Or the Window's Firewall. JWC, just out of curiousity, why do you use VMWare over Virtual PC?

I move that to my server running VMWare Server and the VM runs fine and gets out to the network and internet so it is something on my laptop causing the issue. Really a PITA. I have had many problems getting the laptop to reliably run VMs. It works, it doesn't work, it works, it doesn't work. ATM it doesn't work. Sigh. John W.
