| | ping fysical mashine to/from VM I have a VM with Win XP Pro ("VM") running on a fysical Win XP Pro mashine ("host"). The host can ping the VM without any problem. But, the VM can ping the host only when the host's firewall is turned off. I have used both the Windows Firewall and the Northon 360 Firewall but the problem is the same. I have tried to find some setting in the host firewall that could prevent the VM to reach it, but have found nothing that solves the problem. Anyone who has any suggestion on this? Thanks, Inge Larsson |

That blocks ping to the computer. To enable the ping, follow these steps: 1. Open Windows Firewall by going to Control Panel or the properties of the connection. 2. Select Advanced 3. Click Setting in the ICMP. 4. Check the Allow incoming echo request -- Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ |
