| This section covers the process of setting up QEMU guest networking. Two different processes will be described. //Network Address Translation mode (NAT)// is the first and recommended way to get a functional network in QEMU guests. The second is //bridged mode//. NAT mode does not allow direct access to the Slackware x86 host's physical network and bridged mode does. It is best to use bridged mode if you plan on doing any more advanced network operations that require full access to the host and the host's physical network. Most users will want to use NAT mode. | This section covers the process of setting up QEMU guest networking.

| There are many different ways to configure QEMU guest networking. This document will only cover the QEMU functionality required to boot Slackware ARM. Refer to the QEMU man pages or the [[https://www.qemu.org/documentation/ | QEMU documentation]] if you need further explanation. | There are many different ways to configure QEMU guest networking.

| Modify the launcher helper scripts once you are certain your host has the appropriate network settings. Pay close attention to the **$NETTYPE** variable. Details about how to use this variable are documented in both the **installer_launch** and **disk_launch** helper scripts. Edit the **$MACADDR** variable if you are running more than one Slackware ARM guest in QEMU at once. | Modify the launcher helper scripts once you are certain your host has the appropriate network settings.
