I have the following setup, Windows 7 Host, Windows XP Guest
Windows XP Guest Bridged adapter 1
Adapter 1: Bridged
IP 10.1.1.55
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Gateway 10.1.0.1
DNS 10.0.0.201 10.0.0.205
This adapter works correctly and gives me internet access
I have added a second private host only adapter on the guest
Windows XP host only Guest
Adapter 2 Adapter2: host only
IP 192.168.50.2
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Gateway DNS
On the Windows 7 host I have
Windows 7 Host Only Adapter (Vmnet1)
IP 192.168.50.1
Subnet 255.255.255.0
Gateway DNS
From the XP Guest VM I can ping both 50.1 and 50.2 no problems.
From the Windows 7 host I can ping my own 50.1 IP address but 50.2 times out.
Here is my virtual network editor screenshot showing the correct subnet, I have VMNet1 as the host-only adapter and DHCP turned off.
Why can I not ping 192.168.50.2 from the Windows 7 host?
I have tried disabling the firewall on both PCs, I have also tried restarting both the host and the guest.
