If i have a bunch of windows desktops running vmwareserver or player, this presents a problem sometimes.

I'd like to login to the Windows Guest VM, then from there find out the IP/hostname/etc...of the windows host that is running vmplayer or vmware server.

Hello,

This is not possible. This would be considered an 'escape of the VM' so is not allowed.
