Bridge Mode - static IP - no ping

Post by Maik20 »

Hi

i have installed a debian guest and setup a static ip. this is the /etc/network/interfaces

Code: Select all

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.10
gateway 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
if i try to ping my gateway i get this result:

Code: Select all

ping 192.168.1.1
192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.1.10 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
if i ping the gateway from my host the ping works great.
I disabled the windows firewall and the antivir software.

Maybe someone can help me.

I tried to change from bridged to NAT and to Host-Only both wont work too!
I also tried to change the ip of the "VirtualBox Host-Only adapter" of the host to 192.168.1.15: Host-Only wont work

Put the host-only back to the defaults and then enable ICMP in the Windows host.

Since I have no idea which Windows you are using you can find it yourself.
Google enable icmp in windows
