Virtual PC for OS/2 Virtual Switch Driver. Virtual Switch Networking is the most powerful way of connecting your guest systems to an Ethernet network. It assigns a unique MAC address to your virtual machine, allowing it to use arbitrary network protocols and even act as a server. For other machine in the network, the virtual machine appears as an additional network station and it is indistinguishable from a "real" PC.

Note that while Virtual Switch Networking gives you more power and flexibility, it also means additional administration. The virtual machine uses a MAC address of its own and therefore needs a unique IP address etc. For typical TCP/IP requirements, the Shared Networking (NAT) is recommended.
