Hi,

I am sorry I don't know which page you refer to... I am confusing now =
cause first, I don't know which mode could be best for my needs. What I =
need is two VMs on a real machine, these two VMs could communicate with =
each other. It seems bridged mode is suitable here. But there is no =
network access for bridged mode.=20

BTW, when I use NAT mode, two VMs get the same IP address, and they =
could not get to each other.

Thanks,
W.W.
