Ping to virtual machine

Hi,

I've an Esxi 4.1 host with ip  address 192.168.107.93 and I've created on this host a virtual machine (Windows Server 2003) with ip  address 192.168.107.94. From the virtual machine I can ping all the pc in the physical network (the host 192.168.107.93, the gateway 192.168.107.100, the vsphere client 192.168.107.225...). The problem is that I can't ping the virtual machine from any pc in the physical network....

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

Best regards.

Diego

Is the ESXi host connected to a managed switch? In this case make sure the port is not restricted by port security settings. For Cisco the port should be configured with "switchport mode access" and/or make sure there's no "macro description cisco-desktop" configured on this port.

EDIT: And make sure it's not a firewall issue on the guest itself.
