Ping from guest OS to Windows 10 host not working but vice versa working

Post by dpkinfraspecialist »

I have Ubuntu guest OS on top of Windows 10 machine. I use Ciscoanyconnect to connect to internet from my Windows Machine.
My connections and internet from Ubuntu guest OS works, I am able to ping my windows host machine IP from guest OS. But if I try to ping in command line or try to access ports of guest host in browser from local host its not working.

I am but able to ssh from localhost to remote host using vagrant and using virtualbox tool. Any specific configuration updates do I need to do?

Vagrant is a program that relies on VirtualBox but modifies its configuration files in unknown ways to us, mainly the host networking. It is not supported on these VirtualBox user forums, they have their own Vagrant support channels.

If you are having this problem with a standalone version of VirtualBox (after you've completely uninstalled Vagrant), then we can continue this discussion.

Windows 10 by default ignores messages from an unknown network connection.
