Linux Ethernet Bridging - Jun 2015 - [Bridge] Bridge created on centos6.4 running as a virtual machine over vmware does not work

Hello,

I have centos running as a virtual machine using vmware on top of Windows 7.

Created a bridge which is up and learns the end Devices mac addresses as
well.

However ping does not work.

Any ideas what can be the issue or any config guide for such a scenario?

Thanks,
Fahd.
