[Simh] VAX networking issue

I have a SIMH/VAX install that was on a Raspberry Pi2 until we had a power outage, now the RPi won’t recognize the SD card.  So I’m trying to migrate it to a VM (Ubuntu 16.04LTS).  It doesn’t seem to find the network.  I’m able to SSH to the host VM, so I know it’s on the network.  I’ve tried both the SIMH available for Ubuntu (v3.8), and current.  Of course this is the host with the Quorum disk for my Cluster.

*** vax Simulator being built with:
*** - compiler optimizations and no debugging support. GCC Version: 5.4.0.
*** - dynamic networking support using Linux provided libpcap components.
*** - Local LAN packet transports: PCAP TAP NAT(SLiRP)
*** - Per simulator tests will be run.

Checking another system in my cluster, the hosts status still shows as BRK_NON.

I took the same backup over to a physical box (Ubuntu 16.04LTS), and it works just fine.  There also doesn’t appear to be any firewall in play.

I’m probably missing something obvious, any thoughts?
