| NAT Network | Base Machine | VM1 | VM2 | | :-------------: | :----------: | :-: | :-: | | Base Machine | Yes | No | No | | VM1 | No | Yes | Yes | | VM2 | No | Yes | Yes | | Internet Access | Yes | Yes | Yes |


The NAT Network configuration differs from basic NAT mode by allowing VMs to communicate with each other within the virtual NAT network while still providing internet access via the host.


  1. Ping Behavior in NAT Network Mode:
    • The Base Machine (host) does not directly communicate with the VMs because the NAT network is isolated.
    • VM1 and VM2 can ping each other because they share the same NAT network.
  2. Internet Access:
    • All VMs have internet access through the NAT network.
    • The Base Machine naturally has its own internet access.
