Hello Augusto,

It will depend on the configuration of the VMWare software.  If it is in Bridged Mode 
and you are scanning the IP associated with the Win2K installation, you will find the 
vulnerabilities that are associated with that Win2K installation as well as some 
vulnerabilities that would be associated with the underlining Linux host.  If VMWare 
is configured in Host-Only Networking, you should not find any vulnerabilities 
associated with the Win2K installation.  I am not sure of what you would find if 
VMWare is configured in NAT mode, perhaps someone has tried.

Cheers,

Lynn Lowrie
