I have vmworkstation 7 installed on a Windows 7 host. The guest OS is Windows Server 2008 R2; the guest is configured for bridging and I specify the NIC (and don't relay on automatic). The host and guest are not on speaking terms; cannot ping by IP or by name; cannot map drives; nothing.
When I first setup things, I was able to communicate and map drives but it no longer works. I don't know what has happened other than reboots that have occurred. Other machines on the LAN are able to communicate with both the host and the guest (including drive mapping). Both the host and the guest are able to access the internet as well.
It seems that some setting has become tweaked but I don't know how to fix it. Help!
Thanks.
