Another possibility is to use NAT networking and forward port 80 to your VM.

That way your server should be able to access everything (internet and LAN), your server will not be visible to your lan. Connections to the port 80 of your real computer will actually connect to port 80 in your virtualised server.

You can check your web server from your host (real computer) pointing a browser to localhost.

You configuration should look like this:

Note that you don't need to fill the IP field.
