Hello,
Not really....
FOr a Hosted Environment.... If you can access the console of the Host, you can still access the console of the VM regardless of the network status outside the console. VMware Workstation, Fusion, and Server all fit into this category.
For ESXi/ESX... you need an outside host to access the console of the VM. ESX and ESXi do not display graphics or VMs from their consoles/management appliances. So you need an external machine that can either run the vSphere Client or access the VM via RDP, SSH, or VNC depending on Guest OS involved.
