Strange response when pinging VM<>Unraid host

[jagz707]

So I've set up a linux VM on Unraid and bridged the interface with br0 so I get a real IP address from the DHCP server. 

The Unraid server IP is static 192.168.66.15 and the VM IP is static 192.168.66.16.

 

Both hosts have entries in my DNS server.

 

When I ping either host from my Windows PC, they respond correctly for their respective IP addresses.

 

However, when I ping the VM from the Unraid host, it responds from its own IP address (.15) instead of .16.

When I try it the other way around, pinging from the VM to the Unraid host, the same thing happens.

 

Any ideas?

Silly error.. although the addresses were static, the DHCP server hadn’t excluded the range of the static addresses and I think that was causing an issue. Turned off DHCP and seems to be good now…
