network Network

The Network page contains settings related to the emulated machine’s network connectivity.

Network type

Network emulation mode to use. See Networking for more information on these.

  • None: disable networking.

  • 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.

PCap device

Host network adapter to use for PCap mode. If no adapters appear in this list, make sure PCap is enabled on your host and a supported network connection is present.

Network 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 I/O port and IRQ for ISA cards.

The [LPT] Parallel Port Internet Protocol network adapter requires a PLIP Network device to be attached to a parallel port.
