I've got a CentOS host with a CentOS guest (both 6.5). On my guest I've installed and setup Samba, and given it a fixed ip of 192.168.1.2
(my host is 192.168.1.1
/ my router is 192.168.1.254
). From a separate Windows machine, I can ping 192.168.1.2
successfully, but when I try to ping 198.168.1.1
I get
Reply from 192.168.1.74: Destination host unreachable
what's confusing me is 192.168.1.74
is the ip of the Windows computer. When I try to access \\192.168.1.2
I get 'Windows cannot access \192.168.1.2'
From my host, I can't ping the router, the guest, or the Windows machine; the error is always:
From 192.168.1.253 icmp_seq=2 Destination host unreachable
192.168.1.253
is the ip I gave to the Host-only network (after following these instructions).

route -n
). Your guest has two network adapters, which one is the one of the host-only network? It wouldn't be surprising that your Windows client can't reach a share on the IP address of the host-only network (as that is only connected to the host). You might want to leave Samba out of your troubleshooting for now as that might have completely different issues. Also make sure ICMP PING responses are generally allowed on the machines in question.
