    I cannot ping MAC from windows 10 whenever i set the network mode to bridged network - Wifi. Setting it to Shared is working perfectly.
    For more information, when parallel is set to bridged network , internet connection and pinging of other computer in the network from the windows works fine , except pinging the host MAC PC.

    Please help as i need to use bridged network so that the mac can use the DHCP from my router.

    Guys, what about the Firewall? Did you disable it on the Mac side?

    Upon further investigation, this actually looks like a known limitation:

    To workaround the issue, I switched to an ethernet cable instead of wifi.
