Configuring Network Access for the Virtual Machine

This panel configures the type of networking that the virtual machine uses. 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. Allows your virtual machine to use both an existing Ethernet connection on your host computer (bridged networking) and also a virtual network limited to the host and the virtual machines running on the host (host-only networking). This allows for the sharing of files between the virtual machine and the host operating system.
Do not use a network connection.
