Workstation 10 - VMs with 2 VMNET connections lose connectivity

I have setup 2 guest vms on workstation 10.

Each host has 2 network adapters connected to VMNET 10 and VMET11

The issue is when both Network adapters are connected the hosts cannot ping each other(aka no connectivity)

If I remove one adapter connected to VMNET11 on both vms then ping works fine.

If both adapters are connected to the same VMNET also there is no issue.

VM1 - Win 2008R2

Network adapter 1 -- VMNET10 -- subnet 10.10.2.0/24

Network adapter 2 -- VMNET11 -- subnet 10.10.3.0/24

VM2 - Win 2008R2

Network adapter 1 -- VMNET10 -- subnet 10.10.2.0/24

Network adapter 2 -- VMNET11 -- subnet 10.10.3.0/24

Thanks in advance

I'm only curious about why you'd need to have two NICs on each of the two VM guests.  Are you trying to build two networks?

Another thing is that, if I add a new network, my subnet IP is 192.168.x.0.  Why do you want to change it to yours 10.10.x.0?  In another word, can you not use the preset subnet IP?
