mona@pascal:~$ ping 144.92.237.225
PING 144.92.237.225 (144.92.237.225) 56(84) bytes of data.

  • Did you ensure that your Windows 10 machine is using a Private network profile to allow ICMP traffic? How do I force Windows 10 to see a network as private?

    In windows 10, go to Firewall then Advanced Settings. Turn off the Domain Profile, Private profile and public profile and try again. If this works, it is a firewall issue and is usually the case. Can you also list the IP of the ubuntu machine and the IP of the windows machine?

  • They are both in the same private network. Linux machine IP address is 144.92.237.238

  • Just to check, when you right-click your network icon in the Notification Area and select Open Network and Sharing Center, the windows that appears specifically says that it is a Private network?

You want to make sure that ICMP for ipv4 is enabled on the inbound rules for your Private Network Firewall profile.

  1. Open Windows Firewall
  2. Choose Advanced Settings.
  3. Inbound Rules on the left pane.
  4. Find File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In).
  5. Double click to open the properties and choose the advanced tab and make sure that private is checked.

The asnwer aceppted doesn't work for me. I can't ping from my guest centos 8 vm to my host windows 10. VirtualBox has Bridged Network configured.

Host OS: windows 10 home single language
Version: 1909

Virtualbox 6.1.10:

  • host: windows 10
  • guest: centos 8

There exist 2 entries for File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In)

enter image description here

Changing the first one to Private doesn't work.

Trurn off the firewall does work.

You can also enable firewall rules on the command-line, using netsh. It is quite cumbersome, but can be useful if you need to do it on several machines or often.

Many useful rules are already pre-configured in the firewall, but not enabled by default.

To enable ping only, you can enable the "Core Networking Diagnostics" group of rules:

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Core Networking Diagnostics" new enable=yes

To enable "File and Printer Sharing" there is a group of rules named just that, so :

netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="File and Printer Sharing" new enable=yes

To list all inbound rules into a "my_firewall_rules.txt" file in your user directory :

netsh advfirewall firewall show rule name=all dir=in > $HOME\my_firewall_rules.txt
