Ok. I didn't know about wireshark.  I believe that I do have it in NAT
mode. 
I am using Ubuntu as the host with XP and the guest. 

Also, somewhat unrelated minor issue. Network Manager would not connect
to my router using WEP128, but I switched to manual and it connected
fine (with the same key). Actually, manual is better so my wife does
not have to do anything except turn it on, log in, and click on the
VMWare icon.
