Re: Problem with CentOS 4.7
You centos IP, netmask and gateway look fine. I usually pick higher numbers when setting a static IP though as you don't want to accidentally use an IP that another machine uses.
As you have a router make sure your vmware networking is set to "bridged". Also check that the windows firewall is off, the centos firewall is off and i would probably disable selinux too on centos.

Re: Problem with CentOS 4.7
Not sure then. Several people have strange problems like this and i have no idea why. I have been using vmware for years and i have never had these problems. I doubt i will ever work it out unless it happens to me too.
I have noticed it only ever happens to people with routers. Routers act as a DHCP server for networks and the only theory i have is that somehow interferes with the the virtual machine using the vmware DHCP server as it should. I always specify static IP addresses for my virtual machines which could be why i have never seen it.
