No communication between physical and vms

Need help with no communications between hosts and VM and vice versa.

VMs can ping one another but cannot access physical computers or the internet.

Host and physical machines cannot access the VMs.

Environment setup:

  • VMware Workstation 15 Pro 15.5.0 build-14665864
  • Windows 10
    • Antivirus and firewalls turned off on all physical machines and virtual window machines.
  • Network adaptors are set to Bridged (Automatic)
  • Connected and Connect at power on are both selected.
  • Bridged: Connected directly to the physical network is selected
    • Replicate physical network connection state (not selected, but selecting it does not fix the issue)
  • All VMs use the same network setting as the physical machines (other than IP addresses).
  • Using static IP address with same gateway and dns settings as physical machines

VMs can ping each other, but not gateway, DNS or host machines.

Physical machines cannot ping any VM.

 

Any suggestions?

Check whether the physical switch port has port security, or another similar setting enabled, which restricts the number of MAC addresses allowed to login to the port. This is also often an restriction with wireless networks.
