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?
