    I am traveling in Europe and switched from wifi to usb wireless Internet connection.
    Clicking on Parallel, Windows informed me that -because of the substantial changes in configuration(???) I had to re-register but also that I lost connectivity to the Internet. (My connection thorugh Mac TIger is fine)
    Parallels Configuration Editor shows :Network Adapter1, Bridged Internet , Enabled (it can't be changed to shared networking)

    Please advise me how to get on the Internet through WIndows so I can re-register it-and use it.
    Thanks

    The problem is that USB modem shutdown Parallels NAT interface.
    Try following:
    Restart mac plugin USB modem.
    in Terminal
    sudo killall -HUP pvsnatd
    for now try to select Shared Networking

    I changed Parallels>Configuration from Bridged to Shared
    I typed into Terminal: sudo -killall -HUP pvsnatd. ENTER
    It asked for my password-which I can't enter because the typing is blocked.
    (I tried to get on the Internet on the Windows side anyway-but it doesn't work.

    Please help!!!

    Now It Works!!!

    The combination of changing from Bridged to Shared Networking
    and entering into Terminal: sudo -killall -HUP pvsnatd (and NOT sudo killall)
    WORKS.
    I was able to get on the Internet on the WIndows side, I was able to reactivate my Windows and Ithink I am back in business.
    Thanks a lot!!!

    You need to enter
    sudo killall -HUP pvsnatd
    and input is not blocked - it is invisible, please carefully type i password and press enter
