The golden question here is, how is the Virtual Machine configured to use the Host NIC? Is it a Bridged connection, so that it is pretty much a direct connection to the network (which also broadcasts a virtual MAC address) or is this a NAT configuration with the Host?
If you don't know this answer, tell us what VM Software you are running.

Here's the scenario. I have FiOS internet and the Actiontec modem/router. The Operating System of this specific computer is Windows 7 Ultimate. I have a Virtual Machine running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise. I need to set up a static IP address within the Virtual Machine in order to set up that VM as a DHCP server. I spoke with a couple people and here are the two suggestions: - since the Virtual Machine shares the NIC of the host, set up the host computer with a static IP address and this will funnel down to the Virtual Machine - set up a second network adapter within the Virtual Machine What I would like to know is which option is better? Additionally, is there a better third option?
I added a second nic to the machine and then allocated a static ip address to the nic properties on the virtual server.
You then have the choice in a multi subnet setup of having the virtual server running on a different subnet to the host machine.

edit - These seem to be Private Static addresses, and not public ones.
