One other thing, I can ping from the VM to the PC. The networking in the VM is set to NAT.

Jamie, I can not ping the VM. It times out. I can see it in Network Neighborhood. I turned off both firewalls to see if it was being blocked. What do I do next?

If so, it'll block remote access. Try pinging the remote machine, and if that works telnet to port 1433 - you should get gibberish back, but that'll confirm that the connection works. If the two machines are not a member of the same domain, you'll also have to use SQL authentication - you won't be able to use Windows authentication as that expects both machines to be in the same domain. This is something you can change through the server properties dialog (right click on the server node in SQL Management studio, properties, Security tab, change the server authentication type).
