How to implement networking with nested vmware virtual machine?

There is a rather interesting task:
There is a server with Vmware ESXi, virtual machines are spinning on it, among which there is a VM with W2008 R2 inside which I try to spin up VMWare workstation and start a virtual machine with CentOS 6.2
, that is, the scheme turns out like this:
Router-> Physical server-> VmWare ESXi->Vm_Windows 2008R2->VmWare Workstation->VM CentOS
Everything starts up, works, but the network cannot be overcome.
in the internal guest virtual machine, the network adapter is configured in bridge mode, i.e. as if growing together with the intermediate VM.
but it turns out an unpleasant effect, the most nested virtual machine does not get access to the external network.
at the same time, there is a connection with the host VM, inside the average virtual machine everything interacts remarkably in both directions, Centos services are available.
I began to try to figure out what was happening with the packets, I get the following picture:
1. with the nested VM I send a ping to the router (Mikrotik)
2. it sends, the middle one sends
3. Mikrotik receives the packet and responds to icmp to the correct address and poppy (in arp there is an entry about this VM with CentOS in the Mikrotik table)
4. but the answer does not reach back, where the package goes, the installation failed,
thinking that there may be a problem in the network settings of centOS made an experiment: I
installed a VM with Windows 7 from scratch, it has nothing in the network settings did not touch and the exact same picture is observed there.
Somehow this VM with windows 7 got the correct settings from DHCP, in the Leases the address is listed as issued, but there is also a two-way connection with the parent VM, and there is no connection with the outside world, the
firewalls are turned off, all possible options in vmware workstation and vmware ESXi have been tried.
I understand that the reverse routing is somehow wrong, but I don’t know what to do

sorry, why the hell is this nesting, deploy CentOS directly on ESXi
