Unable to ping vmware guest from another vmware guest

Question

I would like to ping one vmware guest from another one. Both are Windows XP and use NAT. I set IP manually for VMnet8 to 192.168.18.1. (no using Obtain IP address automatically)

Answer 1

1. Try installing VMware tools in guest operating system.
2. Check if firewall is enable
3. If 1 and 2 are ok, try using share internet connection

After sharing connection the VMnet8 IP address will be changed to 192.168.137.1, set up the IP 192.168.18.1 and try again
