Can't ping the ip of my virtual machine

Hi, let explain my case:

- One PC (IP0: 10.52.133.102 / SubNet: 255.255.255.0)

- One VM (winxp) with 2 IP addresses:

IP1: 10.52.133.105

IP2: 11.0.0.8 (This can not be changed)

Both of them are configured as bridged connection.

I want to access from IP0 to IP2 by IP1, i already use: route add 11.0.0.8 mask 255.255.255.255 10.52.133.105

when i try to ping IP2 (11.0.0.8) from 10.52.133.102 i don't get any response

i do get a response with IP1(10.52.133.105)

Any ideas, what i missed in my configuration??

Thanks!

Paul

You cannot do this directly using XP. You have to configure access at the gateway/router for the 11.x.x.x network. IP0 will go to it's default gateway to attempt to get to IP2. If there is not route on the gateway, then it will not get there.
