VMWare
iPodFoo:
Might be an idea to check the vmware processes are running ok while youre running it. Press ctrl+shft+esc to show the processes. There should be:
vmnat.exe
vmnetdhcp.exe
vmount2.exe
vmplayer.exe
vmware-authd.exe
vmware-vmx.exe
One (or more) of them allows communication between vmware and xp, Im not sure which, could be the vmware-authd.exe.
Anyway, when vmware is not running at all, theres 3 processes that should still be running, they should be started up by windows when you boot windows up, I think theyre, vmware, vmnat and vmware-authd. If theyre not running, run the services.msc and check all related vmware services are set to automatic.
Might not work, but it did for me.

I have had this issue before.
Make sure that both VMnet1 and VMnet8 both show up and are active in Network Connections. Also make sure that in VMware, the Ethernet button at the top is active.
Typically, I just reboot the virtual machine to get it working again. Player > Troubleshoot > Reset

Thanks for your help, I''ll try them tonight when I get home...
Not sure about the rebooting one, however, as it has never worked and I've run the .vmx setup twice from scratch and rebooted both the virtual machine and Windows in between...
I'll see how it goes.

I would not recommend using hard reset without shutting down the system because it can corrupt the file system.
Instead run "shutdown -h now" as root and then Player > Troubleshoot > Reset. If you just want to reboot the Linux run "shutdown -r now" or press Ctrl-Alt-Insert.

I have also had trouble with VMWare player and samba, it seems to be related to sleeping the virtual machine. Reboot cures it.
But now I know I'll try shutdown ...
