7 <p>The <b outputclass="bold">Network</b> section in a virtual machine's <b outputclass="bold">Settings</b> window
8 enables you to configure how <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> presents virtual network cards
9 to your VM, and how they operate. </p>
10 <p>When you first create a virtual machine, <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> by default enables
11 one virtual network card and selects the Network Address Translation (NAT) mode for it. This way the guest can
12 connect to the outside world using the host's networking and the outside world can connect to services on the
13 guest which you choose to make visible outside of the virtual machine. </p>
14 <p>This default setup is good for the majority of <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> users.
15 However, <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> is extremely flexible in how it can virtualize
16 networking. It supports many virtual network cards per virtual machine. The first four virtual network cards can
17 be configured in detail in <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/vbox-mgr"/>. Additional network cards can be
18 configured using the <userinput>VBoxManage</userinput> command. </p>
19 <p>Many networking options are available. See <xref href="networkingdetails.dita#networkingdetails"/> for more
20 information. </p>
