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.
Interface
Host network adapter to use for PCap mode on this card. If no adapters appear on this list, 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.
Adapter
Network card to emulate. Only cards supported by the machine’s expansion buses will be listed.
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.
VDE Socket
The socket name specified when creating the VDE virtual switch. Only used in VDE mode.
See the VDE setup guide for more information.
