Don't know about the other VM software, but I have several VM guests
under VirtualBox.  Each of them has their networking set up as "bridged
adapter".  Although they could use DHCP then, I've used each virtual
guest's network software to set them up with static address configs.

No problems reaching other lan hosts in either direction nor in
reaching the internet.
