Vmware is running on Desktop!

ifconfig on Desktop:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:90:CC:08:6D:9A
          inet addr:192.168.1.83  Bcast:192.168.1.255 
Mask:255.255.255.0
vmnet1    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:56:01:00:00
          inet addr:192.168.1.11  Bcast:192.168.1.255 
Mask:255.255.255.0

exactly.

I tried some of the iptable rules ASZ suggested earlier.

[root@example.com boti]# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination

ACCEPT     icmp --  192.168.1.0/24       anywhere
ACCEPT     tcp  --  192.168.1.0/24       anywhere

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
ACCEPT     all  --  192.168.1.0/24       anywhere
ACCEPT     all  --  anywhere             192.168.1.0/24

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
ACCEPT     icmp --  anywhere             192.168.1.0/24
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             192.168.1.0/24
ACCEPT     icmp --  anywhere             192.168.1.0/24

arp -a on Desktop:
? (192.168.1.254) at 00:00:F4:74:B1:7E [ether] on eth0    (This is the
gateway of
the ISP)
Laptop (192.168.1.10) at 08:00:46:05:63:69 [ether] on eth0
Shouldn't vmware show up here ?

arp on Laptop:
Address                  HWtype  HWaddress           Flags Mask
Iface192.168.1.11             ether   00:50:56:85:00:01   C      eth0
(This is
vmware)
Desktop                 ether   00:90:CC:08:6D:9A   C   eth0

When I ping Laptop from Vmware, packets travel like this, if i'm not
mistaken:
vmnet1@example.com>eth0@example.com>eth0@example.com
Pinging Desktop from Vmware is just the first part of this, and I still
don't have
a clue why it's not getting there.

I have mandrake running on vmware also besides winsuxx95, i will try
that next.
BTW, what ethernet driver in the kernel supports vmware ?
