Hi, If I understand you correctly you are trying to remote desktop into the XP VM? If so then you'll also have to make sure that both XP and the Mac are configured to allow connections on the right ports. In addition check the network config on the VM, I think the default is NAT and you probably want bridged networking for this unless you want the joy of address and/or port mapping on both ends of the connection.
If possible also try setting things up while everything is on the same network segment before introducing the router, fix one variable at a time.
