Vista - Can't ping another VM

I can't get 2 VM's to ping one another.

The host machine is XP Pro.
Both vm's are Virtual PC
One is running Server 2003, the other is XP Pro.
I have it setup like this:

VM1-XP Pro
IP: 172.16.1.99
SM: 255.255.0.0
DG: 172.16.1.254
|
VM2 - Server 2003
NIC #1 IP 172.16.1.254 (Private network)
SM: 255.255.0.0
DG: none
NIC #2 IP 192.168.1.22 (Public Network)
SM: 255.255.255.0
DG: 192.168.1.1
|
Linksys Router
192.168.1.1
|
Internet

On all of the interfaces, Windows Firewall is turned off. The vm is set to
Local Only on the 2 private network interfaces.
What I ultimately want to do here is some testing with RRAS on the 2003. I
will add another vm 2003 server. But I can't do any testing until I can
ping on the private network.

TIA

IP subnet. Check that the NICs are actually both in Local Only and check the
subnet masks.

You should not need to disable the firewalls. All you need to do is
enable ICMP echo.

it had something to do with RRAS. After disabling RRAS I could ping the
server. I re-configured it and I could still ping with no problem. So I
don't know exactly what it was.
