guest cannot connect ping another guest SOLVED

For my host I am using vb version 5 on a windows 7 Pro 64 machine. I have two windows 8.1 64 machines guest and I have installed the guest addition on both machines.
Both machines have 4gb's of ram and three cpu cores. I have network setting set to bridge adapter.

My issue is I can ping the host machine and host can ping both guest, but a guest cannot ping another guest. Both guest can connect to the internet. I don't really understand the network settings and I'm assuming this is were my issue is. Any ideas on why the two cannot ping each other?

Thanks!

Make sure that icmp is enabled on all guests and if that does not help we will need to see the network configuration of the guest/s and host.

I enabled icmp but I still cannot ping from guest to guest. Attached are my ipconfig for two guests and host.

Both guest have the same MAC address. Change one of them and it should start working.
