Host-Only Networking

Host-only networking creates a network that is completely contained within the host computer. Host-only

networking provides a network connection between the virtual machine and the host system by using a

virtual network adapter that is visible on the host operating system.

When you install Player on a Windows or Linux host system, a host-only network (VMnet1) is set up for

you.

Configuring Bridged Networking

When you install Player on a Windows or Linux host system, a bridged network (VMnet0) is set up for you.

Bridged networking connects a virtual machine to a network by using the network adapter on the host

system. If the host system is on a network, bridged networking is often the easiest way to give the virtual

machine access to that network.

With bridged networking, the virtual network adapter in the virtual machine connects to a physical network

adapter in the host system. The host network adapter enables the virtual machine to connect to the LAN that

the host system uses. Bridged networking works with both wired and wireless host network adapters.

Bridged networking configures the virtual machine as a unique identity on the network, separate from and

unrelated to the host system. The virtual machine is a full participant in the network. It has access to other

machines on the network, and other machines on the network can contact it as if it were a physical computer

on the network.

You can view and change the settings for bridged networking on the host system, determine which network

adapters to use for bridged networking, and map specific host network adapters to specific virtual switches.

Assigning IP Addresses in a Bridged Networking Environment

A virtual machine must have its own identity on a bridged network. For example, on a TCP/IP network, the

virtual machine needs its own IP address. Your network administrator can tell you whether IP addresses are

available for virtual machines and which networking settings to use in the guest operating system.

Typically, the guest operating system can acquire an IP address and other network details from a DHCP

server, but you might need to set the IP address and other details manually in the guest operating system.

Users who boot multiple operating systems often assign the same address to all systems because they

assume that only one operating system will be running at a time. If the host system is set up to boot multiple

operating systems, and you run one or more operating systems in virtual machines, you must configure

each operating system to have a unique network address.
