How to troubleshoot a VMware virtual machine that cannot connect to an extranet problem

After installing the virtual machine, after installing Linux, there are sometimes problems with pinging the IP of the physical machine and any external network including the IP of the gateway. The network card of the virtual machine is the bridged state. Let me show you next, how to let the virtual machine re-ping the physical machine.

Tools/Materials

• Linux-equipped VMware Workstation 10

Ping 192.168.1.1 (note here is your own physical machine IP or other host IP on the same network segment)

It's done.

Precautions
