problem with network setup between linux and windows in vmware.
 
Hi,

I am new to this forum and also to Linux. I was trying to setup network between linux and windows on Vmware. I have windows 7 installed on my hard drive. And i have installed centos on my vmware.
I have the internet connection with the following details. Ip is "10.21.53.254".
i have setup the NAT as the network in the virtual machine for CentOS. So when i run the command ->'ifconfig' in CentOS it is showing me the ip address "192.168.159.139" and the gateway is "192.168.159.2".
So when i try to ping the windows 7 ip address from virtual machine centOS i am able to ping and i am getting the respose.
But when i ping from windows 7 command prompt by typing the command -> "ping 192.168.159.139" it is giving me the error message request timeout.
Please help me to set it up. And let me know what exactly am doing wrong.

Thank

i'm not quite sure if this is the reason,
ping is based on icmp protocol,and if the destination computer in your case centO.S block the icmp packets,then you wont be able to use ping.

You should also take a look at the routingtable of you windows computer. Open the dosshell and type
Code:
route print

As per the suggestion provided, I checked the command "route print" and I got the following output:

For networking between guest and host OS, once check: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/...-efc025010a07/

Referring to your Windows Routing table Windows does not know about the IP-adress of your Centos VM.
