Hi, welcome to the communities.

How did you set your network adapters on the VMs? NAT/Bridged?

Post your IP configuration please.

for windows xp network is bridged ...

gave manual ip of 192.168.1.3

for my host windows 7 ip of 192.168.1.1  for  physical network..

vmnet 1  and vmnet8 showing ip of same range 

bridged

Have you tried pinging from Windows 7 host to XP guest?

Windows 7 sometimes comes with a default setting that will drop ICMP (ping) packets and won't answer pings.
