For lack of another way, I went to mcc and restarted with the wizard. This time I checked the internet connection and the komba2 connection before leaving mcc. All was well, mdkgroup and home workgroup and the internet. When I closed mcc, the connection went down. I reopened mcc, started the connection, and this time cancelled instead of saying ok. Network stayed up. Must be the cooker mystique? Well, time for the VMware again. Four more to go.
