    I just bought a new MacBook Pro. I migrated my applications and data from my old machine using a Time Machine backup when I first booted the new machine. I have virtual machines running both Windows XP and Linux and since the migration neither has network connectivity. Since I have the issue with both OSes I'm assuming the problem is with Parallels and not a network setting. I was using Shared Networking, but tried Bridged Ethernet and got the same thing. Windows is setup to obtain IP and DNS addresses automatically and the firewall is turned off. If I go into Network Settings in Windows the Parallels Network Adapter icon says:

    Limited or no connectivity

    You might not be able to access the Internet or some
    network resources. This problem occurred because
    the network did not assign a network address to the
    computer.

    If I click the Repair button I get a dialogue box that says:

    Windows is taking the following action:

    Renewing your IP address

    After a delay, I get

    Windows could not finish repairing the problem because the
    following action cannot be completed:
    Renewing your IP address

    Anyone have any ideas? Again, I have no network connectivity on my Linux VM as well.

    ifconfig -a on Mac
    if you see 169.254.x.x on en2 or en3, try following

    sudo killall -HUP pvsnatd
