I am on Mac (Lion), using GNU/Emacs version 24.1. I have created a VM, and assigned it a static IP.
I want to open/edit files using emacs. AFAI figured out, above version 23, the tramp-mode comes pre-installed. So i tried the following C-x C-f /ssh:username@192.168.1.23:/path_to_file.rb but what it does is creates a file with name ssh:…rb.

How do i resolve this?

    Emacs 24 comes enabled with tramp-mode. In case you have put anything in your ~/.emacs.d directory or some init.el files to customize tramp mode, please remove them.

    All you need to do is C-x C-f ~//username@ip_address.
    You will be asked for a password, provide it and enjoy!
