I have created a custom host only network VMNet2(without dhcp) in VMware workstation and connected my three VMs with this network. But the problem is I cannot ping any VM from any other VM, However I can ping the host VMNet2 adapter from the guest. I checked the route
in my guest VMs everything is fine there. I tried to take tcpdump
for the ping and found that arp request for the destination guest did not get response. Can anyone explain about this? My VMware worksation is installed on Windows 7 and I used Ubuntu 12.04 as guest VMs.
Following are my network configurations:
Guest 1 : IP 192.168.91.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
Guest 2 : IP 192.168.91.3 netmask 255.255.255.0
Guest 1 : IP 192.168.91.4 netmask 255.255.255.0
Guest can ping Host machine with VMNet2 adapter id 192.168.91.1 but guest VMs cannot ping each other
host only
is notguest-to-host-to-guest
