In Windows Explorer on your virtual machine, can you login and successfully connect to the network locations in question? If so, then the problem is that the MapGuide Windows Service itself does not have necessary rights to that location and is most likely running under a local system account (by default) that does not have the necessary network privileges to that location. Go into Windows Services, find your MapGuide Open Source service, go to it's properties, then to the Log On tab and change the account that it runs under as one that has the correct privileges to those network locations.
If this is not your problem and you cannot connect to network locations outside of your VMWare instance under any circumstances, then you may have a problem with your VMWare network adapter.
