Решение проблемы с Windows 10 и связью с VMware Player Linux гостем

Windows 10 is a popular operating system used by many individuals and businesses. However, it can encounter issues when trying to communicate with a VMware Player Linux guest. One such issue is the failure of the Windows 10 host to respond to IGMP from the Linux guest. This can be frustrating for users who rely on these interactions for their work or personal needs.

One of the main problems identified is that despite receiving a membership report, the Windows 10 host does not send PIM-SSM or IGMPv3 packets. This lack of response can hinder the proper functioning of the network and prevent the Linux guest from performing its intended tasks.

To resolve this issue and enable the "IGMP-in" rule, there are several solutions you can try:

1. Check Firewall Settings

A common cause for the lack of response could be the firewall settings on your Windows 10 host. Make sure that the required ports for IGMP and PIM-SSM communication are open and not blocked by the firewall. Consult your firewall documentation or network administrator for guidance on how to configure the firewall correctly.

2. Update Network Drivers

Outdated or faulty network drivers can also contribute to the failure of IGMP communication. Ensure that you have the latest drivers installed for your network adapter. Visit the manufacturer's website or use Windows Update to check for and install any available driver updates.

3. Disable Network Virtualization

Some users have reported success by disabling network virtualization features in VMware Player. Open the network adapter settings in VMware Player and uncheck any virtualization options that may be enabled. Restart the virtual machine and check if the issue persists.

4. Enable IGMP Snooping

Enabling IGMP snooping on your network switch or router can help improve communication between the Windows 10 host and the Linux guest. IGMP snooping allows the switch to listen to IGMP messages and forward multicast traffic only to interested receivers. Consult your network equipment documentation or contact your network administrator for assistance on how to enable IGMP snooping.

By following these solutions, you should be able to address the issue of a Windows 10 host failing to respond to IGMP from a VMware Player Linux guest. Ensure that you implement these suggestions correctly and seek technical assistance if needed. With proper configuration and troubleshooting, you can enhance the communication capabilities of your network and improve the overall performance of your Windows 10 host and VMware Player Linux guest.
