If you are unable to ping between virtual machines in VMware Workstation, here are a few additional troubleshooting steps you can try:

  1. Check VMware network settings: Ensure that the network adapter settings in VMware Workstation are properly configured. Go to the virtual machine settings, select the Network Adapter, and verify that it is set to the correct network type (NAT or Bridged).

  2. Verify network connectivity within the virtual machine: Check if the virtual machine has network connectivity within itself. Open a command prompt or terminal within the virtual machine and try pinging its own IP address (192.168.198.128). If the ping is successful, it indicates that the network adapter within the virtual machine is functioning correctly.

  3. Disable Windows Firewall or any other firewall software: Temporarily disable the firewall on both the host machine and the virtual machine to check if it is blocking the ping requests.

  4. Check IP configuration within the virtual machine: Verify that the IP settings within the virtual machine are correct. Open a command prompt or terminal within the virtual machine and use the "ipconfig" or "ifconfig" command to check if the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway are properly configured.

  5. Verify VMware network settings: In VMware Workstation, go to Edit > Virtual Network Editor. Check if the NAT or Bridged network is properly configured and that there are no conflicts or errors. If needed, you can try deleting and recreating the virtual network adapter.

  6. Restart the virtual machine and host machine: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues. Try restarting both the virtual machine and the host machine.

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, it might be helpful to provide more details about your network setup, the operating system running on the virtual machine, and any specific error messages you encounter.
