Vagrant public network not reachable? - vagrant

Question

I'm trying to using vagrant for a distributed project on my Home Network. This is the Vagrantfile that I'm using on each host (3 machines in total):
# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# # vi: set ft=ruby :
# Specify minimum Vagrant version and Vagrant API version
Vagrant.require_version ">= 1.6.0"
VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"
# Require YAML module
require 'yaml'
# Read YAML file with box details
servers = YAML.load_file('RaftFS/servers.yaml')
# Create boxes
Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
# Create servers
# Iterate through entries in YAML file
servers.each do |key,value|
#the line below will be different on each machine
if key == "hal9000"
config.vm.define key do |srv|
srv.vm.box = value['box']
#srv.vm.network "private_network", ip: value['ip']
srv.vm.network :public_network, ip:value['ip']
srv.vm.hostname=key
srv.vm.synced_folder ".", "/vagrant" , disabled:true
srv.vm.synced_folder "ServersFS/"+key+"/", "/vagrant/ServersFS" , create: true
srv.vm.synced_folder "./RaftFS", "/vagrant/RaftFS"
srv.vm.provision :shell do |shell|
shell.path = "provision.sh"
shell.args = "'TRUE'"
end
srv.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb|
vb.name = key
vb.memory = value['ram']
end
end
end
end
end
And this is the servers.yaml:
jarvis:
box: hashicorp/precise32
ram: 512
ip: 192.168.1.200
ftpPort: 8080
diskSpace: 500
skynet:
box: hashicorp/precise32
ram: 512
ip: 192.168.1.201
ftpPort: 8081
diskSpace: 500
hal9000:
box: hashicorp/precise32
ram: 512
ip: 192.168.1.202
ftpPort: 8083
diskSpace: 500
Now, if I ssh each machine and run ifconfig the IP is set correctly. The problem is that if I try contact it in any way it semms to be unreachable, even from the same host machine! In other words, trying to ping the IP address from the shell of the host machine, no response comes from the guest machine.

It looks like you're only setting the hal9000 VM to use a public (or bridged) network (or in fact do any configuration) so the other guests are just using the default host only network which should mean that they only have connection to the host machine and not to each other.
If you take out the:
if key == "hal9000"
line then it should configure things properly.
However, unless you genuinely want the machines to be web facing these VMs should all be in a private network which should work by uncommenting the private networking line you already have there.
