    No pix no fix. :P Joking, although, a screenie would be very helpful (of the network settings of your VM).

    There could be any number of reasons for this, but for now just check your VM's network settings - is it bridged with your physical network? Or is it set to connect to the physical network directly? Or is it set to host-only (connect between host and itself)? Or is it set to use the host's IP (uses the host's network connection - piggybacking off of it, basically)?

    The first two options gives the VM an IP on the physical network's subnet, making it visible to everything on the network.

    The third option gives the VM an IP on a network shared only between the VM and the host (imagine a switch, and only the host and the VM are plugged into it - a virtual switch).

    The fourth option doesn't give the VM an IP (well, it does but only on the virtual side), and the network connection is passed through to it via the host. A bridge without an IP on either end.

    Hope that helps a bit. If you want to read more on it I think these links may help:
