Bridged networking not working with nested VMware Workstation

I am having an issue that I can't seem to find any answer to.... 

 

We are running Vsphere 5.5 and I have 2 Guests each running Windows 7 64-bit.  Each of these guests has VMware Workstation 10 running on them.  When we P2V the systems we followed all the instructions to allow nested VMware Workstation.  However, we are running into an issue where the Bridged Networking will not work.  Both of the Win7 guests are on the same vlan and all of the VMs in Workstation are on the same network as well.  However, while the 2 Windows 7 guests can ping each other and each of the guests can ping the VMs that are hosted locally, they cannot connect to the systems on the other guest running workstation.

 

I tried to upgrade the Guest NIC to VMXNet3, but that did not help. 

 

All of the research I have done brings me to people who are having the opposite problem (ESXi nested in VMware Workstation). 

 

How can I get the 2 bridged networks to connect?

 

Thanks!
