VMware 8? You mean VMware Workstation 8? How does that make the VM a production server?
I think this is fourth time I am writing this. If you searched, you would find my posts on similar issue. While configuring network type for the VM on Workstation, select Host-Only, if you want to access the VM from the host itself. It's NAT by default, which does not allow you to communicate from the host. There's another connection type, Bridged: it makes the VM available for the outside world.
For more info, press F1 while on VMware Workstation and browse to

vmblock
VMBLOCK(9) Open VM Tools VMBLOCK(9)
NAME
vmblock - vmware kernel module
SYNOPSIS
modprobe vmblock
DESCRIPTION
This is a kernel filesystem module. Ideally, it should be loaded before any of the Tools userlevel components are allowed to start, though
vmblock itself has no dependencies. When loaded, vmblock will establish itself in /proc/fs/vmblock and create two nodes therein, dev and
mountPoint. Before mounting a vmblock filesystem, ensure that /tmp/VMwareDnD exists as a directory with permissions 1777, otherwise host to
guest drag n' drop operations won't work.
To mount, issue:
mount -t vmblock none /proc/fs/vmblock/mountPoint
Once mounted, vmware-user(1) can begin to make use of vmblock to assist with DnD operations. Note that while vmware-user(1) is running,
it'll keep an open file descriptor on /proc/fs/vmblock/dev, and thus all vmware-user(1) instances must be killed to unmount and unload
vmblock.
OPTIONS
vmblock has no options.
