As LeftRoad mentioned, your best and easiest way to fix your problem is to put your VM on the same IP subnet as your host machine.
Place your VM on the same subnet by changing your VMnet1 and VMnet8 adapters to be on the same subnet (or enable them to use DHCP if you don't mind the IP address changing). By the sounds of it though you would want to use a static IP address though since you have somebody else remoting into your network from the outside.
What this means is you have to set your VMnet adapters to be in the "192.168.1.xxx" range where xxx is a unique number between 2 and 254. Notice below that your VMnet adapters have IP addresses of 192.168.116.1 and 192.168.142.1 and Dustin-PC has an IP address of 192.168.1.7. These will not communicate with one another unless you have some routing help because they are on different networks.
In basic terms for home use, all of your computers (and home router) should have the same first 3 octets (192.168.1.xxx) or whatever so they can communicate with one another. Dustin-PC= 192.168.1.7, VMnet1 = 192.168.1.8 and VMnet8 = 192.168.1.9. Remember that the last number can be anything between 2-254 as long as it's unique and isn't assigned to another device (I excluded 192.168.1.1 since it's typically assigned to the router and already used which is indicated below by your gateway address aka router ip address). Also remember that your subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0 for all machines and the DHCP, Default Gateway and DNS servers should also typically match Dustin-PC.
You should be able to change the VMNet adapter settings in the VMWare software on Dustin-PC.
