Just installed Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac. I can't seem to get Explorer to connect to the internet - it doesn't seem to see the external modem connected by USB - Explorer opens to home page but is offline - won't/can't connect even if the host computer is connected to the internet through the external modem - I've looked through the manual but can't find how to fix this. Can anyone help me with this? Please and thank you!
1. Check do you have Network Adapter connected and Enabled in VM configuration 2. please post here ifconfig -a from Mac Terminal and ipconfig /all from Windows command console
Network adaptor is connected and enabled in VM configuration where will I find: ifconfig -a from Mac Terminal and ipconfig /all from Windows command console
Open Terminal from /Applications/Utility - Mac OS Start - Run - type in cmd, click Enter - Windows Command console Better to select Shared Networking
Not sure if you got my reply to your last message: Terminal - Mac Last login: Sun Dec 28 13:31:01 on console ip-66-159-124-67:~ jimparrott$ Windows Command console I typed in ipconfig /all - space between g and / - terminal appeared briefly - empty and then disappeared with no space I got an error message - Windows cannot find "ipconfig/all". Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. I hope this helps - why is it not automatically making the connections? I've searched the manual and can't find out anything to change. Thanks for your help Jim
in Mac OS type in ifconfig -a In Windows do not type ipconfig /all in Run window, type cmd in new black window type ipconfig /all with space in between words

It seems that either Network adapter is disabled in Device Manager, or it is not connected to Virtual machine
Check adapter in Device Manager, and check is Network adapter is Connected and enabled in VM configuration,
enabled network adapter in Device Manager Network adapter is connected and enabled in VM configuration Ran "ipconfig /all" again - result : Windows IP Configuration Host name -TheParrotts Primary Dns Suffix - Node Type - Unknown IP Routing enabled - No WINS Proxy Enabled - No Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 4 - Connection-specific DNS Suffix - Description - Parallels Ethernet Adapter Physical Address - 00-1c-42-001-33-0 Dhcp Enabled - yes Autoconfiguration Enabled - yes IP Address - 10,211.55.3 Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway - 10.211.55.1 DHCP Server -10.211.55.1 DNS Servers -10.211.55.1 Lease Obtained - Jan. 4, 2009 11;57;44 AM Lease Expires - Jan. 11, 2009 11;57;44 AM Still not able to get Explore to connect but the Parallels Internet Security is able to connect and download updates - strange unless it's working through the Mac
On a whim, I went in and removed the dialup accesses and enabled the network access - what do you know - Explorer is now working inside Window VM - many thanks - your questions and instructions were part of what lead me to do what I did.
