Um. I would not be surprised if you just observe the problem others have 
mentioned in the past. It is not uncommon for the host system to not be 
able to communicate with the virtual machine, as the outgoing ethernet 
packets are not been received. A switch will normally not help you, as 
both hosts are on the same ethernet cable, and switches do not reflect 
packets back on the port they come from. Routers might be more clever, 
but it's not a given. But basically, your problem have a high chance of 
being a problem of being able to communicate between two machines that 
use the same physical ethernet interface.
