VMWare Player: Cannot ping Guest OS

Host OS: Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise x64
Guest OS: Windows 2003 Standard x86

I somehow couldn't ping Guest OS even though the networking setting is set to Bridged.
Took me a while to figure this out but the problem lied on Firewall.

Solution:
Go to Windows Firewall.
In the Advanced Tab, choose ICMP settings,
check "Allow incoming echo request"
Then, ping command should work!!!
