Welcome to the forums.

If you want to access the console of th evirtual guest you can use the ESX Web access or download the VI client from your ESX server webpage. Is that what you're asking for as "connecting to the guest" is somewhat unspecific...

By the way, you asked in the wrong forum, this is about VMware Workstation. Maybe the sysop will move the thread....

Also if you have enabled remote access you can useRDP as well -

Basicly you can access the VMs like any other remote computer (rdp, vnc, ssh, etc.)

For example, you can use the Remote Desktop Client that comes with windows xp to connect to the virtual XP machines.
