Hello Everyone.
Thanks to all reading my query and taking out your precious time to comment.
So, I have the below setup and trying to setup a home lab using Vmware Workstation.
Lab_Topology
What do I have?
1) Windows 10 Home basic - Host OS
2) 16 GB total RAM, assigned 6 GB to Gaia R80.20
3) Tried the same setup on Vmware Workstation 14 & 15.5 version..
4) Two routers R1 & R2 with vyatta image.
After doing installation, defining routers gateway & fw interface etc. I'm unable to ping R1 & R2 from the Firewall.
I've spent more than 6 hours on this.
I faced the same issue a week back , then I uninstalled vmware workstation 15 and installed 14 version, made some registry tweeks to make it compatible with windows 10. Then I just change the CD/IDE settings to Aconnection preference to "use physical device". And it worked all good.
This morning I again faced this issue. FW_ping checkdriving me nuts. I'm several times tried to do delete all vmnets, created new, installed gaia also a couple of times.
Don't know what is going wrong.
Last year, I created the same lab on my Windows 7 PC and never faced such silly issues.
Please have a look and let me know what you guys think the issue would be.

It has also happened that at one instance FW was able to ping R2 and not R1 but after I changed the vmnet settings, then again back to ground zero.
PS : Gateway on R1 is eth1 i.e. 136.1.121.12
Gateway on R2 is eth2 i.e. 136.1.122.12
