Hello,
I am using VMWare Infrastructure and setting up VMs using the Bridge Network Adapter. Everything worked before when I was using a generic Modem/Router combo as my default gateway with an IP of 192.168.0.1. All VMs could communicate without any issues.
I am now using a Cisco 3560 Layer 3 switch for my router. Settings below:
vlan 10
name data
interface vlan 10
ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
int fa 0/1
description Windows 7 PC
switchport access vlan 10
ip routing
My Windows 7 VM Host is able to ping the Cisco 3560 Switch/Router.
------------------------------------------------------------
VM Host running on Windows 7:
IP address: 192.168.0.10
Mask: 255.255.255.0
GW: 192.168.0.1
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
VM Guest1 running Windows Server 2003:
IP address: 192.168.0.15
Mask: 255.255.255.0
GW: 192.168.0.1
-----------------------------------------------------------
The VM Guest cannot ping the Gateway or the Host. The windows firewall is disbled in the VM Guest.
I am confused as to why my set up does not work. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
