In your VMware window, before booting XP, click VM -> Settings. In the Virtual Machine Settings window, under the hardware tab click Ethernet. Are you using Bridged or Nat. I'm assuming you're using Bridged. Switch to NAT and it should work. If you want wireless to work on Linux as the guest OS, you'd have to click Custom and then that would work too. Cheers!
