Alexander,

As a second part to thatm I took the DHCP part completely out of the equation and set a static IP on both VMs and I was unable to ping between the two VMs thereby taking the outside network completely out of the picture.  In this case, the ping should have gone from one VM to the NIC bridge then back to the second VM but that didn't occur either.  I will also try Martin's suggestion with the NIC dump but there is certainly something not routing properly with the bridge.

just a guess:

If you using the nic_bridge, make sure that the MAC addresses generated
by and assigned by the nic_bridge to the VMs
(repos/os/src/server/nic_bridge/README) actually are not ignored/are
permitted by your DHCP server.

In the single VM use-case (running without the nic_bridge), the MAC
address of the network card is assigned to your VM, which is probably
permitted/white-listed by your DHCP server in your network, I guess.
