I installed VMWARE on my windows 8.1 box and created 2 Linux VMs (centos 7)
I setup the VM to use BRIDGED NETWORK.
I went into windows 8 and added 2 rules to allow inbound and outbound connections for ICMPv4 and ICMPv6
on CentOS side I did iptables --flush
Now I am in following situation
1. the 2 VMs are able to ping one another.
2. the VMs are able to ping the GATEWAY.
3. the VM cannot ping the HOST.
4. the HOST cannot ping the VM.
Sorry for asking this age old question.... but all my google searches pointed me to firewalls block the communication between HOST and GUEST.
Can you please tell me how to get this to work?
