I am not able to ping any machine(not even the host) from Guest VM in bridged mode. But I got an IP which is on the same subnet as host. I can ping my guest VM from the host and can use ssh to connect to the guest.

I am using Vmware workstation 6.5. Guest VM is a centos VM and host is windows xp.

Every thing works fine in NAT mode. Any clues as to what could be happening. I tried disabling all the firewalls I have.
