Please try restarting your Mac. I get this error sometimes and restarting my Mac has always fixed it.

And a note, for a Windows guest I would choose "bridged" network mode. In my experience it works better for Windows network connectivity.

Could also be #3636; @gradygambrell are you using macOS Internet Sharing? In that case please try changing the Network Mode to Emulated VLAN to get around this error.

Thanks @conath, this worked for me.
