Networking: A Beginner's Guide
For instance, if you have a web server running in a virtual machine that is
using a NAT virtual network interface, you would need to configure the
host operating system to forward incoming port 80 (and maybe port 443)
packets to that virtual machine. If the virtual machine is running only
client-type systems, however, then NAT would help conserve IP addresses
on the local network.
HostOnly
Choosing HostOnly creates a virtual network on the host
computer. Virtual machines that use this type of virtual network adapter
can communicate over the network, but only to other running virtual
machines on the host computer or to the host computer itself.
10. On the CD/DVD Drive page, shown in Figure 23-11, choose how to access the
CD/DVD drive. VMware Server can either share access to the host computer's
CD/DVD drive or it can emulate a CD or DVD drive by connecting to an image
file (ISO) stored on the host computer, within the VMware datastore. If the guest
operating system download already exists on the host computer as an image
file, then choosing this option is very convenient, and means you don't need
Figure 23-11.
