WS9.0.2 : RHEL6.3 guest cannot access winXP host license server

Hi Everyone

I am currently using vmware workstation 9.0.2-build 1031769 and is facing the following problem:

- Guest : RHEL6.3
- Host : WinXP SP3
- Machine : Lenovo T410
- Uses NAT vmware networking mode

My rhel guest is unable to access the license server on my winXP. The setup is as follows:
- Run flexLM lmgrd on winXP. License server started successfully
- Run "traceroute" in rhel to get IP address
- Add the IP in /etc/hosts

I am able to execute the following successfully:
- ping localhost
- ping myWinXP_IP
- Get license from external license server
- ssh/telnet to other machines


But using "lmstat -a -c 5280@myWinXP_IP" results in the following:

Error getting status: Cannot connect to license server system. (-15,570:115 "Operation now in progress")

May I have some suggestions on how to resolve the problem?
- Using "bridge" mode does not solve the problem

Thanks
