As I previously said, "one can access a Virtual Machine just like one can two separate Physical Machine on the same Subnet" so if the Virtual Machine's Network is set to Bridged then it can be accessed directly however keep in mind that the same that applies to a Physical Machine apply to a Virtual Machine. Meaning make sure Firewalls are not blocking connectivity, Shared Resources are defined and associated Services are running and that the User can be authenticated as necessary.
This applies when using NAT with Port Forwarding as well although the vmnet8 nat.conf file has to be manually edited and should be done with the Virtual Machine shutdown, not suspended and VMware Fusion closed.
