Thanks Bamit99, it was the obvious!

Browse All TopicsHi,
I created virtual PC using Microsoft's Virtual PC 2007and I'm able to ping from that machine (called VM01) anywhere else in the network, browse the web, etc.
However, I can't ping that machine from anywhere else in the LAN. DNS resolves to the correct address, 192.168.18.20, but there's no answer. Also, of course, if I ping the IP address, it times out.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
(see below the ipconfigs)

Have you tried the basics like Windows Firewall etc? This is the only explanation that I can possibly come up with right now. Infact, any other software which might be similar to Windows Firewall etc. You have not mentioned the OS on the Guest VM.
