Q:

Can't ping CentOS7 from Win 2k12 Host

I have a service running on CentOS 7 in Oracle VM Virtual Box, but I can't ping the IP I configured in CentOS from windows.
I tried:

Disabling windows firewall 
Changing network adapter to bridged mode
Setting the static IP in centOS to the IP of the Virtual Box. Host-Only network adapter in Windows.

I can ping my windows box from the CentOS virtual machine though.  Any ideas?

A:

I set adapter to bridged. Changed the IP to one a subnet of the adapter on the host server.  Changed gateway to server gateway.  Bounced services and was able to ping.
The issue was that Cent OS was trying to connect through an unused NIC.  Can't believe I didn't see it before.
