[Solved] Bridged Adaptor - Can't ping between machines

Post by tmelis »

Hi,

Can anyone please help me ?

I've installed VirtualBox on windows 2003 server and installed 2 new virtual machines running windows 2008 server.

I'm using "Bridged Adaptor" as network setting in VirtualBox.

Everything works fine. The 2 new Windows 2008 can acces the internet, using there own IP received from our Dhcp server.
However, from the host OS, I can't ping to the virtual machines. I also can't ping between the 2 virtual machines.

Does aynone know how i can fixed this?

Many thanks

Tim

Many thanks for your reply... It was the firewall. By default pinging is disabled in win 2008 server.

Thanks for your help...
