It might be a VM specific configuration issue. VirtualBox, for instance, runs in a NAT setup by default for any VM. You must change the configuration to something like bridged.
It is already set to bridged. Will look into VMware then if there isn't a built-in firewall or anything like it.
What has me puzzled is that I have not changed the VMware config for the VM and it worked until the crash.
