Windows host cannot ping Ubuntu guest

Post by hjasonmurphy »

I have a Windows 8.1 Host with a Ubuntu 14.04 Guest using bridged networking. The guest can ping the host. The guest can get to the Internet. Other machines on my LAN can ping the guest and access the guest's webpages. All machines are on the same subnet and get reserved addresses from the router. The host machine cannot ping the guest and cannot access it's webpages. What could I be missing?

Thanks in advance.
