How to access my VM guests from other devices in same WiFi network?

I have a Windows 10 host that has guest VMs running NAT.

The host and other physical devices on the network are on 192.168.0.x subnet

The guest VMs seem to be on 192.168.32.x subnet

The guest VMs can ping everyone (physical devices on the same network, and the guest VMs).

The host can ping everyone (physical devices on the same network, and the guest VMs).

However, the other physical devices on the same network cannot ping the guest VMs.

Any idea why?

You need NAT rules for inbound traffic to the VMs: https://sites.google.com/a/smccme.edu/vmware-workstation-port-forward-to-vm-in-nat/
