Note that in the vmware guest configuration, you do NOT want to select bridging. You must use "host only" mode. Don't worry, it will be bridged. So long as your Ethernet card supports promiscuous transmission and reception, you should end up with your guest seeing the exact same network as your host, so you can ifconfig it just as if it really were plugged into the same network.
