Greetings all,

I have search the forms, read the manual ch 6, and tried troubleshooting my issue, but as it seems I still have not been able to ping between two boxes. I discovered this after trying to join a VM to a domain. I am trying to setup a training test domain in which I just need the network between the two windows domain controllers to work

I cannot post images yet or I would.

Well, I'm not sure where the below server is getting the 169.254.131.4 address? From?

Ethernet adapter Ethernet:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . :
   Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter

But, here is the other server which I think look more than normal?

What am I missing? Or do you know why the ip address 169 is showing in server 1?

Okay, goober here, I think I figured out the issue. It just took talking about it here lol.

The ipaddress 192.168.56.100 was some how already in use... not sure how... but whatever. I can not ping between the two guest.

1) Yes you can attach images here, 2) No need to, text is much preferred when possible. It's smaller, searchable and quotable...

Search for "APIPA". Or search for "169.254 address", same thing. Search engines can sometimes be your best/fastest friend...

Have you checked your guests' firewall? A lot of times^[1] ICMP traffic may not be allowed, which would prevent 'ping' from working.

^[1]: Depending on the guest, you didn't mention what it is; a "box" is not a complete/correct version for any operating system that I know of...
