Workstation 15 NAT causing Host machine to lose wired network connectivity

I have a Win7 machine in Workstation 15 that is causing my host machine's network port to die.

I can ping a device on the network from the base machine and as the VM is powering up the pich request times out.  I've tried reinstalling VMWare, restoring an old VM (that I know used to work perfectly), changing to Bridged, reinstalling VMWare tools and nothing fixes the problem.  The WiFi connection stays working correctly; it's only the physical network port that's "passing away".  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
