I have setup few VMware machines. namely Windows 10/7/XP and linux Kali/CentOS/Metasploitable
I have tried seting up the Network Modes as following on all the machines one at a time
Host-only
Bridged
Each machine at one using same network mode on same network.
But I am always able to ping Windows --> Linux
but never from linux --> Windows or other linux
I have also disabled the host firewall, changed inbound outbound rules to allow File Printer sharing and Echo Request on IPv4.
i can browse internet on linux but not ping other VMs.
What is the error here ? I have tried it setting same VM network for for the machines but not able to ping linux to windows.
"Host only" means exactly that: the network allows traffic to and from the host that is running VMware Workstation only, not to other VMs. You would have to setup the VMs with Bridged networking for them to behave like physical machines on your LAN and be able to PING each other. – SamAndrew81 – 2019-06-15T14:39:43.297
