     39!VirtualBox provides two ways to access the network from the VM:
    4240Bridged Ethernet and NAT (Network Address Translation).
    43 These are selected using the pulldown menu below "Ethernet" in the VMware player.
     41These are selected in the configuration section of the !VirtualMachine. Please power down the VM before changing this value.
    4442We recommend that you start with Bridged Ethernet.

    46 The first time you boot the VM, log on as root and, if present, delete the file
     44If you somehow change the MAC address of the VM (e.g. cloning the VM) you also have to edit the file `/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules` after first startup of the VM. The file should look like this:
    4745{{{
    48 /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules
     46$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

     48# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
     49# program, run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
     50#
     51# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single
     52# line, and change only the value of the NAME= key.

    4959}}}
     60delete the line that ends with `NAME="eth0"` and rename `eth1` to `eth0`. Use the command:
     61{{{
     62$ sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

     64restart the VM after this.

    8297You should also add the IP address and hostname of the VM to your hosts file. To do this edit {{{C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts}}} (if the host is Windows) or {{{/etc/hosts}}} (as root; if the host is Unix) with an editor, and add for example:
    8398{{{
    84 141.142.234.9 debian.localdomain
     99141.142.234.9 debian6.localdomain

    86101
    87102With this you can connect a client from your host machine to your VM.
    88 If you're using a proxy to access the internet you should add 'debian.localdomain' to your list of exceptions in your browser.
     103If you're using a proxy to access the internet you should add 'debian6.localdomain' to your list of exceptions in your browser.
    89104You won't need a proxy to resolve a local address.

     115At this point, for the network changes to take effect, you may want to restart the Linux VM:
    101116{{{
    102 shutdown -rF now
     117$ sudo reboot
    103118}}}
    104 
    105 If you're running the VM on Windows and networking stops working,
    106 try the following.
    107 In a Windows command window:
    108 {{{
    109 net stop vmnetbridge
    110 net start vmnetbridge
    111 }}}
    112 Then restart the VM's network as well, with:
    113 {{{
    114 sudo ifconfig eth0 down
    115 sudo ifconfig eth0 up
    116 }}}
    117 If that still doesn't work, reboot your machine and try the same process again.

    125126so this mode is not recommended.
    126127
    127 However, this limitation can be circumvented using port forwarding
    128 (not available with the free VMware player).
    129 To do this, use the VMware virtual network editor (Edit > Virtual Network Settings > NAT > Edit > Port Forwarding).
    130 More information in [http://www.vmware.com/support/ws5/doc/ws_net.html Configuring a Virtual Network].
    131 On Windows, if NAT is to be used and not already set,
    132 do the following to get network access in the VM:
    133 {{{
    134 Start | Programs | VMware | VMware Server | Manage Virtual Networks
    135 (Virtual Network Editor):
    136 Host Virtual Network Mapping:
    137 VMnet0: Bridged to an automatically chosen adapter.
    138 VMnet8: VMware Network Adapter VMnet8
    139 In the NAT tab: VMnet host: VMnet8
    140 }}}
     128However, this limitation can be circumvented using port forwarding.
     129To do this, use the !VirtualBox Manager (Edit > Network), change the ''Attached to:'' option to NAT, click on ''Advanced'' then ''Port Forwarding''.
