Hello all. I have read countless text stating that Shared Networking solves just about any connection problem, however, Under Windows 7, both 32 and 64 bit, inside Parallels 5 for Mac, I can't get Shared Networking to function. I can connect on bridged, but i would prefer shared. If anyone has noticed this as well, please, how did you solve ? Thanks.
Thank you for the report Let's start with standard steps (they are thorough this time because your report is the first one about issue with SharedNetworking in PD5!): Please switch to the Shared Networking and wait approximately 10 seconds. Then try to connect to some site in browser. Then click Start -> Run and execute cmd.exe. Type in the appeared window command "ipconfig /all" (without quotes). Stretch the window to make all the output fit and without closing the window, click menu of Parallels Destkop "Help"->"Report a Problem", send a problem report (it is not necessary to provide description) and post here the report ID. Then, on the Mac-side, execute /Application/Utilities/Terminal and type in the appeared window command "prl_perf_ctl -s nat" (also without quotes) and post here the output PS: Also, if you have some Firewall installed on Mac OS Side (for example, LittleSnitch), make sure that process prl_naptd has all access to the network
Elric, thanks for the fast response I have done some checking; My firewall is turned on, it is the Snow Leopard firewall, not any other. Parallels Service, which holds prl_naptd, has full access. After turning the firewall off, shared networking still fails. I suspected a 64 bit client problem, so I tested with a clean 32 bit install of windows 7, same problem. The "Report a problem" id: 760179 Thanks again.

For some reason the DHCP-Server that gives IP-addresses to VirtualMachines in SharedNetworking is disabled (it should be visible even in GUI). Please enter to the menu of PD "Parallels Desktop" -> "Networking" and either press "Restore Defaults" button or just enable the DHCP for the Shared Networking (choose SharedNetworking in combo-box and enable DHCP) - but prefferable Restore Defaults
> Please enter to the menu of PD "Parallels Desktop" -> "Networking" and either press "Restore Defaults" button I mistyped.. it supposed to be menu of PD "Parallels Desktop" -> "Preferences" -> "Networking" PS: I should really use preview before post -)
Excellent, why didn't I think of that. I did see the setting, but was expecting my home routers DHCP would handle the job. How silly of me Thank you very much. Will continue to evaluate PD5. Remon.
