Private to my Mac network does not work

I copied a Workstation 10 VM to Fusion Pro 7.

Guest OS: RHEL 5

The Workstation vmnet1 network was 172.16.19.0. I do not know how to config this for the "Private to my Mac" in Fusion Pro.

I have tried configuring the network adapter of the VM on Fusion Pro 7, to "Private to my Mac" and also adding  a second vmnet2 adapter (172.16.19.0) to my Fusion settings and configuring the VM to that adapter, but both options failed to connect from the host to the guest and viceversa.

I have stopped the iptables in the guest.

My host ifconfig:

Any idea?

Does it work if you reconfigure your vmnet2 interface to the correct address?  Your current ifconfig output has:

vmnet2: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

  ether 00:50:56:c0:00:02

  inet 192.16.19.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.16.19.255

Which is not what you want.

Did you want vmnet2 to be 172.16.19.0 or 192.16.19.0?  Your post says the former (twice), but the ifconfig output has the latter...

Ups, I’m sorry.

I want it to be 172.16.19.0. My VM (and its installed software) is configured eit 172.16.19.35.

My MAc is configured with a DHCP 192.168.1.70.
