Windows host unable to ping linux guest vms

fortpointuiguy · ‎05-08-2013

I have a brand new Windows 7 system (the host) and I've installed Workstation 9.

I have two Ubuntu guest machines installed.

My system is connected to a local router all on the 192.168.1.x subnet

Here's my problem:

My guest systems can ping each other, the internet and other systems on my local subnet.

The host can reach the internet and other systems on my local subnet BUT NOT the guest systems.

Both quest systems are configured to have a Bridged Network Connection.

I've shutdown the windows firewall and that doesn't seem to help the situation.

Any help or information would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks!

Are you able to ping the guests from other systems on the network, i.e. do the guests have a firewall/block ICMP traffic?

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, other systems on my local network can reach the guests.

The only machine that can't reach the guests is the host machine itself...

Thanks.

I have 2 questions:

1) Are you using wireless adapter on host?

2) Are you using nic teaming?

Show us the following info from host pls:

1) Output of

netsh wlan show interfaces

2) Output of

netsh lan show interfaces

3) Output of

ipconfig /all

And ifconfig from guests.

wlnx - thanks so much for the response. here's all of the information you asked for. The only thing i'm not 100% on is nic teaming but I don't believe i have anything like that configured. Thanks!

1.) not using wireless adapter on host - using wired connection

2.) I did not know what nic teaming was. I looked it up and it does not look like anything like that has been configured on my system.

Wow, I see many letters. =)) Could you ping both guests from host and from other system in your network and show us your arp-table?

BTW, can guests reach the host?

fortpointuiguy · ‎05-13-2013

Thanks for getting back to me.

So, my IP Addresses have changed a bit because I have a new guest that I'm currently using but I'm experiencing the same issue. I'm therefore only pinging just one guest at this point.

The guests cannot reach the host and vice-versa.

So, the new guest is Ubuntu as well and its IP Address is 192.168.1.19

192.168.1.19 (guest)

192.168.1.21 (host)

ARP Table from Guest when pinging from host (192.168.1.21) to guest (192.168.1.19)

s2support@s2ncinit:~$ arp -a

? (192.168.1.19) at 00:0c:29:e2:74:77 [ether] on eth0

Is it correct that you can reach one (new) guest from host? If it is, try to remove network interfaces from unreachable guests and create new ones. Maybe, it'll help you.

fortpointuiguy · ‎05-13-2013

Sorry - no, what I meant to say (but I know I confused things) was that I've added a new guest and that is the one that I'm working with right now

BUT NO the guest cannot see the host or vice-versa.

So, I'm still in the same situation just with a new VM from the time that I first entered this problem.

Thanks!

wlnx · ‎05-15-2013

Well...

I completely confused.

Please, ping both guests from host (yes, pings will fail) and show me host's arp-table after this.

Then ping both guests from another machine in your network and show me arp-table of the machine.

And tell me IP-addresses of the guests, host and another machime, that you used to ping.
