The vmware version of sage does work for most users using exactly the same steps that you're doing above, so you're not doing anything wrong. It's just "not working" because of some Windows firewall of VMware networking issue. Your best bet is to use http://sagenb.org or wait for the windows port of Sage (http://windows.sagemath.org).
