Is the RedHat VM using DHCP?

Have you tested to see if the machine is able to resolve?

Nslookup google.com

If it doesn't make sure you put your DNS server in /etc/resolv.conf

I'm trying to simply ping the system and no its not configures as DHCP, if they both are in the same network, they should be able to ping each other, isn't it?

Make sure that iptables is not blocking the OUTPUT icmp packets from linux.

Can you try again by stopping iptables service on linux by executing the following command?

service iptables stop
