Unable to use( ping or ssh ) the vm instances ... even after multiple attempts of clean openstack Installation

************ Query *********************

I have been trying to setup proof of concept installation of OpenStack with no luck so far.
My installation is based on the openstack official guides. Its little confusing to chose
the installation method. I have tried both scripted and manual installation so far with
ttylinux image up and running but unable to ping or ssh it.

Today I have done a clean manual installation of Cactus release and again facing the
same issue.

I had a sucess with Openstack installation in VirtualBox as instructed in this link http://uksysadmin.wordpress.com/2011/02/17/running-openstack-under-virtualbox-a-complete-guide/

I am looking for a single server ( all services on same server ) setup with multiple projects
and users with OpenDashboard to work in sync to demonstrate OpenStack at my working place to be able to scale it with multiple nodes in future

Please guide me if i am missing anything in the setup

Also suggest me the best ways of configuring setup for POC

********** Installation Architecture **********

All In One - Currently all the services are running on a single hardware server.
using the following document

http://docs.openstack.org/cactus/openstack-compute/admin/content/

Used FlatDHCPManager
