NAT, ping and firewall with Vista RTM

Hi
This is driving me nuts. I cannot get ping to wotk from my vmware machine
running NAT to the host machine(Vista). If I use bridged, it works.
Furthermore when I try to ping a large packet -l 2000 it will not go through
to any computer from the vmware OS. I need this cause without large ping, the
domain client(running inside the vmware) will not work. So the question is:
How do I enable full trust from my NAT network on my Vista machine so Vista
will let large ping through the network connection?

I tried firewall off/on
tried to enable icmp with a firewall rule
tried enabling ALL Sharing and discovery in network center

please give me tips here...

C:\>ping 192.168.0.9 -l 1472

Pinging 192.168.0.9 with 1472 bytes of data:

Reply from 192.168.0.9: bytes=1472 time=4ms TTL=128
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
C:\>ping 192.168.0.9 -l 1473

Pinging 192.168.0.9 with 1473 bytes of data:

Request timed out.
Request timed out.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

so the limit is 1472!!!

HELP, please

Lasse

To clarify:
No blocks are showed in the fireall log.
It works on a xp machine on the same LAN.
I have not installed any other fireall applications
I have tried to deisable the firewall.


help.....

Does anybody know how to shutdown the firewall COMPLETEY???
Not just "disable", cause there is something else blocking here.
