I've had the same issues in the past using the Windows version of
VMware Server. Try copying the contents of the DVD to a smb (windows)
share, download the netinstall CD and start the install. On the
initial boot screen (right after all the 'Welcomes" don't forget to
press  F3 and then F4 to select from where the installation sources
are. Either SMB or FTP. The 2 faster ftp sites I've found are:
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source
ftp://suse.mirrors.tds.net/pub/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.1/inst-source
However I would recommend getting the remastered DVD and copying it to
a SMB share because this has all the patches already applied.
