Hi Meraj and pkr_kancha,

Kudos to you ! I am able to ping the vms from each other by inputting the each others ip and host name in each other's host file. However, I am still not able to ping the vms by hostname yet from my local pc. I edited the host file of local pc by inputting the ip address and hostname.
while pinging by hostname, I get the error like 'Ping request could not find host vm(hostname). Please check the name and try again.'

ps. the network adapter setting for the vm in vmwareworkstation is set as NAT, not sure if this has anything to do with the ping from the local pc.  The other options are bridged, host only and custom in place of NAT

Where should I be looking further?
