nmap

I'm running Metasploit from Win 7 x64, and I've set up my Metasploitable 2 virtual machine on VMware Player. I can ping Metasploitable's IP address from the Metasploit console, however if I use nmap it says:

Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probles, try -Pn

I try it with the -Pn switch, it says

Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 0.64 seconds

I've disabled my Windows firewall and I'm running Metasploit as admin. Why can't I nmap my virtual machine?
