Description
Host: Windows 10 Pro Guest: eCS 2.2 beta (drivers: all the latest and greatest)
From the guest, I am trying to connect to a wireless connection on the host. For sake of simplicity and performance I have set up "bridged network".
Sometimes but not always I have problems to access the net from the guest. When that happens, I see this (example) in the ARP table of the guest:
"arp -a":
ARP table contents:
interface hardware address IP address minutes since last use lan 0 (incomplete) www.xxx.yyy.zzz 0
Apparently, the ARP request does not pass through. If I reboot the guest a couple of times AND if I actually use the wireless connection on the host, then eventually, I will be able to access the wireless connection from the guest. I have not observed this problem with a wired connection (on the host). This seems to always work ok.
