Stefano, that is exactly what I was looking for - many thanks (didn't even have to restart)!!

never tested..
I prefer to use the console inside vmware client

Please pardon my intrusion here, but I have to add that a reason to have vmware-tools is to be able to order guest OSs to shutdown, when a power failure is detected by ESXi (via a ups mechanism).
@knyte: please pardon my OT: how are the network cards configured in your ESXi? vmxnet, vmxnet2? And which type did you select to install SME as? CentOS? Red Hat 5 32-bit?

Procs: Dual
Mem: 1024 MB
OS type: Other 2.6 Linux (32-bit)
NIC: Flexible
To be honest, when I created the VM, I wasn't completely sure what to pick, either...so, took a stab at it with this config, and so far there have been no problems to speak of. I'm sure CentOS 4/5/6 (32-bit) would be fine as well, but at the time I didn't know where SME was going/basically had no idea and took a guess. I'm not at all above trying something else if it's recommended/suggested.

It may disconnect your session while reconfiguring the network interfaces.

When vmware-tools installed it also installs the new network drivers (vmxnet(2,3) which helps to connect faster between VMware machines. It also speedup the disk access. In general performance with vmware-tools installed is better, so there is benefit to install them.
