Windows 10 host Workstation Pro 15.1.0 : Networking on Centos 6 VM won't start in bridged mode

It's a bit convoluted, but I moved a Centos 6.9 VM from Oracle VirtualBox to workstation Pro 15.1 using the OVA format.

It worked (yay!), and the new VM booted without any problems

I remove the VirtualBox Tools

I installed the Linux VMWare tools

I recreated the network adapter and re-added it.

I made sure the MAC address of eth0 in /etc/sysconfig/network-scrtips/ifcfg-eth0 matches the settings of the VM

Initiating /etc/init.d/network restart does the following in the attached image

It was odd, as the networking would work in NAT mode, just not bridged mode.

Ultimately, re-installing VMWare Workstation Pro and rebooting solved the problem.
