Virtual Machine and local net

Question

I have Windows 7 on my PC. VMware Workstation was installed on it. I run Windows Server 2008 on virtual machine. My PC is connected to local network. I can ping all computers in local network from virtual machine and my PC. BUT nobody is able to connect to virtual machine. Please, help me to set up the access to my virtual machine from local network

• ensure the firewall of your VM allows incoming traffic on the port(s) you need
