Can't open front end in browser

I have a Windows 7 machine. Installed VM Ware Workstation along with the vmdk file following the instructions on HA and web. Installation was successful and the Linux virtual machine loads and gives me the Home Assistant Supervisor complete with the 192.xxxxxx url. However when I put this into either a Firefox or Chrome browser, it gives me an “unable to connect” error message. I have tried the url with and without the /8123. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated
