Hi, I am sorry I don't know which page you refer to... I am confusing now cause first, I don't know which mode could be best for my needs. What I need is two VMs on a real machine, these two VMs could communicate with each other. It seems bridged mode is suitable here. But there is no network access for bridged mode. BTW, when I use NAT mode, two VMs get the same IP address, and they could not get to each other.
