Talking out from the guest is not problem and sharing folders from the
host (debian) to the guest (winXP) using the vmware supplied samba is
also no problem. I am having problem pinging the guest from the host
(ping debian to winxp) or sharing folders or any other net related
activity for some reason (should work since connection should work both
directions, but ...)

That is less annoying though then USB peripherals failing to be
recognized in the guest for some reason.
