As you mentions Network adapter in VM is configured to be bridged (to get its own IP address) and when i am within the OS that is installed on the VM the IP i get back is a diffirent one then the host OS. If you are using brodge network then you have to get same subnet ip address as your host. I think you configure the vm NIC as DHCP then renew the ip address also make sure that you are getting same subnet IP address as your host.
