Able to Ping but cannot received

Hi there,

I am able to ping google.com

However, I am able to see like google.com (172.xx.xx.xx).

When the ping is done, like 5 packet transmitted but zero packet recieved. How do I go about re-mediating it?

I am using NAT for this though.

That doesn't necessarily mean that you have Internet connection. The name might be resolved by a local device (e.g. your router).

Are you able to reach any other public addresses from the VM?

Please check whether e.g. your host's firewall blocks the VMs traffic.

Hi there,

I was actually able to ping, just that the connection is intermittent using using the Linux VM.

When I do it on my guest machine, I don't have such an issue.

I am using NAT with static IP set on windows btw.
