Destination host unreachable: pinging one Ubuntu VM from another Ubuntu VM

I am working on my home wireless network, trying to ping one Ubuntu (16.04) VM from another Ubuntu (16.04) VM on a Windows machine.

VM1 - Ubuntu1604-Node2 - IP address is 192.168.56.5

interface file looks as below:

auto loiface lo inet loopbackauto enp0s3iface enp0s3 inet staticaddress 192.168.56.5netmask 255.255.0.0network 192.168.0.0broadcast 192.168.255.255gateway 192.168.56.1

VM2 - Ubuntu-Node3 - IP address is 192.168.56.102

interface file looks as below:

auto loiface lo inet loopbackauto enp0s3iface enp0s3 inet staticaddress 192.168.56.102netmask 255.255.0.0network 192.168.0.0broadcast 192.168.255.255gateway 192.168.56.1

On Pinging one from another VM, I keep getting "Destination host not reachable". Any help is appreciated.
