I am running VMWare Player 3.1.2 on a Vista machine and I have two VM machines running- a linux distro, and a Server 2003I am having an issue with the VMs not being able to ping the host machineThe VMs can ping to each other though and the host machine can ping to them, it just can't receive the pingsThere is no firewall on the host machine and all of the systems use the same subnet and gateway, which can also be pinged by all of the machinesAny thoughts?
Two diagnostics: firstly see if the VMs have ARP cache entries on the host system (arp -a at a comamnd prompt)Secondly, from the host machine try pinging 255.255.255.255: you should get one response from every device on the netowrk, VM's includedIf these don't work it suggests the bridge connecting the VMs to the physical LAN is not propagating broadcasts correctly.
