I have installed windows 7 on VM in my Windows 8 pc. I am not able to ping my windows 7 machine (VM) from my Host (Windows 8). I am using NAT network adapter. I tried using Bridged but it crashes my host (win 8).

I am able to ping from win 7 to win 8.

How can i make these two machines in same network and ping my win 7(vm) from host (win 8).

Please help

Your problem probably comes from your firewall: Try to disable it on Windows 7 guest and you should be able to let it appear on host machine.
