ping problem

[Joseph Christie]

I might be missing something obvious but I'll be darned if I can figure it
out.

I have two computers set up with eval 4.5 workstation on Win XP. Set up one
XP guest on one computer and one NW6.5 guest on the other with one XP guest
also. VMWare was installed with bridged networking.
My IP set up is
XPHost1 - 192.168.2.200
XPHost2 - 192.168.2.201
NWGuest - 192.168.2.1
WinXPGuest1 - 192.168.2.101
WinXPGuest2 - 192.168.2.102
Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 on all
Gateway 192.168.2.1 on all

Both hosts can ping each other and each host can ping it's own guests and
the 2 guests on the same host can ping each other but the none of the
guests on different hosts can ping each other.

The firewall is disabled on all XP systems.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

sorry - should have posted this to the xp forum. I suspect that this is a
vmware rather than a windows thing since the nw65 guest acts identically,
