Can ping anything from guest but cannot ping guest from host (and from network)

[GrigoryPtashko]

Hello.

I am doing everything in my local network with addresses 192.168.1.XXX (netmask 255.255.255.0, gw 192.168.1.1, dns 192.168.1.1). I've just installed the latest PVE 1.6 with 2.6.32 kernel support. The bridged networking is in its default configuration:

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
	address 192.168.1.111
	netmask 255.255.255.0
	gateway 192.168.1.1
	bridge_ports eth0
	bridge_stp off
	bridge_fd 0

I've also installed Win XP as a guest and chose bridged networking (vmbr0). I set up the IP, the gw and the dns of the guest OS to 192.168.1.112, etc.

The problem is: I can ping anything FROM the guest OS, but I cannot ping this guest neither from the host nor from any machine on my network. BTW: this kind of configuration (bridged networking) worked for me when I was on VirtualBox.

What can be wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
is the firewall active at the guests? Normaly this prevents a successfull ping.

Yes, the firewall was the issue as usual. Thank you.
