This system appears to have a DHCP server configured for normal use.  Beware
that you should teach it how not to interfere with VMware Server's DHCP server.
There are two ways to do this
1) Modify the file /etc/dhcpd.conf to add something like
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
# Note: No range is given, vmnet-dhcpd will deal with this subnet.

2) Start your DHCP server with an explicit list of network interfaces to deal
with (leaving out vmnet1). e.g.
dhcpd eth0
