You are likely not going to be able to get this to work using NAT with
VMware.  The server doesn't have any way to get to the guest.  You will
need to either set up the guest with a bridged connection (so it can get
na IP the server _can_ find) or search for a way to get the VMware host
to direct traffic to the NATed address (yuck).
