Issue: Unable to ping into VMWare instances on Windows 10 from Linux boxes on private network
Setup : VMWare Workstation Pro on Windows 10 with two Hadoop sandboxes running (Linux OS) concurrently ; 2 Linux CentOS boxes on private network - so all in all 3 machines networked via router.
Note : Windows 10 has McAffee running but all below tests were done with Firewall OFF and ON.
Networking: I am able to ping/ssh from all boxes to all other boxes (Windows to both Linux, Windows to VMWare, Linux to Linux, and VMWare to both Linux) except Linux to VMWare. I can ping/ssh just fine into the 2 Linux boxes from the VMWare sandboxes (and from one sandbox to the other if VM Network Settings are set to NAT).
I tried VM Network Adapter settings with 'Bridged' and 'NAT' but I have no success to ping/ssh from the Linux boxes into the VMWare sandboxes. Again Windows Firewall is controlled by McAffee and I turned that OFF while trying this out.
Any help or links to documentation for this case is appreciated (and I am not a networking guru...)
Thank you very much!
