Thank you for the great work Parallels! If we saw development this active on Macromedia (Adobe) Flash, it might not have so many lingering bugs, and I would be a much happier developer! Please ignore all of the disparaging comments; you're doing a fantastic job. |

Wireless bridge not working for me even after hotfix Hello. I'm currently running the 1812.7 build of Parallels Workstation 2.1 Beta 6 for Mac OS X on a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.4.6. The guest OS is Windows XP Pro SP2 with all updates. I have reinstalled the Parallels Tools after upgrading from the original Beta6. Bridged networking over Airport used to work under the original Beta6 (first version I have ever used) but now Windows states that the network is connected but that it cannot obtain an IP address. This happened after resuming a suspended VM and persists even after rebooting the guest and host. I have a pair of networks that I move between. One consists of an Airport Extreme base station with WPA2 encryption turned on. The DHCP server is a seperate server on the switched Gb network that the airport LAN port is plugged into (bridged). The other is an Airport Extreme/Express WDS network that is not encrypted and the DHCP comes from the Extreme. I am currently experiencing the problem on the first network. I have not yet tried moving back to the second one. I have seen the host-networking workarounds and may give that a try. I just wanted to post and let the Parallels team know that the hotfix didn't work for me. I would be happy to try to help troubleshoot this for them if contacted directly by the team. |

After shutting down the guest OS, quitting Parallels, and then going home, I tried starting it all up again to see if the network configuration made a difference. At home (the non-encrypted wireless network that uses WDS and that gets it's DHCP from a base station) the bridge networking works. Does this have something to do with where the DHCP lives (on the BS vs on a server)? Maybe is has to do with the encryption (none vs WPA2)? I hope that helps you to figure out what is happening. |

Ooops, that worked joem, thanks! I am a new Mac user thinking that my rebooting-for-every-install-days are over. Forget that the dhcp kernel dirver of Parallels probably needs a reboot. I rebooted and all is well with DHCP over wireless now. |
