Change the server IP the player connects to when they press "join server"?

I believe the physical computer would be acting as a router for the VM.

I'm pretty sure you're confusing router with wifi transmitter. You still have a router if you're directly plugged into your network unless you use your phone line. If you're receiving internet at all on your VM, you should type ipconfig into the windows computer (start -> run -> cmd) and look for something like
"IPv4 Address ###.###.#.##"
On mac, I'm not exactly sure but I think it goes something like click the internet button at the top right of your screen and click preferences and it'll give you a number in there. These will likely (but not always) start with 192.168. If they are the same, you need to port forward it. If they are different, you should port forward your windows one. If you can't find the number on your mac, try port forwarding your windows internal IP.
On a seperate note, why do you even need to port forward? Most, if not all routers that are sold nowadays support UPnP and you should look around in your router options for a place to enable that before you port forward. If you are positive you don't have a router and you don't use your phone line to connect, I suggest you find a new internet provider.

No router?
How do you connect to the internet then?
If you have more than 1 computer on your home network, then you have to have something that works like a router.

Ok, here is how the internet works.
Average Joe's internet(regular person)
Broadband cable is run into house>connects to modem>connects to wireless router so people have wi-fi>Laptop connects to wi-fi for internet.
My Internet
Broadband cable is run into house>connects to modem>Connects to my computer through an ethernet cable.
Therefore I have no router.(Well, I do, but I have to connect directly to the modem in order to get a blockland server working. My router can't port forward ;_;)
