     22=== Network Access ===
     23
     24You can either use NAT (Network Address Translation) or Bridged Ethernet to get network access from within the VM:
     25
     26 NAT::
     27   means that you share the IP address of the host machine in order to make outgoing connections (access internet sites from within your VM). Incoming connections from other machines (except the host machine) are not possible. Scanning the network will only reveal one machine, your host.
     28
     29 Bridget::
     30   means that the VM will act like a real machine within your network. It tries to get an IP over DHCP within the same range like your host machine. Outgoing and Incoming connections are possible. Scanning the network will reveal two machines, your host and the VM.
     31
    2232On Windows, you may need to do the following to get network access in the VM:
    2333{{{
    … …  
    2939In the NAT tab: VMnet host: VMnet8
    3040}}}
     41
     42You should also add the IP address and hostname of the VM to your windows hosts file. To do this edit c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts with an editor and add for example:
     43{{{
     44192.168.190.128 debian.localdomain
     45}}}
     46With this you can connect a client from your host machine to your VM.
