Solved Pinging to and from three machines

---

I have a Windows 10 computer, a Raspberry Pi 3, and a vulnerable Windows 10 VM. The Raspberry Pi has Kali Linux loaded onto it and will be the attack machine. The VM needs to be able to ping to the Kali device and vise versa. The Windows 10 desktop needs to be able to access everything as well. All devices share the 192.168.1.0/24 network.

Currently, from the Windows 10 VM, I can ping everything.

From the Pi, I can only ping the default gateway.

What is the best way to network all three machines together so I have full connectivity on each device?

Thanks!

Hey @Bedrock1977 ,
Great question - Here is something I would test, check your Advanced Sharing Settings

Then look for File and Printer Sharing

The *File and Printer Sharing directly affects the Allow/Deny Rules in the Windows Firewall with Advanced Security see here:

Turning this setting on or off reflects whether or not *ping/ICMP Echo Requests" are allowed or denied. Where you can ping outbound from the Windows 10 machine BUT cannot receive ICMP echo replies back , this is my first guess. I could be wrong, maybe some of the other Edutainers might have an idea.

Which virtualization platform are you using? If you are using Hyper-V you can just setup a shared network for the VM, the host and the physical adapter which would suite your needs. If you are using VirtualBox it is a little harder as you may need to setup a virtual bridge in your host OS to connect the VM to the physical adapter and still have the host involved.

That being said, your network may already be setup properly. The fact that your Windows 10 host can ping everything makes me suspect you are setup correctly, but that the Windows firewall maybe blocking communications between your devices. I would suggest temporarily disabling the Windows firewall and seeing if everything communicates properly. If it does, turn the firewall back on and add rules allowing traffic between the three IPs you are using.

Thanks for watching,

I am using the latest version of Virtual Box. I will try these options this weekend and report back with my finding. Thank you, gentlemen, for your responses!

I enabled File and Print Sharing as Wes had suggested, and things seem to work out just fine. I can now ping equally in all directions. Thanks for the help guys! If I run into further trouble, I'll post back here for help.
