Help networking 2 guest VM's

Hi,

I'm trying to network 2 VM's both running on my local Mac with Parallels version 13. One is windows 10, then other Window 7. I have an application on the Win10 VM that needs to push data to an app on the Win7 VM via a URL.

I've tried a variety of networking combinations but so far no luck, the apps cannot see each other and ping just times out. Currently both are set to host only networks, I've tried bridged and shared network as well with no joy

Any help appreciated,

 

Hi @MarkR13 , If you have an anti-virus and firewall enabled on both the virtual machines please disable them and check the issue. Also make sure that the two virtual machines are set to bridged network.

 

Thanks, firewalls were the issue, turned them off on both VM's and worked a treat.

Mark.
