Hello All,
I have a lab setup. the configuration is as follows.
DC server 2016 192.18.0.1
ADC server 2016 192.168.0.2
exchange server 2016 192.168.0.3
second exchange server 2016 192.168.0.4
forest name abc.local
another forest XYZ.local
DC server 2019 10.10.10.1
ADC server 2019 10.10.10.2
Exchange server 2019 10.10.10.3
Router (workgroup) server 2019
RRAS role installed three network cards added.
ABC network card 192.168.0.8
XYZ network card 10.10.10.8
Host network card 192.168.1.7 (this IP is assigned directly from netgear router that i have)
issue is i did the conditional forwards between ABC and XYZ forest and made the IP of RRAS router machine the default gateway for all machines with their respective subnets. Example ABC card in router machine has IP of 192.168.0.8 so this becomes default
gateway for all machines in ABC forest, and IP 10.10.10.8 which is IP for second network adapter in router machine for XYZ card i made this as default gateway for machine sin XYZ forest. So ping is happening between both the forests successfully.
Now the third card which is the INTERNET card that i added to the router machine that give sit internet access. i configured with RRAS so all the machines in the respective forest should have internet access as well.
But here comes the problem as my host machine is windows 10 in which i have all this virtual environment set up. i was wondering if my host machine could ping the respective virtual machines inside. As my host machine has IP assigned 192.168.1.5 which
is assigned by NETGEAR router as well. Now point to be noted from my host machine windows 10 i am able to ping all the three IPs of router which is ABC card 192.168.0.8 as well as XYZ card 10.10.10.8 as well as external (internet) card which is 192.168.1.7.
But i cannot ping any VMs of any forest through my host machine. Also the strange point my VMs are able to ping my host machine successfully and are also able to access internet.
i have done the RRAS configuration as follows.









One windows 7 sample machine in ABC forest configuration
Successfully pinging to google.com
Sample Machine configuration in XYZ forest
Successfully pinging to google.com
Router Machine configuration all three network cards
ABC card
XYZ card
router RRAS machine also able to ping google.com successfully
Host Windows 10 machine where all my VMs are residing configuration
able to ping google.com
But not able to ping DC in ABC forest neither any machine in ABC forest
same condition for XYZ forest as well
But able to ping router machine IP address which is 192.168.1.7
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated
