Inbound Ping to VM not replying

I can ping outbound from my VM guest to the mac physical host, but I cannot ping inbound from the mac to the VM guest.  I tried bridge and NAT and don't know what is going on anymore.

VM guest IP address 192.168.2.173

Gateway IP address 192.168.2.1

Macbook IP address 192.168.2.154

255.255.255.0 subnet

What is wrong with my VM settings if in "bridge"???

Hi,

This is almost always a firewall issue.

Especially in bridged mode, this should just work if not a firewall is blocking this.

Note that the firewall can be either on the guest or the host.
