Guest can't be reached from the outside

Here's my situation.

I have 3 network interfaces on one NIC.

They all three have a different IP:

eth0    

eth0:1

eth0:2

eth0 and eth0:1 both are being used by IP's for some server services.

Now I installed Vmware Server on my server + a Virtual Machine in it.

upon configuring the vmware server I added a virtual network called vmnet0, who was bridged to eth0:2.

Now I edited the network adapter for the virtual machine to use vmnet0 as virtual NIC (or what it is called), so I have a bridged network link.

The problem is now that my Virtual machine doesn't seem to pick up the IP linked to eth0:2 which should be linked to vmnet0.

How can I fix this?

thanks in advance!
