[SASAG] Host and VM communication

[Christopher Smith]

Just for fun the MAC was changed but this didn't change our problem.

On a whim we changed the IP address of the VM to an unused static IP.
Suddenly our pings resolved normally from all sides. When we changed it back
to its original IP it was broken again.

ALSO, administrative shares are completely accessible.
