vm workstation guest and vbox guest cannot ping each other

Post by fkong2000 »

I have both VM Workstation Oracle Linux Guest and VBOX oracle linux guest. Both using Bridged networking. All the VBOX guests can ping eath other, same for VM guests OS. But if Vbox trying communicating VW workstation guests, ping hangs.

nslookup from either Vbox guests or VM guests are all good. But VBOX (4.3.26) guests , VM workstation (9) guest cannot communicate each other. Could you please provide some assists?

I use windows 7 desktop to host both VBOX 4/3/26 and VM Workstation 9.
Thanks!

The first thing is this is not a VMWare support forum. Be that as it may, I don't believe you can run both VMWare Workstation and VirtualBox correctly at the same time.

It kinda matters as well what kind of network we're talking about. NAT? Bridged? Host-only?

I am using "Bridged" network solution for both VBOX and VM workstation. Plus all Guests have static IP and same routing Gateway
