I have observed that traffic from Guest PC is not replied back even though traffic is hitting the adapter.
I have Ubuntu 16.0.4 on which i have installed Vmware and then i have Guest OS from where i have attached the host only adapter or Nat adapter. In both cases i can see guest is able to get IP address. In case of Nat adapter configured the device is able to reach any destinations outside the Ubuntu. If i try to access ubuntu resources no responses. I disabled firewall on ubuntu but still same result.
