There are several related solutions available on the internet, but it all depends on the configuration of the machine and the firewall rules.

For me below solution is worked:

• Disabled the VMware Network Adapter VMNet8
• Removed the network from the VM
• Enabled the VMware Network Adapter VMNet8
• Re-added the Network to VM, and set it to NAT
• Restarted the machine
