    x.x.x.132

    x.x.x.133

    x.x.x.134

    x.x.x.135

    1) x.x.x.131 is an ip adress of my vmware Esxi Server

    2) I created 1 VM and Installed CentOS 5.3, While Installing I have given ip adress as x.x.x.132 and required Default Gateway ..etc.

    I tried connecting through Putty to x.x.x.132. But not connecting.

    what might be the problem? Please assist me

    did you disable firewall on the linux vm.

    user the following command to disable firewall in linux vm

    1. service iptables stop

    You can permanently stop the service

    1. chkconfig --level 35 iptables off

    Do the following check list.

    • Self ping your IP address

    • ping the gateway IP ( if it doesn't ping, correct the gateway IP address

    • check firewall status ( disable firewall )
