If your host computer is on a network and you have a separate IP address for
your virtual machine (or can get one automatically from a DHCP server), select
Use bridged networking.
If you do not have a separate IP address for your virtual machine but you want to
be able to connect to the Internet, select Use network address translation
(NAT). NAT is useful if you have a wireless network adapter on a Linux host (as
bridged networking on wireless network adapters is supported only on
Windows hosts). It also allows for the sharing of files between the virtual
machine and the host operating system.
For more details about VMware Workstation networking options, see
Networking on page 183.
