title: Unable to ping vmware guest from another vmware guest
body: <p>I would like to ping one vmware guest from another one. Both are Windows XP and use NAT. I set IP manually for VMnet8 to 192.168.18.1. (no using Obtain IP address automatically). Also I'm not able to ping neither guest1 nor guest2 from host.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using VMWare Player 5.</p>
