Switch the network to bridged instead of NAT

You're using an old version. Since 2.1.0, you can use Bridged mode which will allow you to use the NIC directly, without the use of a virtual one and bridge it manually with the physical NIC. So you have to use Host Interface. I'm not exactly sure about the name though, could be that the feature I described was still called Host Interface for 2.1.
