I'm a big GFX/EFX fan too. I never use the NAT networking thing and always turn off that service and virtual adapter.

Actually, I went there, and still am, and I pray to whichever
god will bring
me back Vmware GSX.

Actually Virtual Server 2005 R2 is better, namely for HT
support. Makes it
more bearable -- but I like GSX better. Or if I can afford it, ESX :)
