Question : how do i get my vmware working on my optiplex 755

here is my scenario: I have an Optiplix 755 tower. It has a dual core 64 bit processor and 5GB of ram. I have installed vmware esxi 4.0 on it. I have installed 2 intel 1000GT nics. ESXi install went just fine. I can see both Nics just fine. I have installed vmware vsphere client to administer this box. I have created a datastore and a vm. I now need to install the OS on the vm but i cannot get the console to connect to the dvd rom. Nor can i browse to it. The console screen just boots to a screen that shows "PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM. Operating system not found."  I have the BIOS set to boot from cd/dvd rom so i'm not sure what i may be doing wrong.          

Answer : how do i get my vmware working on my optiplex 755

I am certain that this cannot be achieved since an Internal Switch does not have an Active Network Adapter attached to it. When that's the case, Network Packets from one VM in a Port Group attached to the Internal vSwitch cannot communicate to the other VM on another Internal vSwitch even if they form part of the same cluster with the same naming convention being followed for a Port Group.
