Someone more familiar with the Windows TCP/IP stack will give you the
best answer. I'm not sure how many people reading this group have
much used VMWare.

But, in a broad brush statement, since VMWare bridges to the physical
NIC, it's obviously bypassing your firewall, likely as its operating
at a lower layer than your hooking is occuring.

A Windows programming forum is probably a better forum to find a good
answer. You might also want to try some other commercial software
firewalls and see whether any of them intercept vmware traffic. I can
tell you that Symantec's seems to be aware of interfaces VMWare binds
to the stack.
