Nevermind..you guys set the memory to like 2986 MB..I lowered it to 256MB. That was WAY too high!!
Lol one more question..how do you delete the uh..VM network connection? When I try to it says "You can not delete this selected connection."
Oh crap, sorry for the triple posting..but NO ONE answered my question what the heck!? How do I delete the VM virtual network? When I try to, it won't let me!!

I had the same problem for almost a week... it drove me nuts! I'm running VMware on Win7. but I finally figured it out. I just added a second lan card to the computer (in DHCP mode to get an IP automatically). Then opened the virtual network editor (administrator mode *IMPORTANT*) then in there, I deleted all entries in the DCHP tab, set VMnet8 in the nat tab (using 192.168.222.2 as gateway ) let it do automatic bridging...
that was pretty much it. Inside the virtual machine the VMWare lan adaptor has an ip addres from the 222.* family and I manually set the other one (the one reported as an intel card) to have an IP from my lan (192.168.2.#) and now it works just perfectly.
Hope this helps you.. you can send me a PM if you have questions.
now i wish I would find a server with fewer bugs
EDIT: I forgot to mention to make sure you have the VMWare Sharing protocol as a service in your lan connection, if you done, then go into your network connection properties and add service, look for the driver in the VMWare folder (the name is shown as protocol, but it's in fact a service, if you try to add it as protocol, it won't find it)
