Ubuntu host can't ping guest virtual box Windows 10

I have the following components:

  • Host: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS.
  • Guest: Virtual Box with Windows 10.

In Virtual box, I already selected "Bridged Adapter" for this Windows VM, I also changed static IP of this VM so that it could match to my host Ubuntu.

But I still can't ping from my Ubuntu host to Windows VM. However, Windows VM can ping Ubuntu host, and I have a shared folder between them, it works.

What else can I do so my host Ubuntu can ping my Windows VM? Thanks

it's turned out, there was a firewall on my guest machine. After I deactivated it, I can ping to my guest VM. Everything works as expected
