Getting different IP Address on Windows XP and Linux running on VMWare

Before asking question i must say that i am a Newbie in networking and  hence need help from you guys here. Am having a Windows XP computer at  my home. Recently i installed Linux on VMWare to get some experience of  this OS as well. Everything working great. But am confused with one  thing. I noticed that am getting different IP Address on my XP and  LINUX. How is that so?

Are you running linux VM on VMware Workstation? If yes what is the network adapter settings

What is the IP address of your XP and Linux VM?

I had a similar scenario, resolved with using something callled VPN. There are a few VPN services but all have draw backs with being free.

I have found htis one which works perfectly, your ip will show the computer is connected in a different country like Germany.

I'm pretty sure this is for only windows, just google free linux vpn and have a look. The draw back withthis one is that you only are aloud 1gb traffic. Its all secure and virus free, so dont worry.
