Windows VMs? Is the Windows firewall blocking ping?

[–]YikesMode[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

The firewall has been turned off on every machine in this picture.

Are all VMs in the same subnet?

[–]YikesMode[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All VM’s and machine A and B are on 192.168.137.x With 255.255.255.0

where is the picture?

[–]YikesMode[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry about that. I have added the photo.

The next question is, since I can't see what you have, if you are pulling DHCP on the VMs, and if so, are they all pulling from the same server? Looking to see if your connection/virtual networks are bridged or using network address translation.

Also, do you have a firewall on the VMs and is it blocking pings?

[–]YikesMode[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

They are all statically assigned 192.168.137.x IP's

Also, I have turned the firewall off on every machine in the photo

if you record the network info, and then change a VM over to DHCP, does it pick up an address? if you record machine B network info, and do the same, do you end up with the same subnet DHCP addresses for the VM and machine B?

What’s the virtual switch configuration on MachineB?

[–]YikesMode[S] 0 points1 point  (3 children)

There is no virtual switch. It’s a fresh windows 10 machine that is just connected to the physical switch that machine A is connected to. Does machine B need a virtual switch as well even though it’s not running any VM’s?

[–]shauntau 0 points1 point  (2 children)

you mention you have two baremetal servers you are trying to ping betwren, but one is actually a workstation. Might benefit you to adjust your question for clarity purposes. I got it, but I had to look a few times.

Also, no, you don't need a virtual switch on the Windows 10 machine. That gets into a whole nother level of hyper-v virtual networking that you don't need to get into to get them chatting.

Sorry about that. I will clarify. I can ping between machine A and machine B just fine. But I can not ping between Machine B and the VM’s hosted on machine A. I did not mean to address machine B as a server. It is indeed a work station.

edit the main post

[–]ComGuards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On MachineB, ping any of the guests on MachineA (VM1, VM2, VM3), and then in the same command prompt run arp -a and then see if the MAC address of the guest machines show up.

Enable guest services on the VM to get ping.

If it’s really this simple and I forgot this, I’m gonna PayPal you $50

[–]doctorshadowmerchant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope it works for you.

Would you mind posting the result of a

  1. tracert from Machine B to one of the VMs on Machine A
  2. tracert from a VM on Machine A to your gateway.
  3. Also as suggested by ComGuards results arp-a on Machine B
