...to the outside world. And as far as I can tell, this even appears to be normal.
To be concrete, no other machines on my network can ping it.
It can ping everything on the network, and I can ping it from the host machine. The host is running Windows Vista and the virtual machine is running Ubuntu.
I found this link which seems to indicate that this is what happens by default, and indicates a solution.
But this is part of VMware Workstation documentation, and I only have the free VMware Player. I don't appear to have any of the configuration possibilities it discusses.
So my questions:
1) Are all virtual machines really invisible to the outside world if you don't buy VMware Workstation?
2) If not, what can I do so that other machines on my network can see the virtual machine?

and in any case the link I gave seems to indicate that this is what happens if you don't manually configure it, even with Workstation.
