I'm running VMWare player 16 on a Windows 10 machine. I have a VM running Ubuntu and using a bridged connection on WiFi adapter. I can ping the Ubuntu guest from other PCs in the network but I cannot ping it from the Windows 10 host machine.
In the past I got a problem like this and I didn't find a suitable answer in the internet or VMWare support. At the end the problem was related to a filter that was enabled on the WiFi adapter. The filter was named "LiveQoS NDIS 6 Filter Driver", after disabling it in the network adapter properties of the windows host, the ping to the guest started to work again.

I want to isolate the hyperv vm machine network from my local machine. I do not want hyper vm machine to see what other machines are in the same network when I do IP scanning from VM.
After creating the VM, you connect it to a virtual switch. That virtual switch is assigned to a NIC. That NIC connects to the internet and not your local LAN.
You can connect it to the internet via a dedicated connection or any number of other mechanisms. You're simply creating a second, independent network.
If you want the VM to use your LAN and a common internet connection, you'll have to resort to using a firewall.
I am using OSX Mavericks and VMWare Fusion v6.0.2.
I am running two Virtual machines, one Windows 7 Pro, and the other Debian Sid.
I do not wish to use NAT networking through the Host, I prefer to have the VMs sitting directly on the network, but I am having a problem getting the bridged networking functionality of VMWare Fusion working correctly. I have set the VMWare Network preferences page to Bridge the VMs to the Mac internal WiFi adapter.
Both VMs can ping the router, and they both get valid DHCP assigned IP addresses for the LAN. They can both connect to the Internet over the network bridge and browse and download files.
My problem is when I wish to communicate between the VM->Host, Host->VM, or VM->VM over other ports. For example if I try to SSH from OSX Host to the Debian VM, the request times out. The Windows 7 VM has a SQL Server running on it, but I cannot connect to it from the OSX host, or from the Debian VM. The Debian VM has a xsp4 web-server running on port 8080, but neither the OSX host nor the Debian VM can access it.
I can ping from Host->VM, VM->Host, and VM->VM with no issue, they can all see each other on the network, and the OSX host is sharing network folders to the Windows 7 VM without a hitch. It seems like it is allowing some communication, such as DHCP requests, Ping requests, Windows Network Shares, and Web Browsing, but is not allowing anything else.
I have turned off the Windows Firewall, OSX Mavericks firewall is turned off, and the Debian VM doesn't have selinux or iptables firewalls installed.
I have found several similar question threads while researching this problem, but a lot of them are for much older versions of VMWare Fusion, or are for VMWare Workstation which has different network preferences.
I can get these scenarios working to a degree if I switch VMWare's network settings to use NAT instead of bridging, but that messes up the IP addresses of the VMs, I want to keep them on the same network.
For what its worth, I did eventually come up with an answer for this.
There are two different versions of VMWare Fusion 6.x, Standard and Professional.
I was using the Standard version.
I changed the licence for a Professional licence, which allows you to add new network configurations in VMWare Preferences (and other cool things like that).
I added a new network with the default options, then assigned all of my VMs to that new network interface. I also turned on Promiscious mode in settings, but that might not have changed anything.
I then rebooted the VMs, set them up correctly to work on their new IP addresses, and Lo and Behold, I was able to establish connections between VM->Host and VM->VM. Exactly what I wanted.
I realize that this post is several years old, but since I had such a hard time with an issue similar to this, I wanted to post my answer as well, though I am not positive it really solved my issue. No problems still.
My setup:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)
OS X El Capitan
My problem:
In order to allow me to clone my private school git repository using ssh keys, I have to run a bridged network connection for my Windows 10 Eduction VM using VMWare Fusion.
What I've Tried:

And several other blog posts and forum replies, all attempting to do somewhat the same thing.
Answer:
After numerous attempts to reset just about everything you could, I took a step back and brainstormed. Then I thought, if my host machine (Macbook Pro) could connect wirelessly to the internet, this bridged connection should still work. I checked the Network Adapter's MAC Assigned to the VM's Network Adaptor and it was different from my host computer's wifi address (MAC Address). I then entered my host machine's wifi network address (MAC Address) in as the effective MAC Address for the Windows VM Network Adaptor and..voila, internet.
I am using the Linux driver g_ether to communicate Ethernet over USB for an embedded Linux device. The package dnsmasq is running on the embedded device and is configured to provide DHCP service to whatever PC is connected to the board via USB.
This works just fine and I can ping the Linux board from Windows ( 7 and XP ) cmd.exe. I can also ping Windows 7 after configuring the firewall as administrator:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="ICMP Allow incoming V4 echo request" protocol=icmpv4:8,any dir=in action=allow
The difference between Windows 7 and Windows XP is that when I connect the USB Cable under XP I still have my regular Local Area Connection and Internet available and active. Under Windows 7, when I connect the USB device, I lose the Local Area Connection and Internet but gain the Ethernet over USB connection with the Linux Board. As soon as I unplug the USB cable from Win 7 I regain my Local Area Connection and Internet.
