Also, some networks will not allow just any host to connect, so using NAT can allow the VM to access network resources through the hosts' interface. Its also used as the default for this reason, its a less error prone setup, but I agree I prefer bridged in most situations. | |

| May 13, 2015 at 19:12 | comment | added | heavyd | @kdbanman, correct (assuming the host network is using DHCP), the VM will show up as another machine on the host network. | |
