16913	Add network options overview section in the manual -> duplicate of #16912	Socratis		"There are a lot of users that are getting confused for what option to use when selecting an appropriate network. What I have found useful is to include a small table that summarizes the capabilities of each and every network mode. Something like the following:
||=           =||= VM <-> Host =||= VM1 <-> VM2 =||= VM -> Internet =||=  VM <- Internet =||
||=HostOnly   =||   '''+'''     ||    '''+'''    ||      -           ||        -          ||
||=Internal   =||      -        ||    '''+'''    ||      -           ||        -          ||
||=Bridged    =||   '''+'''     ||    '''+'''    ||   '''+'''        ||     '''+'''       ||
||=NAT        =||      -        ||       -       ||   '''+'''        ||  [https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#natforward Port forward]            ||
||=NATService =||      -        ||    '''+'''    ||   '''+'''        ||  [https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#network_nat_service Port forward]   ||

Please consider adding something like that at the beginning of Ch. 6 Networking. I have a feeling it will help tremendously with the user understanding and support."	enhancement	closed	documentation	VirtualBox 5.1.22	duplicate	network overview, user manual		other	other
