My host is a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.6.4 with a guest Windows 7 on VMWare Fusion.
When I set up the networking to Bridged I can ping the guest from the host. But when I use Host-Only, I cannot.
Usually running in Bridged mode is fine, but when I don't have network access (on a plane, for example) I thought I could use Host-Only and still be able to access resources on the guest from the host.
I need to do this b/c I am developing a Rails app that requires MS SQL server as the data store (not my decision, but it is what it is).
Here is what I get when I run ifconfig from the host:
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

And this is what I get when I run ipconfig on the guest:
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : localdomain

And this is what I get when I try to ping 192.168.200.128 from the host:
Request timeout for icmp_seq 0
Request timeout for icmp_seq 1
Request timeout for icmp_seq 2
Request timeout for icmp_seq 3

Request timeout for icmp_seq 4
ping: sendto: Host is down
Request timeout for icmp_seq 5
ping: sendto: Host is down
Request timeout for icmp_seq 6
The firewall is turned off on the client.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
