Welcome to the Community,

there could be several reasons for this.

What kind of network setting do you use for the VM? Bridged or NAT?

Do you have a Firewall enabled on either the guest or the host?

You were right! I went to settings and changed NAT to Bridged and it worked! I didn’t check the ‘replicate physical network connection state’ option cause I don’t know what is this for.I’ll read about it cause I’m completely new to this VM thing.I suppose there are plenty of guides for new users like me.Well pal, thanks a bunch you’ve just stopped me from shooting my pc! Thanks!
