I am running a XP VM under VMPLayer 3.1.4
The VM was taken (snapshot) from a XP machine with cabled connection and now is hosted on another XP machine connecting to LAN through wireless
I can ping:
VM from host
Host from VM
Any other machine on same network from VM
Any other machine on same network from Host
Can access internet from Host as well as VM
but can not ping:
Either Host or VM from any other machine on the network.
Have tried following solutions:
a. Make sure that the VM is not under NAT: It is bridged.
b. Install updated version of VMWare Tools
c. No ip conflict for the VM on network. Its getting IP from my dlink router dhcp
I dont know if it matters. but the only 'non-standard' thing I can think of is that I created this VM by creating a snapshot (VHD) of a existing XP machine using a tool provided by sysinternals (and not the VMWare tool). I then created a VM by hand on Host and changed the disk file to my 'sysinternals-created-VHD'
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Here are ipconfig logs from host and guest:
