Other than pinging, what troubleshooting have you done? Logs on client and server (particularly any messages relating to DNS)? With such scant details it's difficult to guess. I'd suggest that you Google your problem (you'll find a host of articles and forum posts about this), go through the basic troubleshooting procedures, and then come back with more information about what you have tried and what results you get.
AD use the DNS to find domain controller so make sure your full domain hostname can ping directly.
vmware network setting "bridge mode" or "NAT mode" and open ports
