Communication between hyper-v host and guest

this is my question:

why i can ping from host to guest but not viceversa, the guest can ping all other equiments on the lan,even the virtual switch address, except the hv host.

no firewall active
no antivirus blocking

cheers

If you can ping from host to guest, you have two-way communication.

If the ping reply is not showing up on the guest when you ping the host, something is blocking it. Either the host is not answering or the guest is not accepting the reply.

Based on the information you’ve provided, I’m going to take a wild guess and say you have your networks misaligned (wrong ranges or masks).

i will unistall the antivirus, to see if it has something to do with it, but i checked the configuration and dont see anything blocking the subnet or port.

thanks for your reply.

Currently I am tasked with setting up a Hyper-V network in Windows Server 2012. I can build the machines, add external DNS and do updates and surf the web etc. but when I try to ping one…
