VMware actually creates a true virtual machine to run Windows in. Your
system will function as two computers. If you want to do IP networking, the
VM gets its own IP address, and the VMware "network card" has its own MAC
address. And, if you want the two to share files, you need networking, just
like if you have two separate, physical machines. So you need to setup a
Samba server on the Linux machine, which talks to the SMB client on the
Windows (virtual) machine.
