I'm apparently having a difficult time understanding how the host and guests route traffic to each other. Sometimes it works but usually it doesn't.
I'm trying to reach a guest from the host (web and icmp) but the traffic is getting routed to the physical NIC's default gateway instead of to the host-only virtual network (verified with tracert). Why does it look like "route print" and "get-netroute" are showing different results?
