Host interfaces in Windows

Post by jackvb »

Hi,

I tryed to setup network connections between a windows host and a fedora guest. It's almost working. I created 3 network interfaces.

eth0 is set as a NAT interface. I can use Internet using this interface.
eth1 is connected to the Host Interface 1. It's for an internal connection between the guest and the host. I'am able to ping the host from the guest and the guest from the host.
I wanted to connect eth2 to the second inerface Host Interface 2 but it doesn't work.
I configured interfaces:
IP(eth1-guest)=192.168.100.40 IP(Host Interface 2)=192.168.100.10.
IP(eth2-guest)=192.168.50.40 IP(Host Interface 2)=192.168.50.10
Unfortunetly pinging quest using 192.168.50.40 from the host is unpossible.
What am I doing incorrectly?

regards
Jack

It's hard to solve a "doesn't work"-error when not all the needed information is given. Please provide more information.

I can't ping the guest from the host. A firewall is configure not to block the request.

NAT does not support pinging.

As I mentioned before the connection using NAT works correctly. The connection to the host interface 1 (host only) works correctly too. The only problem is with the second host interface (host only).
