Accessing host machine IIS from a guest OS in VMWare

Depends on your network configuration of vmware product you are using (player, server, workstation). If it is set for a bridged mode, then you can do it as any other machine - by host machine's IP. If it is a "host only" or NAT mode - check what is the gateway IP for the guest (/sbin/route), and try using it:

# /sbin/route
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface

default         10.x.y.z        0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

In this case, 10.x.y.z is the ip of the host machine.

If you have an HTTP proxy on your network, your guest OS and apps in the guest will have to be setup to use it just like you did with host applications and the host OS.
