Hello, Vmware is a great platform for ZS, I have an extensive VM network in one server working well. Firstly can you access the ip of Vmware as displayed on the monitor that is directly connected to the Vmware PC? Also check the network configuration in Vmware, be sure that the network card assigned to ZS is actually connected to your LAN. I run a server with 8 NIC’s and it took a bit to get all working as needed. The old ping test is best, ping you Vmware pc and then ping your ZS ip address.
