Hello everybody!
I have two PCs. I connected them by a cross ethernet cable. I want to opt PC1 as my host, which I clarify more clearly as follows:
The PC1 has Windows Server 2019 (I tested this case study by Windows 10 as well) and also has another virtual VMWare interface which is local network for PC1 and several virtual machines on PC1. This virtual interface is of type bridge. What I need to do is giving network access from PC2 to PC1 and the virtual machines and vice versa. i.e. I need PC1 to act as a virtual router. I tried to combine these two interfaces by bridging them in "Network Connections", the result was that PC2 has access to the virtual machines and vice versa and the virtual machines and PC2 also have access to PC1 but the problem is that the host itself cannot ping anyone despite the fact that I need everybody to be able to ping each other. I also did the following configurations for the interfaces:
on bridged interface (PC1):

on PC2:

and on the virtual machines similar configurations to the PC2
as you can see all IPs are from the same subnet.
I really appreciate your help.
Regards,
Ali
