it appears that your hosting provider doesn't have dhcp running or your guest would likely be picking up an address automatically.

did your hosting provider give you an address/address range to use for your guests?

you'll likely have to statically configure the ip address once you've completed the guest operating system install.

this is not an esxi/vmware configuration setting.

on windows, this would be done in control panel. in linux, you can either do it via command line or through the gui.

what guest operating system are you using? if linux, which distribution? are you using the gui or are you console-only?

What is your Guest OS type?

Setting up an IP address in the console of a VM is just like assigning an IP on a physical system. Ensure you have the network your trying to place the VM on set on the physical adapter You have 1 physical adapter on that switch on the 176.53.xxx network that is supporting the network your ESX(i) system is on and your VMs in the current set up.

Are there other physical adapters that aren't attached to vSwitches?

First of all, please check whether your Dell Server hardware is under the system requirement to install ESXi.

Here's the link to check the minimum hardware requirements:-

To configure the network, please have a look at the EXi 4.1 setup guide, please refer to page 48, 51 and 52:- http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r41/vsp_41_esxi_i_vc_setup_guide.pdf