What gives? I'd like to keep my Local Area Connection and Internet active while also being able to interact with my Ethernet over USB connection at the same time. I'm not sure if this is a firewall issue or something else. This is definitely a Windows 7 nuance that I'd like to understand and hopefully resolve.
The resolution to this problem was to turn off dnsmasq service as a router. There should be no dhcp-option=3 in the dnsmasq configuration file. With that service turned off, it is possible to maintain the Ethernet over USB connection and Local Area Network ( with internet ) at the same time. The USB -> Ethernet, also works without the LAN connection as expected.
Additionally, you could leave the router behavior in the dnsmasq config file but then set the connection priority to make the LAN 1 and USB RNDIS Connection 9999. Right click on the adapter and choose Advanced options for the IPV4 behavior of that adapter.
I've attempted to search the forums for any insight on whether this is possible or not with no luck. I have a Windows 7 Host Machine running an Ubuntu 10.04 Virtual Machine with VMware Player. When I am not connected to the VPN my Ubuntu VM can access the internet using NAT bridging by bridging the VMware Network Adapter 8 connector to the Wireless Adapter in the Windows Network Connections dialog. If I connect to my company's VPN on the Windows host using Cisco AnyConnect VPN without changing any other settings, the VM can access the internet but cannot reach any intranet machines.
Is it possible to share this single host VPN connection with the Ubuntu VM?
If so, how can I configure the VMware Player or bridged connections to achieve this?
Thanks in advance for any help!
You have to open new Network Adapter.
For do that ;
1. Right Click on Your Virtual Machine
2. Under the table of "Hardware" tab click on "Add..." button
3. Choose "Network Adapter" and press "Finish" button
4. Choose your new Network Adapter.It will be add with new numb under your last network adapter.
5. From right side of the page , choose 'Bridged" in "Network connection" tab
6. Check "Replicate physical network connection state"
7. Click on ok
8. Run your vpn on your main OS and then run your Virtual Machine
9. Enjoy :)
We have a draytek router and use the Windows VPN client on the host. Its possible this may be dependent on the type of VPN and possibly how its configured IE security etc but certainly for this type of simple setup, the following works for me.
You should be able to share a VPN on the Host with the Guest by using NAT instead of Bridged mode:
The steps I use are as follows:
Connect to the vpn from the host and verify it's accessible
View the settings for the VM
Select 'Network Adapter' from the Hardware list
Under 'Network Connection' Select the option 'NAT: Used to share the host’s IP address'
Once the VM has started or applied the settings, the VPN should now be accessible from the guest.
It turns out this is not possible. You can't share the VPN connection between host and vm.
How can I connect wireless network adapter to VMWare workstation ?(My Host OS is Windows 7 Ultimate, my Guest OS is Fedora 13 & my VMWare version is 6.5.0)
I'm running Windows 7 on my Dell Vostro A860 laptop & my wireless network adapter is Atheros.
Workstation doesn't have a wireless NIC type, so direct wireless hardware access is out. If you just want to access through the extant host wireless connection, bridging is your answer.
I think the only way to get a wireless NIC dedicated to the VM would be using a USB wireless NIC as a USB-passthrough device on the VM. When you have Workstation running and a USB device plugged in, it should give you an option to change whether that device is connected to the host or to the VM.
Add a local loop network in your normal PC (search google how to)
Click start -> type "ncpa.cpl" hit enter to open network connections.
While pressing Ctrl key, select both your wireless and recently created local loop network. right click on it and create the bridge.
Now in virtual network editor in vmware, select the network with type "Bridged" and change Bridged to option to the recently created bridge.
You will then have access to network via wifi card.
Use a Linux Live cd/usb and boot an that to be able to directly connect to your wifi hardware or use linux as the main OS with direct access to the wifi card and then use windows as a guest os, I know that this maybe not the ideal way but it will work.
I also encountered a similar problem. I run Ubuntu 11.04 on VMware on a Windows 7 host OS. Virtual machines can't expose the physical wireless cards. All of that is using a virtualization layer.
Since there is only one WiFi hardware on the computer its not possible to connect one WiFi hardware to multiple WiFi networks, if you want to that I think you have to map WiFi hardware to guest OS and how host you'll have to use some other hardware (may be Ethernet) but I'm sure that it will work in that way as no VM software allow us to allocate Hardware to Guest except for USB, you can also get USB WiFI and allocate that to VM only.
Change your network adapter to a bridged connection, this will directly connect to your computers physical network.
Here is a simple way to connect with your WIFI -
Click on Edit from the menu section
Virtual Network Editor
Change Settings
Add Network
Select a network name
Select Bridged option in VMnet Information -> Bridge to : Automatic
Apply
That's it. You might be asked password to connect. Add it and you would be able to connect to the network.
