In a VM you can rebuild nearly every situation. The only Network interface which is independent of a working network interface is the loopback interface (127.0.0.1/localhost) for everything else you need an working network adapter (there are also virtual ones). This means you cant connect from outside the VM to your Server if it is disabled. But you can set up a "Host-only" or NAT Network, this means you can only connect to your VM from your Host-System/Physical Machine. With the NAT Interface your machine also gets acces to the Internet, but you cant route traffic to a NAT Network if I remember right. To make your Server accessible from the Internet you need a Bridged Network and you have to edit the routing tables in your router to route the incomming traffic directly to your VM. The IP should be an dynamically one at default. You could get get it with the command "ifconfig".
