Solution

By default Windows Server 2008 is set to not respond to ping replies. To enable it;

Go to Window Firewall with Advance Settings from Administrator Tools menu.

Look inside Inbound Rules, scroll down to File and Printer Sharing, right click and enable the one with Echo Request - ICMPv4-in rule.

Make sure the icon is green.

Ping your server.

post code in question as well as error log

[Jens]

Do not post code as link to an Image. post a minimal reproducible example as text

[Malakai]

Please provide code sample(without external links) and stacktrace that you've got.

[MadProgrammer]

You've overridden get/setEnabled which are methods of the JFrame which affect the state of the user interaction, so basically, you've disabled the frame. Suggestion, use a model to manage the state, don't extend directly from JFrame (you actually have two different instances running around), use a JPanel as the base component and add it what ever window you need when you need to

Hai beano, I try it and still, my laptop cannot ping my vm

[chrisma andhika]

There is another odd thing. The IP segment of my office building is 10.10.20.xxx. My laptop gets the right IP, but my VM gets IP 192.168.23.xxx.

[sgtbeano]

Ah, you have a NAT'd address on your VM, try changing the network type on the VM to bridged.

[sgtbeano]

Hey, no problem - glad it works
