Host OS:

IP 192.168.1.11

Guest OS inside vmware:

IP 192.168.1.12

Both hosts ping each other fine.

When I unplug the network cable, hosts don't ping eachother anymore, but doing ping 192.168.1.11 on the host OS still works fine.

Difference for ifconfig eth0 of the hardware NIC (host OS)

network cable plugged
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST

network cable unplugged
UP BROADCAST MULTICAST

Any way to fix this issue?
