Hey, I want to connect Windows 7 VM (from boot camp) to the internet, but I can't tick the connect check box under the configuration of the OS. Can anyone help me? EDIT: Windows XP & Vista also won't allow me to tick the connect check box for the network adaptor.
I have attached a picture, I don't think my original message was clear, I cannot tick the tick box to enable the network adaptor. IIRC I had the network adaptor for all VMs disabled before I opened my VMs with Parallels 5.
I removed my Windows 7 VM from Parallels 5, and made a new one which had the network adaptor enabled and I was able to connect to the internet. It however came up with a weird message when connecting the DVD drive to it's image or something, so I put back and opened the previous Windows 7 VM I removed. I would appreciate a solution to this, as I do not want to have to re-install Windows XP, and Windows Vista to enable them to connect to the internet (their network adaptors still can't be connected, and as I have put back the old Win 7 VM it's network adaptor also can't be connected) It appears that having had the network adaptor disabled from Parallels 4.0 and then opening them in Parallels 5.0 something has not happened correctly. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hi, I understand that it won't work if it is running and that's what I thought it was initially, however I have tried to connect the Network Adaptor in all VMs while they are turned off without success. I created a new VM from my Windows 7 BC partition, it allowed me to change the Network Adaptor settings and was initially enabled. I would like to fix the issue though, I don't want to reinstall XP or Vista. I will attach a picture of the weird error.
