Not pingable with Intel E1000

[Bestbeast]

Hello guys,

I am currently trying to setup a simple bridge between 2 VMs with windows.
I created the following bridge:


And then assigned network card to the VM with that bridge on the hardware. I have been trying to ping between my VMs with the model intel E1000, and it has been no possible, but once I changed to virtio it seems to work.
Do you have any clue on why is this happening?

I have other VMs accessing the internet with intel E1000, but using it just to connect 2 VMs, seems not to be working.

Kind regards

You need to enter the E1000 NIC into the Bridge port field.

You mean the physical port, right?

In this case, as I just want virtual switch communication between 2 VMs, I guess I will need to use the virtio card, as if there is no physical port, it won't work, as it is happenning now, right?

Kind regards

For virtual bridge only, then your config is ok.

Check with tcpdump -i vmbr1 if there is any traffic on the bridge.

lol, really weird, now it is working :/

Don't know why intel E1000 was not working at the beginning and now is.
