Downloading
Direct Download links are available:

Installation
In VMWare, you'll probably need to add the keyboard value in the VM config due to duplicate keystrokes. Check out the CentOS advise, same applies
Network Config
If you installed the basic package, most likely the NIC is not configured for DHCP. try:
User ~ $ system-config-network
Once DHCP is configured, the next step is to restart the NIC.
User ~ $ ifdown eth0 User ~ $ ifup eth0 Determining IP information for eth0... done. User ~ $ifconfig eth0
connect on boot
By default the network interface comes turned off on boot.
~$ sudo cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 HWADDR=00:0c:29:4f:09:c8 TYPE=Ethernet UUID=5eed1f7e-74da-4841-b03b-3d4cc0812ade ONBOOT=no NM_CONTROLLED=yes BOOTPROTO=dhcp USERCTL=no PEERDNS=yes IPV6INIT=no
Change it so it automatically starts and connects on boot
ONBOOT=yes
