William, I went to "Devices" and then "Network Adapter" and changed the setting from NAT to bridged and the intial command notebook now works. I assune this means Sage notebooks will only work if I am connected to my router. The !ifconfig showed I had a ip address of 127.0.0.1 which clearly did not work.
I am still suprised that the command line version of sage graphics commands don't work. Thanks for your help.
