There is a bridged mode which ties the VM's adapter to the host computer's adapter. We also did this and it worked, albeit slowly.

The issue truly had nothing to do with using VMs, Linux, or otherwise (even though I laid it on pretty think with those). The real reason I was asking was because the nmap style scan the tool uses can be very slow, the inability to specify an ip address to look for is inconsistent with the other tools we're given, and the "problem" can still be found on low performance laptops running windows, which by rights should be supported and pain-free, as several teams (especially rookies) must use low performance laptops.
