Ping doesn't work

I am using Workstation 15.5.2 build-15785246.

All VMs are bridged and in the 192.168.43.0 network with DHCP address.

From each it is possible to ping the router (192.168.43.1), but none is able to ping the Host PC (192.168.43.101), nor can the PC ping the VMs.

The VMs are in Win 10, Xubuntu and Ubuntu Server with the basic settings of the new installations.

So no blocks have been activated in their firewalls.

I don't understand what I have to do.

Thanks in advance for your help

After several tests I came to the conclusion that Win 10 blocked the PING.

I don't know when this happened, maybe it's related to a recent Windows Update.

Once an incoming rule has been created in the Windows firewall, ping now works.

Two days ago I created a topic with a similar problem. See here: No network connection between host and guest vm

Are you able to ping one of your guests (VMs) from another physical computer in your network? (not HOST PC)

Best regards,
