We are running VM Server on a Windows 2003 Server machine with one network card. There are 2 VM's running Windows 2003 Server. From other external machines I can access the VM host machine and both guest VM's. Both guest VM's can access network resources OK, including VM host. However, the VM host cannot ping either guest VM, and the guest VM's cannot ping each other. The ipconfig information is as follows:
host -- ipconfig /all
