I installed Parallels yesterday on a MacBook Pro 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo with Max OS X 10.5.3 with Windows Vista Ultimate as a guest OS. I can't get networking to work on Vista. In Parallels, I have the network adapter set to 'Shared Networking'. I do see the Parallels-Guest and Parallels NAT in "System Preferences-Network" with both configured to use DHCP. In Windows Vista, I don't see any network adapter. In Device Manager, I see that the device drivers for the Ethernet Controller have not been installed. Not sure why. Any suggestions? This may have been discussed in the past, but I couldn't find anything searching the forums. Thanks in advance.

Unrecognized Ethernet Controller in Windows Vista

Hi,

I am new to this. I installed Parallels yesterday on a MacBook Pro 2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo with Max OS X 10.5.3 with Windows Vista Ultimate as a guest OS.

I can't get networking to work on Vista.

In Parallels, I have the network adapter set to 'Shared Networking'.

I do see the Parallels-Guest and Parallels NAT in "System Preferences-Network" with both configured to use DHCP.

In Windows Vista, I don't see any network adapter. In Device Manager, I see that the device drivers for the Ethernet Controller have not been installed. Not sure why.

Any suggestions? This may have been discussed in the past, but I couldn't find anything searching the forums.

Thanks in advance.
