TCP/IP communications between VMWare host and guest?

Question

I have VMWare Server installed on the host running Windows 7 x64. As a guest VM, I am running Windows Server 2008 x64. I chose bridged networking for the guest.

On the guest VM, can ping and access other computers on the network, but not the host. When I tried to ping the host from the guest, I get "destination host unreachable" error. What do I need to do to enable communications between the guest and host?

Thanks!

Answer 4

LOL at the power who said to replace the NIC card.



Check that the host isn't running Windows' built-in firewall which by default blocks UDP messages (which would block ping).

Answer 5

you will probably have to add a new network card.

Since you host OS and VM are on the same PC you probably share the same IP address.

You can change it by selecting for the Host to use wireless and the VM to use LAN.

Have a good day
