Access vmware workstation from outside of host machine

vmware-workstationwindows 7

i have a vmware workstation guest machine running on my windows 7 box. i'd like to be able to access the guest machine from other machines on the physical network. a single port is enough. is there a way to do this?

edit: the current config does have it as "bridged", and i can go out to the internet from the guest machine, but can't access the guest machine from any machine besides the host.

Just configure the VM's adapter type as "Bridged" and it'll get an IP address on the same network as the host (running VMware Workstation). Nothing tricky to it and very common.
