Have a look at the DHCP Server configuration, you can find this on your Windows host under:Start -> All Programs -> VMWare -> VMWare Server -> Manage Virtual NetworksMight be worth reviewing the network mode, whether it is using Nat etc. I don't have it installed at the moment so sorry if this isn't as clear as I'd hope!
