Hi Doug: Thanks. I have never seen this issue before. I usually just match the real hardware network card name, which is generally automatic but could require a search through the host computers device manager for the appropriate network card name and then the NAT setting will detect it. Barring that I would suspect something else wrong. Was there any solution or things to check supplied along with this information?

Here's a snippet I found on Google (most of it was in Japanese!): Computers use addresses starting with "169.254." when they do not have a manually configured address or when they are not told which address to use by a service on the network. They are commonly called the "link local" addresses.
