Cannot ping VMware guests over Bridged adapter

Posted: 20. Jan 2017, 22:37

I have 2 Redhat 5 Guests on a Redhat 5 host, the guests connecting to the outside network with Bridged adapters. When I ping several of my guests running on a VMWare ESXi/vCenter cluster, I get no response to the ping, even though all the machines are on the same subnet and in the same vlan. I can ping a third, physical machine from the guests running on VirtualBox and also the guests running on VMware without any problem. Below are some of the settings of the machines.

VirtualBox Redhat 5 Guest:

The Guests on the VirtualBox are set up to be a test of our Oracle RAC database, so this is somewhat of a conundrum.. Without these machines being able to talk to one another we cannot get out Job Submission test server running.. Any help would be appreciated..
