I am having trouble installing asterisk in a vmware workstation. My host is WindowsXP. The OS (CENTOS) is installed but the asterisk rpms are not installed.
Does it ring a bell? Has anyone completed successfully this task?

I don't get errors. Only CentOS is installed. I don't know why the rest of the installation is not completed. I reached a screen that prompts me for username and password

It sounds to me like that is the login prompt for CentOS. CentOS is another operating system entirely, and so you need to log in to it. You should have been asked for a "root" password. Use username "root" and then enter your password when prompted. From there, you should be able to follow the instructions at asterisk.org/downloads/yum and you'll have a "bare" Asterisk install.

why you bother so much for asterisk rpm file, and centos , grab an vicidial ISO file or go auto dial file which is precompiled with CENTOS.
find a better source for the asterisk,

Try using Speed Bit or Orbit downloader ...

Your question suggests that you haven't tried installing asterisk from sources. It's just a matter of configure, make and make install. You can also get a complete frontend (FreePBX) by following their tutorial at http://www.freepbx.org/support/documentation/installation/install-process-for-centos-5-1
