So I did some further testing. I get the same problem with host only 
networking as I do with nat. Bridged networking seems to work fine 
though. The guest OS gets an ip on my House LAN (yeah wireless 
bridging!) and I can get to it from any machine.

Does anyone know how Vmware handles it's nat? There's a config file 
under /etc/vmware/vmnet3/nat but it appears exactly the same as the one 
on my clone.

Did Ubuntu 9.1 include any default changes with firewall settings or tcp 
wrappers? I don't have any entries in /etc/hosts.allow or hosts.deny, so 
I'm assuming tcp wrappers isn't enabled. I can't see any settings for 
firewalls under administration, so I'm also assuming that nothing new 
was added there.
