Andrew, from the timing of these posts, you haven't been getting much sleep. I just installed the latest beta 6 hotfix and I am once again able to connect wirelessly to the net. You folks have been very responsive to every issue raised (I've been here since beta 2) and your hard work is most appreciated. Larry |

Beta 6 is working great here... wifi, shared folders, etc. I haven't tried much of anything USB-related yet, so will need to try out Wacom tablet or something next. Keep up the great work!! __________________ MacBook Pro 2.0 iMac G5 2.1 MacMini G4 Learning something new everyday... |

My Network adaptor was set to Default and it warned me to use another one, so I switched it to en1. en0 was not even there, perhaps because my Ethernet was disabled in my OSX System preferences/Network port configurations. Now I see both Ethernet Adaptor (en2) grayed out and Parallels Host-Guest Adaptor likevise grayed out. I'd like to see some readme file in each beta explaining what each beta is doing to out mac infigurations, which ports are installed, disabled, enabled etc. So that we are not in the dark all the time. I had no idea where all these new ports came from, I only assumed that they are from Parallels. The way it is leaves me droping in the dark and afraid that some alient is taking over my MacBook. Should I delete these grayed out ports and if yes, where? Will we need them in the future and for what? thanks |

MBP 2Ghz, 2Gb -- Win2k Pro all is well with networking here. After installing parallels tools, from the menu, my devices (other pci and VGA) are both working properly. chad |

Any news on VPN? I was hoping that Beta 6 would solve the VPN problem (described here http://forum.parallels.com/post5404-1.html), but still no luck. I really would like to hear from somebody at Parallels about this; I have already sent multiple emails to support@parallels.com but I haven't heard anything back. I'm sure that email address is completely flooded with emails right now, so I do not fault them for not having gotten to mine. However, I would really appreciate someone from Parallels at very least mentioning something like: VPN should work, there must be something wrong with your setup; or, VPN will be implemented in a future version;, or VPN will never be compatible with Parallels Workstation, or something like that. |

VPN definetly should work - most likely you have some problems with proper setuping it. We will be back soon and will try to understand what is wrong with your setup. __________________ Best Regards, Andrew @ Parallels |

1) Start up the host without the VPN and open the guest OS (XP in this test). 2) Run nslookup from a command prompt in the guest. 3) Enter the remote VPN host name. It should return an IP address. 4) Try pinging the host name from the host and guest - it should work. 5) Now go back to the host and establish a VPN session from there. 6) Ping the VPN host from the host OS (OS X). It should work. 7) Go back to the guest and try the lookup again - it should now fail. 8) Try a ping from the guest - it should now fail. If this performs in the same way, it means that since beta 5 we can no longer have both the host and guest on independent TCP VPNs. If it doesn't work at all, ensure that both of the Parallels loopback adapters are disabled (removed) from the host network configuration. When these are enabled (in beta 4 on), it prevents the guest from establishing any VPN session. I have yet to try Beta 6 but will report back when I do. |
