I've had Oracle's Linux working on VMWare with a WinXP host.
With a bridging Network the IP address of the Linux Server must be a
valid IP address on the network that the host is on, i.e. don't use
the same IP as the host. The VM will then appear on the network as if
it were a stand alone machine. In fact when you install the guest OS
you should just imagine you are installing it on a new machine, forget
that it's running on VMWare.
Also don't change anything in the VMware Network Adapters, I don't
know how it works but it seems to me that VMWare manages them, you
don't need to do anything with them.
I've installed various versions of Linux (Oracle, Red Hat, Ubuntu) ,
Win2k, WinXP and the networking (DHCP and Static IP) all worked out of
the box without problems.
