@@ -31,7 +31,7 @@ PCap
PCap connects directly to one of the host's network adapters. The emulated machine must be configured as if it were a real machine on your network. This is similar to the **Bridge** mode on other emulators and virtualizers.
This mode requires `Npcap <https://npcap.com/>`_ (or another WinPcap-compatible driver) to be installed on Windows hosts, or the correct permissions to be set for accessing ``pcap`` on Linux or ``bpf`` on macOS hosts. Only **wired Ethernet network connections** are compatible; Wi-Fi and other connections will not work at all, as they do not allow PCap to listen for packets bound to the emulated card's MAC address.
On Windows hosts, this mode requires `Npcap <https://npcap.com/>`_ to be installed with **WinPcap API-compatible Mode enabled** (or use another WinPcap-compatible driver), or the correct permissions to be set for accessing ``pcap`` on Linux or ``bpf`` on macOS hosts. **Only wired Ethernet network connections** are compatible; Wi-Fi and other connections will not work at all, as they do not allow PCap to listen for packets bound to the emulated card's MAC address.
