I rebooted it and suddenly bridged networking started working. Oddly enough, the other computers were getting dhcp wired and wireless just fine. I can't explain it, but everything works now. I will post back if anything breaks again. However, if anyone knows why the NAT service keeps dying, I would love to know.

NAT worked but the NAT service keeps crashing (anyone know why?). The guest and host are XP PRO. Bridged is not working for the guest. <br /> <p /> Can anyone help? I even tried disabling my wlan, with no luck. With bridged not working, and NAT constantly crashing, I have no alternative but to go back to Virtual Server and kick myself for spending money on Workstation 6.5.<br /> <p /> My networking dump:<br
