|

SLiRP creates a private network with a virtual router, allowing the emulated machine to reach the host, its network and the Internet; on the other hand, the host and other devices on its network cannot reach the emulated machine, unless :ref:`port forwarding <hardware/network:SLiRP port forwarding>` is configured. This is similar to the **NAT** mode on other emulators and virtualizers.

The virtual router provides automatic IP configuration to the emulated machine through DHCP. If that is not an option, use the following static IP settings:

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://nmap.org/npcap/>`_ (or another WinPcap-compatible driver) to be installed on the host. 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 machine's MAC address.
