Craig, You mentioned that you can open a remote desktop connection from a virtualized computer to a real computer (or even the one running the virtualization).
This, as Quentin mentioned, requires an interface. In this case it is provided by the virtual network card made available to the virtual OS. When the virtual OS writes network traffic to this virtual interface, it is read by the host computer, and from there on can be interpreted and processed. It is only because the host computer is monitoring the state of this virtual network card and forwarding its traffic that the virtual OS is able to send any network traffic outside it.
