In the VM configuration, what network type are you selecting? NAT or Host Interface?
If you are using Host Interface, host firewall rules must allow IP forwarding. If you want to connect from some other external host, with the guest OS, then you will need to do port-forwarding on the host that is hosting your guest. Without good knowledge of networking, you will have a hard time with connect to your guest from/to other machines.
