Routing and Connection Sharing
If you install the proper routing or proxy software on your host computer, you can
establish a connection between the host virtual Ethernet adapter and a physical
network adapter on the host computer. This allows you, for example, to connect the
virtual machine to a Token Ring or other non-Ethernet network.
On a Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 host computer, you can
use host-only networking in combination with the Internet connection sharing
feature in Windows to allow a virtual machine to use the hosts dial-up networking
adapter or other connection to the Internet. See your Windows documentation for
details on configuring Internet connection sharing.
