Hi Bo,
Thanks. I did following things after that i can communicate host, VM1 and
VM2, working fine.
IP Settings:
host : 192.168.5.1
VM1 : 192.168.5.2
VM2 : 192.168.5.3
For VM1 and VM2 machines Network Settings modified to "Microsoft Loopback
Adapter" and firewall is disabled for VM1 and VM2 machines. Both VM machines
Ethernet Adapter enabled in Network Settings.
Thanks again
Deva
