Correct, it is a limitation of the vmware player not the FSL vmware "appliance".

That should work.

That seems like a painful way to make things happen, unless of course
you happen to enjoy beating your head against brick walls. You would
need 2 vmware player instances with a local bridged or NAT network set
up in such a way that they can all see each other. You would then
have to add NFS and the likes to your vmware player machines and get a
bunch of other things to work.
I would suspect that by the time you have purchased more RAM, bought
Vmware workstation, fiddled, etc you would have been better off to
just buy a "real" linux/ubuntu machine in the first place. Either
that or at this stage given that you seem to be using (and liking) the
ubuntu virtual machine I would take the next step towards nirvana and
have a hack with wubi:
http://wubi-installer.org/
Wubi is essentially a point and click windows thingo that will install
ubuntu (for real) for you on your machine.
