no, it should work fine. Given how VMWare does the networking, you'll
probably need to use an exception in your ISA firewall if you're running
Premium Edition to allow the Linux host to see the Internet, but creating a
firewall policy for it is pretty straightforward.

Hi All,
I am just wondering if anyone has tried this configuration and / or
anticipates that it would cause any problems.
In order to test and explore the virtualisation option whilst
remaining 'legal' in terms of licences, I am thinking that we might
set up a PC with Linux as the host OS (Linspire or Kubuntu are
currently favourites), install VMWare on there, and then run WinXP Pro
SP2 as the guest OS.
In order to avoid any problems, I was intending on *not* giving the
Linux OS any rights on our domain (it would be on the LAN of course,
but not a domain member). The WinXP Pro SP2 machine would be joined
to the domain.
Will that work? Will it cause any problems that you anticipate with
the host OS not being on the domain?
Thanks,
Alan.
