VMWare access between different VMs [closed]

I have installed VMWare workstation 9.0.2 build-1031769 on my Windows 7 Laptop.
Then I have created 2 Windows 2003 VMs.

I have 2 Network connections under my network adapter settings.
They are VMNet1 and VMNet2

Virtual Server 1 details as folows.
Network Type: Custom (VMNet1) – Host Only
IP address: 192.168.229.128
Sub net: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.229.1

Virtual Server 2 details as folows.

Answer

At any point during copying and pasting the above details between your system and here did it occur to you to wonder if “Host Only” appearing in the Network Type might mean anything?

You’ve set both VMs up to only be able to communicate with the host system. To network them you need to set them both up to be connected to the same network. You can set up a bridged connection, connecting them both to the same network as the host machine, which will allow them to communicate with each other, the host, and any other machines on your network, or you can create a custom network just for the two guests.

This should explain a few concepts.
