Do you have only one public IP address and do you want to share that between your host and your VM(s)? In this case you must use NAT config. If you have multiple public IPs and you want to assign one of those to your host and another of those to your guest (VM) then you must create a bridge such as br0 (or br1, it doesn't matter how you number it).
