VM unable to ping/connect to host

Hi ,

I have a Hyper-V on Windows 8. I created 2 VM and 3 Virtual Switch on External, Internal and Private. I am unable to ping the VM to Host on Internal and vice versa. Below are the sample IP structure. Is there something wrong with my configuration? I tried changing the IP of the VM to the same range but failed as well.

Host:

IP:172.20.x.x/24

VM:

10.0.0.X/24

hi

do you enable ping request using firewall ?

in internal switch ip should be in same structure but you use 172.20.x.x and 10.0.0.x

please use same ip address structure for example 

for host 10.10.10.1

and for vm 10.10.10.2

Hi YahyaZahedi,

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried tht as well but it doesn't work. I changed the VM IP Address structure to be the same as the host and failed to Ping with each other. How do you enable ping request using firewall? Do u mind to guide me with tht please.

Thank You.

Hi

Allow Pings (ICMP Echo Request) Through Your Windows Vista Firewall

Allow PING as you have been told (ping reply off by default since Server 2008).

Also, you may have a basic network routing issue, if you have multi homed your machines.

If your machines have multiple NICs you get into this situation because your machines have multiple gateways.  And the reply happens on the wrong.

If a server can see another machine on multiple subnets at the same time, you are misconfigured and you absolutely will have networking issues.

Beyond that, there really isn't enough detail in your answers so far to be highly helpful.

Please go to Device Manager, delete your network adapter on host. Then restart the computer to check the result.
