It is hard to second guess John's setup - so a few ideas to look into: Perhaps the guest VM is behind host VM NAT - that would require either changing the host VM network to Bridge type or setup port forwarding to NAT VM guest (kind of like you would do on your home router if you want to access the network internally)
If my assessment is correct, I'd think that the Bridge network setup is easier to do - unless you would like to keep the guest isolated from your home network.
