I have been searching through all the other requests for something similar but it seems I have a slightly Unique question.
I have a DB running on my Host and the Client running on my Guest. Both Windows 7. VM Workstation 9.0.1 build-894247
I will need the ability to have this communication work while the Host does not have network connectivity so Primary LAN will be disabled.
Right now I can communicate with from Guest to Host via the Host Primary LAN IP, the Guest can also connect to the internet with no issues. However I am not able to ping/communicate with my Host VMNet8 IP.
I have the VM configured as NAT currently as that's how my other systems are configured, but I can change this to host-only if needed, it just hasn't helped with my tests yet.
HOST:

So currently
GOOD: 192.168.174.128 -> 10.x.16.155
BAD: 192.168.174.128 -> 192.168.174.1
Is this a crazy request? Any Ideas?
