Completely newbie, need help configuring network

[Mihai Dobrescu]

H, thanks for the tips.
It is a simple selection/option in VirtualBox, a nobrainer selection.
I'll read the first link, bur the second gives a security warning, so I'll
skip.

I wish there is a simple choice in virt-manager UI too.

Best Regards.
