Mac OS 10.8 VM cannot reach subnet VLANS / different from the host with Fusion 5

I have a server of Mac Mini significantly improved, high-top of the range, operating behind a firewall, Zyxel USG.  As the host, the Mac Mini runs a server OS X 10.8 virtualized with VMware Fusion 5 (mainly as an e-mail server).  To avoid opening the ports directly to the host-MacMini and LAN1 to better customize security and settings area, I want to put the virtual machine on VLAN1.

However, no package VLAN is pass to the virtual machine.  I tried two configurations:

Home > VLAN1 in Network preferences > VMware Fusion set to network via VLAN1 bridge > comments "Ethernet" connects effectively to the VLAN1

Home > (LAN1) Ethernet in Network preferences > set VMware Fusion to bridge network through LAN1 > comments > add VLAN1 to guest network preferences

In both situations, * zero packets * make out of the VM/comments on VLAN1.

My suspicion is that VMware Fusion 5 does not support packages VLAN marked.

Advice/suggestions for how to get the virtual machine to join VLAN1 or really, just a different subnet?  Are there drivers tagging VLAN for VMware Fusion 5?

The FIXED - partially, at least.

It had to do with the package being truncated by VMware.  After I have configured VLAN1 on the host, and then in the hardware parameters, chose 'Jumbo Packet Size'.  Then I jumpered the VM via connection host VLAN1.  ALTO!  This works.

However, trying to connect to the virtual machine as a direct customer of VLAN1 is always unsuccessful. The virtual machine which truncates the packets when it sends them between the host and the guest (and vice versa).  However, if tagging VLAN is the host to level (as I have it configured), then the virtual machine can communicate successfully on the VIRTUAL LAN.
