Correction. Should have been /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
You might look at the URL listed below, I ran into the same issue and this fixed the link issue. I didn't try running dhclient manually, so I'm not sure if this solution is exactly the same as what you are experiencing.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=100527
Basically add the following to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
check_link_down () {
return 1;
}

Sounds like a VMware issue...not a RedHat Linux issue.
You don't mention what version of VMware you are running. But, in any
event, you will probably get more value by asking on the
vmware.for-windowsnt.configuration news group.
