PING lost between guest and host with vmware workstation
I need to do demo for my customers so I installed VMWare workstation on my laptop which is running Windows Server 2008 x64.
The guest and host is using "Bridge" to share the network adapter. But ping between guest and host is always lossing some of the ping request. There will be no problem to use NAT for the network adaptor for the guest.
C:> ping 192.168.1.166 -t

Ping statistics for 192.168.1.166:
Packets: Sent = 1099, Received = 1081, Lost = 18 (1% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 1118ms, Average = 94ms
Does any one have the same problem and know how to solve this?
Looks like it is not totally disconnected, sometimes receive the ping request.
thanks, ezlee

4.What version of VMware Workstation are you using ?
5.Have you installed VMware Tools within the Guest VM ?
5.Have you installed VMware Tools within the Guest VM ?
ASKER
1.How many NICs do you have on the Host ?
2 NICs - one wireless and one onboard
I am using wireless for the "Bridge" - the problem happened for the wireless. I am using fixed IP assigned to the wireless NIC. There is a Wireless Access Point (linksys) as the gateway for both host and guest.
2.Are you running any other NIC Intensive Applications on the Host ?
should be no.
3.What Security software (Antivirus/Internet Security) are you using in the Host & Guest ?
SEP, but even before it is installed, the problem exists.
4.What version of VMware Workstation are you using ?
6.5
5.Have you installed VMware Tools within the Guest VM ?
Yes, it is installed.

Sorry to close this late. But it seems the wireless NIC does not support vmware bridge very well.
thanks everyone!
