that same host PC.
I can still ping and access the VM EFW from other PC's on the LAN, I just cannot get EFW to act as gateway for any PC except the host for the VM EFW, or other VM's on the host...

could this "issue" be linked in some way with the internal "loop" bug mentioned elsewhere on this site?
