Can't ping host from vmware guest using bridged networking
- by user199421
Host is Windows 7
Guest is Ubuntu 11.04
Network adapter is wireless
I can ping other computers on the network but not the host. No firewall are involved.
Sniffing the traffic with wireshark it looks like both the host and the guest are using the same MAC address. My guest simply doesn't receive a reply when asking for 192.168.1.101 (the host) My router has no problem giving both of them different IP addresses but maybe duplicate MAC address is the problem?
It seems logical that both will have the same MAC address (from the host point of view) but it strange that there is no work around for this because otherwise I don't see how the host and guess are supposed to communicate.
