Configuring network access for the virtual machine
This panel configures the type of networking that the virtual machine will
use. These choices are available:
- Use bridged
networking. Connect directly to a local Ethernet via an Ethernet network
adapter card in your computer.
- Use network address translation (NAT).
Allow the guest operating system to access the host computer's dial-up or
external Ethernet network connection using the host's IP address.
- Use host-only
networking. Connect the guest operating system to the host computer
internally over a virtual network.
- Bridged and host-only networking. Connect directly to a local Ethernet
via an Ethernet network adapter card in your computer, and allow your guest
operating system to access your host file system via an internal virtual
network.
- Do not use a network connection.
