An easier question (based on how VMWare is packaged) is did you run the
vmware-config.pl script that comes with the RPM? It will shutdown any
running services, and compile the necessary kernel modules for your
running kernel (if you haven't made them already, and, no, just
installing the RPM does not do this), and then start them up again.
After that (if it was successful), you should be able to connect to the
server.
Good Luck!
