Hello, I installed Windows in Parallels long ago, and its internet worked fine until recently. For no apparent reason, it quit working. Now I cannot get online. I reset Winsock, but it didn't help. This is what I get by typing ipconfig into Windows Terminal: Windows IP Configuration Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.141.201 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : I go online using Airport, and my actual IP address is not similar at all to the "Autoconfiguration IP Address" that ipconfig returns. Please help.
What networking mode was in your VM? Shared/Bridged one? Have you triend to switch between networking modes? What exactly happened before you lost the connection? Were there any updates/unexpected shutdowns etc? As I can see from this line: Autoconfiguration IP Address. . . : 169.254.141.201 Interface was killed. If you had Shared Networking, try to execute this command in Mac Os X terminal: sudo killall -HUP pvsnatd
Thanks, Chloe! I ran the command, then switched to shared networking, and now I have internet in Windows. I have installed several OS X updates, but nothing major in specific happened before this problem showed up. Originally, my virtual Network Adapter 1 was set to AirPort (I guess this is bridge networking). I tried switching the options around (to Host-Only and Shared networking), but they didn't work either. But now the problem is fixed
