I tried both but didn't really understand how NAT worked until I read |
| 24 |
your detailed description. |

My first try with bridged seems to have auto bridged to the wrong |
| 27 |
device on the host (the ethernet adaptor instead of wireless |
| 28 |
connection) and so the network I created using ifconfig and route |
| 29 |
didn't work. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
I see now that bridged is what I want and have insured that auto |
| 32 |
bridging connects to the right connection on the host. |
