[AccessD] VM loses connection briefly

Just an update, I bought an intel NIC which I received today.  After install and futzing with the 
various VM "switches" and stuff, the VM is no longer losing connections.  This after only perhaps a 
half hour of using it.

I was getting a "stutter" approximately every 30-45 seconds where the VM would lose connection to 
the outside world.  That appears to be gone now.
