Make sure your VM has an ethernet card in it's hardware configuration. Select "bridged" mode for that card's network connection type.

Once you have the virtual network adapter configured for Bridged networting and assuming that you are in a environment that allows you to use the virtual machine in a Bridged configuration. You will just need to configure the guest OS to use DHCP or assign a static IP for the same subnet as the host.
