Can anybody tell me how to get vmware to work with a Softlayer dedi? I have successfully installed vms before on a different service provider but somehow Softlayer's network is configured differently.

I use vmware for virtualization and the vm is on bridge network.

I input the right details ip, gateway, subnet inside the vm but it still doesn't connect. If I changed to NAT its working - but it uses the dedi's ip. Any way I can make bridging work in this network?
