I would like to remotely connect to a linux (Fedora) vmware machine hosted on a Windows7 desktop machine.
My understanding is that this should work.

Yes, it should. There are actually several different approaches, each with its own pros and cons:
My favorite solution is to install VNC on both the Windows and Fedora PCs:

How about SSH with forwarded X? It's much more efficient, at least from my experience. You can even get a full shell by executing gnome-session or plasme-desktop. – Linuxios – 2012-07-03T16:34:04.427
I am going to start by trying out your second solution. It seems like exactly what I need, since I still would like to have a desktop gui. – Welf Ludwig – 2012-07-03T17:53:29.673

I've never used Vmware, but it should have (like Virtualbox has) an option to set up the network interface.
I always choose bridge and I ssh directly to my linux box. Works no problem.

It does work, but SO is not the proper venue for this question. – None – 2012-07-03T16:17:37.990
This question is not related to programming unless you mean how to programaticly connect and if so the question should be rephrased. – rerun – 2012-07-03T16:18:26.290
