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

Hi John:

Laptops tend to be a little fussy... proprietary hardware and all. I have
found if you can get a piece of software to run stability on the portable it
will run anywhere else.

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.
