Yep, bet Dave is right. VMware tools modified /etc/hosts so that it lost its correct selinux MAC labels.
What does 'ls -latrZ /etc/host* ' give you?
Compare it to default /etc/hosts.
Might try restorecon using a known good file as a rereference.
Hi Scott,
Is Ubuntu running SELinux or AppArmor? If so, may need to disable. I had a
case where it would take x number of connections then stop responding.
Hope this helps,
