Accessing nexus remotely

I am configuring nexus as part of Talend Administration Server on a VM and trying to access it from my laptop. The installation was successful. I am able to access it when I am on the VM however when I access it through my laptop I am not able to access it. I have verified the port and IP of the VM is open and accessible as I am able to run other services of Talend Administration remotely. Its just Nexus that is not accessible when I try it as http://:8081
can someone help if I am missing any configuration setting to access nexus remotely.

My nexus.properties file looks as below:

Jetty section

application-port=8081
application-host=0.0.0.0
nexus-args=${jetty.etc}/jetty.xml,${jetty.etc}/jetty-http.xml,${jetty.etc}/jetty-requestlog.xml
nexus-context-path=/

Nexus section

nexus-edition=nexus-pro-edition
nexus-features=
nexus-pro-feature
nexus.content.attributeAccessEnabled=true

Hi,
If you have a licensed “Pro” NXRM, then I suggest contacting support (support@sonatype.com) for a faster reply. This is one of the services your license pays for.
