What is your Host OS?

What is your VMware Workstation version?

What is the Guest OS in the VMs?

What type of networking is configured for the VMs?

[rajasekaranVM]

Host Os -- Windows 7 Enterprise, 64-bit 6.1.7601, Service Pack 1

Vmware workstation version --  VMware® Workstation 12 Pro

Guest OS in the VMs  ---  Oracle Linux 6

Networking is configured for the VMs?  ---

VM1

Network adapter -- host only

VM2

Network adapter -- host only

Welcome to the Community,

are you able to ping the VM on it's 192.168.2.x IP address?

does the guest OS allow SSH connections, i.e. no firewall rules within the guest OS blocking SSH?

No i am unable to ping form host ...

if i ping i am getting request timeout.

Regards,

Raja

Please check the network settings.

On the host OS (WIndows), run ipconfig /all and post the settings for "VMnet1", which is the Hot-Only's virtual network adater.

For the guest, post the network adapter's configuration (should be: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0), and the ifconfig output.

In addition to this, please attach the VM's configuration (.vmx) file to a reply post.

From the configuration you posted, the VM has two virtual network adapters, Host-Only and NAT.

The NAT adapter on "eth0" has the IP address 192.168.244.128, which - assuming default settings - is a DHCP address from the VMnet8 (NAT) subnet.

However, the Host-Only adapter on "eth1" has a static IP address 192.168.10.1, which is not in the Host-Only subnet (192.168.2.9/24). I'd suggest you either set "eth1" to DHCP, or assign a valid IP address (e.g. 192.168.2.3 ... 127) to it.
