Mar 6, 2015 at 3:44 comment added BradGreens I had to install VM's everything fresh, install VMWare tools, confirm Bridged was working, then switch to NAT, then I accessed my IPv4 IP with the correct port and directory and things worked out ok for me. Win7/VMWare Player 6. Not sure how long this will last....

Jul 17, 2014 at 18:12 comment added Mitch @harrymc, I tried workstation, still no luck here. I additionally tried turning off windows firewall completely on the host machine, still didn't work even then.
Jul 17, 2014 at 16:10 comment added harrymc Once I solved such a problem by downloading the trial version of VMware Workstation and doing the Bridged/NAT dance. I think the Workstation installation is more complete, but unfortunately that's a one-time solution if you don't buy it, and the problem can come back. So try first reinstalling VMware Player.

Jul 17, 2014 at 15:28 comment added harrymc Sometimes toggling the VM from Bridged to NAT helps, and if not, then sometimes switching back to Bridged helps. Reboot the VM every time and check ipconfig. You could also reinstall VMware Tools.

Jul 15, 2014 at 16:57 comment added Mitch Host unreachable when I attempt to ping. I can access shared folders. I'm using tomcat 6. Definitely is configured. Firewall is enabled on host machine, but not VM. Additionally, my IP in ipconfig differs completely from my public ip at whatismyip.com
Jul 15, 2014 at 16:48 comment added Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Can you ping the VM? Can you access shared folders on the VM? What web server are you using? Are you sure it's configured to answer calls from outside the machine? Do you have a firewall enabled?
