Thank you for that. Seems that Suspend hard keeps the virtual network intact on restore whereas soft appears to corrupt the VM state. 

So it appears that the scripts that tools runs probably does not take into consideration a virtual network and the state restoration restores just the state that is associated with just the physical network. Virtual networks are essentially corrupted with Suspend Guest (on workstation) or Suspend (Fusion). Thanks for the heads up I'll live with the VM still being connected to the network.
