When ever I ping something on the local LAN (or WAN), the replies are redirects from the HOST IP, then 4 duplicates of the reply packet from the correct IP. If I ping the host IP, they reply just fine. I am pretty sure something is wrong with the SBS nic and VMware bridge protocol.
The Host is SBS2008 64bit (i know its not supported, but it works at another site), Guest: CentOS 5.4 32bit.
Sample:
SBS: 192.168.1.10 (1 NIC, win firewall off)
CentOS: 192.168.1.9 (bridged)
Some other PC: 192.168.1.11
