Hi Steve6375
My memory says nat was problematic on older versions of vmware emulating PEnt6x.....
Anyway, no problems anymore, triple verified by ChrisR on nt6x and me on nt5x,
So, now nat is default for nt6x builds (in fact all kind of builds) on vmware plugin, on both servers

There is also explanation (+and a nice button) added to plugin that will help any future user that decide to use bridge
