Dave, I tried switching it back to bridged and this time I did a complete restart of the VM. I checked the IP after the restart and lo and behold, I had a completely different IP. I updated my datasource in the CF Admin and voila! I had happy SQL Server love again. Thanks so much to you and everyone else who helped with this. It is hugely appreciated!
