Configuring Networking Options
As you learned earlier, the three network connection options are Bridged, HostOnly, and NAT.
Each of these network types has a default name, as follows:
• Bridged is called VMnet0.
• HostOnly is called VMnet1.
• NAT is called VMnet8.

You can configure virtual networking, including VMnet0, VMnet1, and VMnet8, with the
Virtual Network Editor. For example, you can configure VMware internal DHCP server capa-
bility for HostOnly and NAT networks. Bridged networks use an external DHCP server, such as
a Windows Server 2008 server configured for this service.
To explore the Virtual Network Editor, follow these steps:
1. Click Start , point to All Programs , click VMware , click VMware Server , and click Manage
Virtual Networks .
2. The Virtual Network Editor has the following tabs (see Figure D-12):
• Summary —Provides a summary of the virtual networks, including VMnet0, VMnet1,
and VMnet8
• Automatic Bridging —Controls bridging between the VMnet0 network and the network
adapter
• Host Virtual Network Mapping —Enables you to link virtual networks to physical network
adapters and virtual network adapters as well as configure subnet and DHCP properties
• Host Virtual Adapters —Shows virtual adapter connections, virtual networks, and the
status of connections
