In the VirtualBox user manual, the section that talks about bridging, it |
23 |
says in one part: |
24 |
|
25 |
If your host is running Windows XP or newer, you can also use the built-in |
26 |
bridging |
27 |
feature to connect your host interfaces to your physical network card. |
28 |
After creating |
29 |
the desired host interfaces, select your physical network adapter in the |
30 |
Network Connections |
31 |
folder and the desired host interface adapters and select “Bridge |
32 |
connections” |
33 |
from the popup menu. |
34 |
|
35 |
My laptop runs Windows Vista, but I don't know what is meant by the phrase |
36 |
"Network Connections folder". Is it a virtualbox thing? Is it a Windows |
37 |
thing? Either way, where is it? |
