[AccessD] VMWare VM can't get to the network

Just an update, the VM itself is on a usb hard drive.  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.
