   Assuming that the Windows boxes get their IP addresses from a central   
   router or other DHCP server, can the VM see the same server?   
   Don't know about VMWare, but in Virtual Box one can set up a "bridged"   
   adapter to access the same network as the Windows host, and hence   
   connection.
