I am using VMware workstation 15.5. My host is Windows 10 and guest is Ubuntu 18.04.
Using virtual network editor I created a NAT network adapter as shown in image
With NAT settings(guest ip is 192.168.180.129)
From my host, I can browse my guest with https://127.0.0.1:9988 without any problem.
VMnet8 network connection details are as in following image
I can ping 192.168.180.1 and 192.168.180.2 from guest. Using arp command, after running ping commands, I get following MAC addresses:
My question is: From host I can ping VMnet8 network adapter ip 192.168.180.1 but I can't ping gateway ip 192.168.180.2. Trying ping to gateway ip results with request timed out. Why from host I cannot ping this gateway ip address?
