How to Allow VMs to ping Host?

Hi folks, I want to know how can Allow VMs inside my VMware Workstation to ping my Host ( wanna allow it to from the Firewall and I don't want to turn  it of )

I'm able to ping my MS Server from my Host but NOT vice versa so I'm looking forward to know how can I allow Server to ping Host

Many thanks in Advance

Hi

Please disable firewall  from both  the machine  and in  vMware  (machine  settings) make network  adapter to  NAT  .  Hope  it will resolve  ..:)
