bridge allow your vm to connect to the internet directly. the vm will connect to the dhcp server as your host machine do. vde creates a vlan on your host, and your vms connect to that vlan. and your host machine will act like a gateway to your vm. people say vde is easier to config if you have many vms. i actually never tried bridge. maybe i should try it some time. -- Best Regards, David Shen http://twitter.com/davidshen84/
