Can you connect to any other service on the host machine from the VM? Can you see the database port as open from the VM using telnet or a port scanner? Which virtual network adapter are you using, vlance or vmxnet? Can you connect to services on other VMs or physical servers from the affected VMs? What does your vmware.log file have to say?
