What you might need to configure is your router to open ports so outside extensions can login to the system.
Also it would be best to have a router using qos as otherwise when your freepbx is on the same internet connection and you start downloading some stuff, voice could be delayed.
You don't really need the VM ware, only if you want to run it under windows. Just install the linux image.

I don't have a problem forwarding ports, and my router has quite good QOS control. I have fooled around with Linux before, but unfortunately I can't dedicate a computer to it, or even run the computer on a Linux partition. I have a few Windows services running on that machine that I can't really afford to shut down or move. Would the VMWare + FreePBX gobble up all its resources?
