I had VMWare player with Windows 7 as host and Ubuntu 14.04 as guest. From guest, i was able to ping host using ip address 192.168.228.1.
Recently upgraded VMWare player to 6.0.4 build-2249910. After upgrade, host is not reachable from guest i.e for 192.168.228.1 not reachable.
On looking at IPv4 properties of VMnet8, saw that ip address was changed to 169.254.18.152. Host became reachable from guest using ip address 169.254.18.152.
Would like to know if this is a bug.
