Connecting to a VM

I’m having some difficulty getting London Architect, running inside a virtual machine, to detect a BLU-100 that’s plugged directly into the host machine. It’s set up as follows:
• Host: 2.4 GHz Celeron, 1 GB RAM
• VM: 512 MB RAM
• Both machines running XP Pro SP3, London Architect 3.1 and the latest release of UltraVNC (the VM is intended to be iPad accessible)
• The host is connected to WLAN for internet and VNC connections and is connected directly to BLU-100 via 3 ft of CAT5e. The connections are bridged coming into the VM. Both have Windows Firewall disabled.
I can get everything to work fine if I run LA on the host machine. And before anyone says “just run it on the host,” the VM makes it easier to recover in the event of a computer failure and allows you to run it from any computer, regardless of OS. This means that you can use one of those “System on a Wall Plate” Linux computers that fit nicely in an outlet box and cost next to nothing.
I admit that I am a bit of a neophyte to BSS products (and, well, pro audio in general), so please excuse any rookie mistakes I may have made.
