IE not detecting proxy server hosted on a VM

Question

Hi guys,

I was writing a proxy server in C#.NET. My Proxy server has been hosted on a VM (say vm1). Now when I access internet through IE in vm1 the request goes through the proxy server as expected. But if I use another VM say vm2 to access internet through IE the 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage' is displayed. I checked the proxy settings for IE. It looks correct. The request is not reaching the vm1 at all I think. Otherwise, the proxy server would have logged who requested.

Need help guys.

This is my 'route print' output. This is on a VM.

And, this is my ipconfig output

Windows IP Configuration

        Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1

My proxy server is hosted in a machine with IP 192.168.0.102.

Help would be greatly appreciated.
