The Network page contains settings related to the emulated machine’s network connectivity.
Network Card #1-#4
Network interface cards to emulate. Up to 4 independent network cards are supported.
Mode
Network emulation mode to use on this card. See Networking for more information on these.
Null Driver: emulate an empty network. All packets are dropped.
PCap: connects directly to a host network adapter. Similar to the Bridge mode on other emulators and virtualizers.
SLiRP: creates a private network with a virtual router. Similar to the NAT mode on other emulators and virtualizers.
VDE: attaches to a virtual switch created by VDE. Only available on Linux and macOS hosts.
Note
If PCap mode is not listed, make sure that:
A WinPcap-compatible driver is installed;
The installed driver is compatible with your version of Windows;
At least one compatible (wired) network adapter is present.

The Configure button opens a new window with settings specific to the selected network card, such as the MAC address for Ethernet cards, and the I/O port and IRQ for ISA cards.
Note
The MAC address is partially configurable and always prefixed by an Organizationally Unique Identifier belonging to the card’s manufacturer, such as
00:E0:4C
for Realtek.The [LPT] Parallel Port Internet Protocol network adapter requires a PLIP Network device to be attached to a parallel port.
Settings for the [COM] Standard Hayes-compliant Modem are described on Networking.
Options
Settings for the network emulation mode selected above. Only settings relevant to the selected mode will be shown.
Interface: host network adapter to use in PCap mode.
VDE Socket: virtual switch socket path to use in VDE mode. See the VDE setup guide for more information.
