I'm new to VMware and trying to figure out how to make a network connection between two VMs so I can access all the drives in each of the VMs from each of the VMs using full CMD commands like eg:
ping each other's IP sucessfully, manipulate files on each other's drives, detecting each other's port, etc.

Help! thanks up front!

Are you using VMware Player? If so, there are two types of network configuration available for your purposes:

Bridged networking - A virtual machine is connected to a network by using the network adapter on the host system.
NAT networking - A virtual machine does not have its own IP address on the external network. Instead, a separate private network is set up on the host system and a virtual machine gets an IP address on this private network from the virtual DHCP server.

I would recommend using bridged networking. Just select Bridged as the network type in your network adapter configuration. See here:

Add a virtual network adapter

Of course, you will need to configure your guest operating systems installed inside virtual machines to use IP addresses from the same subnet.
