@Ariel

Can you ping from the guest to other systems (default gateway) on the local network which will accept pings?

Did you install VMware tools on the RHEL5 guest?

Which kernel are you running?  uname -sr

Installing RHEL5 with virtualization installs a Xen kernel which I have seen cause problems.  I think it throws the peth0 bridge interface in the configuration as well.  You can try re-installing RHEL5 with no virtualization and no IPV6 then install VMware tools.
