You could try to configure the VM to create a virtual adapter, and connect "directly" to the local network. From the access point, it looks like there is another computer on the network. This would work in VMplayer, I don't know about virtualbox.

It would be interesting if you could expand your process further. Instead of distributing an installation disc, FIRST could just distribute a VM. All you would have to do is copy the VM, and then there are no platform issues.

And yes, sometimes it takes a forever to find the cRIO. We just reset and reimage it.
