NAT is in fact exactly what you want here, I think. VMware will assign an IP from one of the unrouted ranges that are reserved for LANs for cummunication between the host and guest, but any connections from the guest to the internet will be translated to/from the host's DSL IP.
Thanks - tried it and got this popup window:
Could not open /dev/vmnet8: no such file or directory.Virtual device Ethernet0 will start disconnected.
Do I just go ahead and mknod /dev/vmnet8 or is there more to it? Better, where is a good (and hopefully simple) reference for this?
Thanks (again).

You need to set up the NAT interface when you run vmware-config.pl. You probably just told it to do bridged the first time but you can run it again to add nat and/or host-only.
