Fedora VM not connecting to Host-Only

Question

Host: Win7, VM: Fedora 20, VMware player 7. Hello, I have been working on a virtual Fedora 20 OS for a while and randomly the connection dropped. The Wifi on the Host machine is fine, but the vm cannot connect. Here is the output for ifconfig -a:

I don't have much experience with troublshooting on a linux OS. Some guidance would be much appreciated.

I solved this issue by adding NM_CONTROLLED=yes to the network card config file located in etc/sysconfig/network-scripts. After which I then ran the command sudo ifup <name of vm NIC>
