I was unable to ping or even scan the Windows VM from the Kali VM. I noticed both the Linux VM and the windows VM were on different /24 networks so I falsely made the assumption that it was a simple configuration error. However, I was able to ping the Linux VM from the windows, which suggest the packets were routing between both subnets. I confirmed my suspicion by disabling the firewall in the Windows VM and I was able to scan it from the Linux VM.
