I'm trying to run a virtualized network of 6 Windows server 2008 operating systems running on VMWARE. I have all 6 installed but I'm unable to network all of them and receive connectivity throughour the 6 guest operating ssystems on the VMWARE.My host OS is a Windows Server 2008 operating system.
I have all the operating systems running IP addresses from the same subnet as the host OS,the idea was to have full connectivity throughout all OS but that isn't happening and I keep getting destination host unreachable,I managed to have one of the guest OS ping another guest OS but the receiving OS could not ping back,looking at packet statistics though I can see packets moving in and out of the adapter.
What I'm I doing wrong?

Where are all the PROS here nw

I responded on your other thread.
Simply turn on Network discovery on all guest OSes.
Ensure that file sharing is turned on too.

In the vm settings I had to put all network adapter @ host only mode,then place the Host and Guest OS on the same subnet turned on network discovery and file sharing as you posited and it worked.
