The way you deescribe it the problem is not the adapters in itself. In typical setups you give the physical adapters to the VIOS(es), create virtualised adapters for the other LPARs and have the VIOS act as a virtual switch to connect these layers.

You being unable to get outside the system means you probably have got the setup of this part wrong or not at all. You need to set up VLANs both for internal and external networks and "connect" these on the VIOS. See the documentation, especially "SEA" and "HEA", for details about the concepts involved.

I hope this helps.
